No, it’s just weird that this is the final straw for anyone. Like it’s great if even one person wakes up because of this incident and recognizes that they were completely wrong about the guy, and we should continue to criticize every failure and prosecute every crime. But he was a piece of shit before the incident. We knew he was a piece of shit, and you either needed to also be a piece of shit or have your head entirely up your own ass to not see it before.
That part wasn’t me, but I think it means that it is weird that this story is the one that is getting under the skin. Trump has done many more disrespectful and criminal things, so it seems odd that suddenly people care.
I still haven’t seen evidence that Republicans do care. This is written by the New York times. All the same people who (rightly) care about trump misdeeds care about this too. I don’t understand the original comment I responded to. It’s really easy to read it as “no one should care about this” though
…? So people should be giving him a pass on this? Wtf

I would agree with everything you wrote here but this quote is confusing:

That’s a reasonable question. Election day is coming, so we’re going to find out soon enough.
