      “Biden has said worse”

      “They didn’t mean it like that”

      “Your source is corrupt”

      “They are lying about their age because they are immigrants”

      Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

      The more you get angry, the more they can play victim.

        I think you’re underestimating the extent to which they really want these things, or their donors do. These issues aren’t new, and many of them either trace back to before the founding of the country, or are proxies for other issues which do. They’re just feeling bold these days.
