People on both sides would be infinitely better off if they stopped pretending like they are the ones with some kind of high moral ground with this stuff.
Better way forward would be - “I am an ass, you’re an ass, forget about it - let’s go get a beer”
Don’t know if you are old enough for this one. GWB was giving a class to elementary school children on 9/11/2001. Someone came up and talked to him for a few seconds while he was talking to the kids. For a brief moment he was obviously confused over what was going on about what they were telling them, as were most people. The left had a field day picturing him being confused in front of those kds. Michael Fats even put it in a movie.
Get off that high horse.
