No, sorry Yuval, but the both-sides won't fly in this case. On the one hand we have Republicans calling out Democrat lawfare, attempts to undermine and/or pack SCOTUS, undermining election integrity, violating the 1st, 4th, 6th, and 14th amendments, and generally shredding the Constitution. On the other hand we have sitting Democrat Congress members and prestige media comparing Trump to Hitler, ignoring or condoning threats against Kavanaugh and Alito, and talking about the end of democracy.

Knuckleheads like Donald Trump Jr. and plenty of right-wing randos on the Internet say intemperate things on social media that promote confrontation and violence, but they are neither elected nor appointed officials, nor do they hold the most coveted jobs in television and print media. Just because the Left Can't Meme doesn't mean that these things are in any way equivalent.

I finished listening to the rest of the podcast, and it was generally excellent sober analysis by Yuval. Kudos.
