When someone says the Earth is flat, it delegitimizes them, not the "spheroid Earth" backers.

I wish I would hear the table turned on the Republicans from time to time. Their whining and complaining about the election delegitimizes them, not democracy. That's the way I see it. The more they fail, the more evidence-free, resentful, sometimes cracked paranoia they show, the less legitimate they are.

The single biggest scandal of the past several decades has been the media's continued support for the right wing's fake scandal machine. The "investigations" into democrats were clearly nothing but fantasies of right-wingers hoping they could find facts to support their delusions about democrats.

Yet they're never called out on their malicious and selective investigations, clearly done for partisan political reasons. They never pay a price for being consistently wrong.
