That is a great post that can work for everyone.
The far-right believes it is referring to the left.
The far-left thinks it is about the right.
A small minority knows it applies everywhere.
No, no it doesn't. This isn’t a "both sides do it" strawman argument.
JT is the king of both sides. You show him Jan 6, Republicans submitting false slates of electors to overturn every vote in every swing state, Trump's call to GA to "find me 11,000 votes" and he just mindlessly regurgitates "Democrats do it too!"
I quoted an example when I said it. Republican leadership calling out Harris for saying what we all think about Trump when he's going off the rails every time he gets an audience. If they want to say we need to reign in the rhetoric that's fine, but they need to start with their own candidate.
As I said, those in the far “right/left” think it only applies to the other side.
King? No. But someone that sees that both sides have big warts and hasn’t consumed the kool-aid from either. Yes.
And I didn’t disagree with your example. Johnson and McConnell are certainly being hypocritical callling out rhetoric when Trump does that daily.
This happens all the time. Hence why I said your post worked for nearly everyone.
This is the key, and the problem. Somehow, we now hold the candidate we want to put into a leadership position to a lower standard than the one we don't want.
They are to some extent trained monkeys. They are going to do what their supporters allow them to do.

MTG Warns The Democrats Are Trying It Again, “We Know What Their Play Is— They Want To Steal The Election With People Who Are Not Citizens Voting”.
What is this clueless moron talking about? Trump supporters out of desperation are just spreading false fear porn:Georgia’s Republican secretary of state finds just 20 noncitizens registered to vote out of 8.2 million.
Thirteen former Trump administration officials released an open letter amplifying warnings from John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, that the former president would rule like a dictator if he returned to office. “This is who Donald Trump is,” wrote the 13, all “lifelong Republicans,” according to the letter. “Donald Trump’s disdain for the American military and admiration for dictators like Hitler is rooted in his desire for absolute, unchecked power.”

It’s the classic lesser of two evils dilemma.
I don’t think it’s holding a lower standard for the one we want than one we don’t want.
I think it is deciding which one falls further under our standard when neither one meets it.

If he is running for reelection, voters should vote him out.
