You call it left wing, I call it sensible and in touch with reality.
I don't bleed blue. I don't have Biden swag in my closet. I just see one side that is grounded and reasonable in what they're saying and one that's living on another planet where people are out to get you, oppress you and nothing you know can be trusted.
As someone that believes that the truth is always somewhere in the middle, to consider all the information available, and to never weigh too heavily into one take and evaluate opinions with a grain of salt, these takes coming from the people still backing Trump in the face of all the current information come across as very imbalanced. To lean so heavily into something that has not been substantiated really discredits their take on it imo. The rational republican approach would be something like Romney's twitter statement which was at least reasonable to say and I had no issues with whatsoever.
If this portion of the right wing didn't come across as eyes deep in fictional conspiracies and so aggressive and often hyperbolic in their approach then maybe they'd get more people and media personalities behind them.
I think they're their own worst enemies with the lack of self awareness in how they come across to their fellow man. Aggression, labels and paranoia doesn't do well win people over in regards to anything. Comes across as more of a "them" problem that exists between the ears than an "us" problem.
Just saying.
