And part of the reason things remain as they are is because a combination of cowardice and tribalism keeps the left from calling out when members of their own party don’t align with their viewpoints

The black community in particular can get away with literally anything from the left’s perspective. Looting is justified, violence against trans people is ignored, etc. The left is so scared of losing their vote the black community has made them their complete bitch, and I greatly respect the black community for that

One could say “oh the right always bows to the MAGA trumpers too”, and that might be true, but the right doesn’t pretend to be white saviors and are more than comfortable being seen as actual assholes than fake saviors

And I think all the infighting and fractures in the right wing are an example of why this is not as true as many think. Sure, sticking to your worldview even amongst your own party probably isn’t going to win elections, but at least you stay true to yourself
