    Meanwhile republicans don’t even criticize their own for committing crimes so they continue to win elections.

    I think that’s a pretty bad takeaway. Republicans and other authoritarians oppose criticism of leadership, requiring obedience. That’s not something to aim for, IMO.

      There was so much criticism of anti-fascists that actual authoritarian fascists won the election.

      Criticism isn’t just criticism. It is used by bots and propaganda to discourage voting for anti-fascists.

        Really? Then why are Republicans able to win elections despite all the criticism against them, or does it conveniently only work in the one direction that supports your argument? This is such a ridiculous take.

          The dems criticizing republicans aren’t their voter base. The republican voter base doesn’t criticize republicans.

          Why does that need to be explained to you?
