Hunter Biden’s lawyer filed an ethics complaint in the House of Representatives on Friday against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for reaching a “new level of abhorrent behavior” after she displayed sexually explicit pictures of him during a hearing Wednesday.
oh you’re right in that this serves an overall strategy they call “flooding the zone”, which is where you try to make your actual hideousness seem equivalent to your opponents in order to encourage people to just check out of politics. In 2016 one of Trump’s key campaign strategies was getting Clinton voters to stay home on the idea that “they’re all the same anyway, what does it matter?” But the fact is liberals do care, and they want to see justice done. Hunter Biden has been charged with federal crimes and plead guilty, and there’s no liberal backlash because he did that shit. They tried this with the Epstein plane too. They were like “But Bill Clinton was on the plane too” and most people’s reaction was “he can have the cell next to Trump’s”.
They don’t need an overall backlash though. They just need some people to do it, even in this thread there’s a bunch of people doing it. This then becomes all the evidence that people in the other tribe need to believe it on the whole as a widespread thing.
