Since at least 2008, it seems to be that the US (and many other countries I'm sure) are blinded by partisanship: whatever THEIR team does is justified, and whatever the OTHER team(s) do(es) is evil.
It was super obvious under Obama: he was almost acclaimed like a Messiah, even though he made healthcare *objectively* worse, doubled the (nominal) debt, deported more people than any of his precessors and weaponized the justice system through the IRS. Any one who dared criticizing him was labeled a racist (of COURSE there were some), and media basically fawned over him, and they accused anyone not supporting Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris to be sexist... even though they totally ganged against Sarah Palin in 2008.
Trump's second term, I think, shows the extent of the blind partisanhip on the GOP side. They were already in great awe when Trump first declared his love for the candle makers' petition, but now it's getting ridiculous. However you look at the stats, manufacturing employment is DOWN since he enacted the great wall of tariffs.
The worst part, however, is probably the Epstein files. He ran on the matter, but then gaslit the public by saying it was a Democrat hoax.
I know I ultimately have no control over people's blatant double standards... but how can I stay neutral in situations where people's opinion basically depend on their political color rather than their core beliefs?
I consider myself anarchist (no RULERS, NOT no rules), so I see the bad from both main sides
