You've highlighted my main issue with American political discourse today.
Like, there's a very common narrative of "when side A has a large proportion of climate change deniers and anti-masks and anti-vaxxers and Young Earth creationists, and side B doesn't, there's no point pretending these sides are symmetrical", which I mostly agree with.
But somehow that narrative quickly becomes "therefore we should suppress all Joe Biden scandals (including corruption and sexual harassment), encourage all corporations to deny service to Republican partisans, and brand anyone trying to bridge the gap as a class traitor" and I'm left wondering what the fuck is your country doing.
(antivax used to be a non-partisan position, by the way, but since the Trump administration I've seen some data that suggests it's becoming a mostly Republican one)
