Mikesez is actively supporting Trump's impeachment while simultaneously calling for others to be reasonable about Biden's actions. It would be one thing if it was just his opinion and he was an outlier, but he isn't. He speaks what the left tells him to think. I can't stand this kind of hypocrisy. This is why we end up with people on the right who are beginning to lean into their emotions.

Agreed. Quid pro quo is destructive and diversionary. The right needs to check themselves. This won't be Biden's first major blunder. He's doing more for the Republican cause than any misguided impeachment posturing.

The right can't continue to check themselves with out a redirect from the left. I think the sentiment on the right is that the left is allowed to have a double standard, which gives them a leg up in almost every way. Why should the right be principled if the left won't? We have to walk that line between holding ourselves to a standard while demanding the left do the same. If not, we may as well just duke it out. The erosions of the standards is my biggest fear. I think it's more likely to become entrenched if it's a slow, evolving process.
