What a succinct way of putting it. Tbh I suspect they may have done the same thing with calling the 2020 election "rigged" after the recent allegations about election fraud.
It's only rigged if their guy loses.
Where are the conservative conspiracy theorists who talked about Obama putting us in FEMA death camps? Where were they when we actually had refrigerated trucks full of corpses in NYC?
They blamed a shadowy, undefined "deep state" that was able to morph and change to be blamed for every single thing they felt was wrong with their life that has nothing to do with government.
Now they have brash public unelected officials who publicly do everything they can to undermine the government and it turns out when you can define what these people are doing it's easier to ignore or make excuses for them.
Every accusation is an admission, and diluting meaningful dialogue is entirely the point.
Only good faith interlocutors care about hypocrisy.
Accusation = confession. It seems like it's always true...
they were just jealous
