Roll the Tape

When Republicans are caught lying, stealing, taking away people's rights, encouraging violence, and blatantly demonstrating their own treason to their country, they always fall back on the same old meme: Both sides do it.

If that's the case, they can easily prove it by doing the following:

Show me the footage of pro-maskers threatening unmasked schoolchildren on their way to school.

Show me the footage of pro-vaxers surrounding anti-vaxers while screaming "we know where you live!" as they attempt to leave school board meetings.

Show me the footage of elected Democrats inciting their constituents to violence.

Show me the footage of Democrats marching with tiki torches yelling "Jews will not replace us!"

Show me the footage of Democrats deliberately driving their cars into crowds of Republican protestors.

Show me the footage of the so-called liberal media editing a Trump speech to make it appear he said something he didn't say.

Show me the footage of a liberal declaring that Republicans torture and kill babies, and then eat them.

Show me the footage of a Democratic congressman/congresswoman refusing to mask-up or go through a metal detector before entering the Capitol.

Show me the footage of an in-office Democrat outlining their plans to suppress the vote.

Show me the footage of a Democrat comparing public health mandates to the suffering and death of Holocaust victims.

And while you're at it, show me the footage of Democrats attacking the Capitol, destroying the building, beating cops - and wiping their own shit on the floors and walls while they're at it.

Given that we live in an age where virtually everything is filmed - by TV camera crews, professional videographers, and amateurs armed with a phone - such footage should be easily accessible.

So let's see it, Republicans - roll the tape.

of normal people worshiping a Mango Mussolini spouting "alternative facts." How many Democrats jeopardize family and friends' health and lives by ignoring public health warnings and calling a deadly virus a hoax? Excepting Manchin and Sinema, which Democrats want to pollute the air and water for profit? How many Democrats lent aid and comfort to the white supremacists that violated the Capitol on January 6?

The effect is normalize behavior which should be abhorrent to every decent human being and American who loves our country, thereby making it very possible for the Party of Trump to regain control of our federal government.

Or maybe Brian Williams. He is on the way out so would face little repercussion.

Both sides don't, exactly as you have posted. The shills who own the main media outlets are directly responsible for the road which led to tRump. It is amazing how the party of personal responsibility refuses to take any.

For the one about inciting violence they will use Maxine Waters "get in their face" speech. It's not about violence but they will go with that.

This is one of the best threads of the year IMO.

Calling all heavy twitter hitters - #RollTheTape would make a great viral tweet meme.
