actually you should have said ASSUME TWO THINGS.
I reject both assumptions
There is nothing to have to assume. It was all fact:
- Russia
did interfere.
- Russia
did want Trump elected.
- Trump
did defend Putin against America.
- Trump
did provide Putin a year's worth of unchallenged pipeline diplomacy as far as Western Europe.
- Trump
did betray the Kurds and the American troop by handing the territory over to Russia's influence.
- Trump
did betray American democracy and its integrity by asking Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.
- Trump's National Security Advisor
did betray his uniform and country again by calling upon the military to implement sedition in order to suspend the Constitution.
- The right-wing is actively denigrating Biden's wife for her doctorate, accusing her of pretending to be a medical doctor. Clearly, the ignorant game begins.
This is all widely understood fact and all clearly documented. Your rejection is only about a partisan's need to avoid facing what you so clearly support. It's called denial. You support a traitor and his treason. You also support the gutter tactics of the right-wing to viciously attack and exaggerate everything into a false political rallying cry against "the other." Birth certificates! Tomato paste! Benghazi! PizzaGate! Virus hoax! QAnon! Election fraud!
See what I mean? In the absence of any real surviving ideology and the absence of an actual reason to criticize, the right-wing merely invents a reason for you to cling to. So far, with Biden, it's the lie that his wife pretends to be a medical doctor. Given another three years of professional study, I could be a doctor. But before this attack on his wife's education, the right-wing provided you all the routine "communist and socialist" nonsense to guide your irrational hate.
Ultimately, the need to exaggerate Biden, and to attack, comes down to only trying to defend what you and others have blindly supported for four years. If you can make Biden look just as bad, no matter how much you have to exaggerate and lie to do it, you exonerate yourselves in your own easily manipulated minds. After all, with over half the Republicans in this country still believing that Obama is an African-born Muslim as late as 2017, the need to be manipulated away from taking responsibility for poor behavior is apparent.
