In much the same way that the right had no use for context during Obama’s term. And the left had no use for context for Bush.
This isn’t my game or our game, it is the game, and it happens all the time. That doesn’t make it any less ridiculous to take a short clip out of context and then trumpet to the world “SEE! LOOK WHAT X SAID”.
Thinking people can recognize it and see what it is. Which is why it’s disappointing to see you do it.
“Showing the entire comment and not just the snipped part you wanted us to see”-splainin’.
You’re not being told what he really “meant.” You’re being told what he really SAID, because you chose not to listen to all of it.
With Trump, it was nearly always the opposite. Trump said words, and it had to be explained what he really MEANT when the words he spoke either didn’t make sense or were just absurd, which was pretty frequently.
It’s actually pretty simple. Progs conveniently ignore the actual “context” of what was said - what was going on in Aug 2020 for example. Then progs ignore the motive.
Each thing progs ignore makes it easier to rationalize the hypocrisy.
“He said he didn’t trust this admin’s process *while they were trialing the vaccine. * That undermines confidence in the vaccine, which of course was the intent in the context.”
“Yeah but it was Trump and Trump sucks!”
Jbiden, Fweedom and Klain all knew very well that Trump was not going to declare the vaccines ready. That it was going to come from the medical bureaucracy.
And they knew that if it wasn’t ok, there would be whistleblowers flying around like bats in a Chinese diner.
