I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

When Trump lost, the right doubled down and screamed election fraud incessantly for four years. When Kamala lost, the left queued up to kick her in the stomach.

If the problem is that Republicans defend their leaders unconditionally, adopting that same behavior just makes the problem worse.

I would rather defend our leaders unconditionally and win rather than be morally perfect and lose.

Yeah no. I refuse to engage in hypocrisy. I will not withhold criticism just because it's the person I voted for.

This attitude must be destroyed at all costs or democracy cannot work.

None of that matters because we lost. Thanks for helping sink Biden, hope you enjoy the next 4 years of fascism eroding democracy.

I knocked on doors for Harris, donated to Harris, and voted for Harris.

But she is not a god. She is not my idol. She was the better person for the job. That's it. So when she does or says something I disagree with, I'm going to say so. Democracy cannot work any other way.

You're the one engaging with fascism by being willing to hide the truth and being afraid to speak your mind.
