The left expects their politicians to lie and they feel like they are in the lie with them. It's ok with AOC if Joe Biden gets up there and drapes himself in the flag. It's actually a calculation. She understand, "I hate the country, I want to dismantle the country, I want to fundamentally reimagine the country. But I understand the rubes and hicks that aren't as enlightened as me need to hear this kind of talk."

On the right, we don't have anything quite like that. If our politicians don't say the things we actually believe, we get mad at them. The left, because they know the media is in the game with them, they can lie directly to all the undecideds and they're perfectly comfortable with it. They face no repercussions. - Michael Knowles
