... if one side moves farther to the right, and the other side stays where they are, the side calling out the mover isn't "both sides".
(Not that Democrats haven't also moved farther right)
They literally did a 180 on immigrants when Joe Biden was president what are you talking about lol
I mean... I say right in the post that Republicans are worse. But partisans are simply incapable of any introspection.
The reason you are being downvoted is because you are doing a “both sides” over two right wing political parties in a left wing space that overwhelmingly recognizes that neither party represents us or our interests. Whether you mean to or not you are lumping everyone left of center in with the right-wing Democrats simply because they are the least-right party that currently exists, and that is not only reductive, but harmfully inaccurate.
