The death knell of any reasonable conversation is willfully ignoring real time information and context in favor of decades old definitions and arguing semantics. - Me, circa right now.
The NC election was tampered with! They have to re-do it, cause of the verified fraud on the GOP side. Well that really screws the narrative up. THANKS, NC.

The same way Jussie Smollett got lumped in with everything that's wrong with the left? Basically the same sort of reasoning.
Smollett is in Hollywood (liberal), the news and other actors defended him (liberal), cries of people being racist and unfair attacks were used (liberal) and it was reported by the news (liberal). How did he get lumped into the left? Is he a democrat? Was that a politically motivated attack or plot? Nope. But tool on over to the other thread and marvel at the left-itude displayed. Pretty stereotypical, eh?
But when a white, middle class military (sort of we know the Coastie's suck) dude quite literally quotes the president's cute little derogatory nicknames and plans on the slaughter of 100% Dems and what he called "leftists", we have to all handle that with kid gloves and No True Scotsman ourselves to death because he wasn't ACTUALLY a Republican and Republicans aren't ACTUALLY where the preponderance of white nationalism lies today?
Smollett is exactly as much a representative of the left and what's wrong with it as Hasson is an example of the right and what's wrong there.
ETA- Which is to say- either we agree that both aren't, or we agree that both are representative. Or we can quit trying to move goalposts and just get your damn popcorn out, a la
