I have found the “both sides” finger-pointing is just as harmful. Many times it’s used to squash or impede honest discussion. It’s an online tactic to shut down constructive criticism of one’s own political party. Neither the Democratic Party or Republican Party are infallible. Both do have faults and some of those faults intersect in a Venn diagram. With that said, as an Independent of about three decades MAGA has essentially turned me into a full-blown Democratic voter.
