    When has the non-Republican side misused it?

    Feels more like the intention was to muddy the waters.

      No point muddying the waters of the water is already muddy. Sometimes it’s best to look around than straight at the enemy side.

        so do you have a concrete list of names? would be nice to know instead of just being vague all the time

        edit: nevermind, i guess your point is just that the water is being muddied by evil democrats (i don’t understand one bit what you mean by that btw. matt gaetz is the one diddling kids. pointing that out isn’t done out of an irrational hatred for republicans, it’s because he’s genuinely a trash human being who has materially hurt people and gotten away with it despite public knowledge of his actions. the same applies to most other republican public figures. they’re not being demonized, they are demons.)

          Ackshually, being a pedophile and calling out pedophiles is the same thing, because in both cases you’re using the word “pedophile”, Checkmate, liberals!

        Bro pull up the receipts. If dem or progressive politicians are pedos, they deserve condemnation and expulsion (and fucking prison) the same as anyone else.
