Look I never said Ms Harris can do no wrong, or trying to justify anything she said, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy on display.

Fair point. I'm sure you have read about internet tribalism:

“It turns out that human beings are not wired to be logical creatures that pursue objective truth.” Rauch notes. “We’re wired to be tribal creatures that try and ingratiate ourselves with our group and improve our status within that group. The way we do that is displaying outrage, anger, and hostility to the other group.”

You won't find many people who aren't solidly locked into their tribe, not on the internet, anyway.

Oh man, this forum actually has a smaller than average collection of Trump bashers. Ever hear of Reddit, Facebook, Instagram? Somethingawful? One of the forums I frequented since 2004, Quartertothree, banned me because I referred to covid19 as "Wuhan flu" and would not apologize for it. That forum has a ton of users and activity, all of it virulently anti-Trump.
There's a forum my gf visits,
Lipstick alley, and the Trump hate is the whole thing.
We have members who laugh at Trump and despise him, but only a few who routinely post. Honestly, I think the ratio here is pretty good. We want guys with opposing viewpoints to keep us grounded.
