the left has been venerating some very flawed people for a very long time. It’s hard to be outraged now when we’ve been selectively told to ignore the past of others.
Name one.
Let’s not forget that Trump is the pied piper candidate promoted by the left to make it easier to win elections....The left celebrated at the time because they assumed Trump would be easier to beat.
This was not true in 2016 or in 2024. Dems preferred Cruz as an opponent in 2016 because he was the one candidate even more disliked than Hilary. In 2024, DeSantis was undermined by Fox News and News Nation...at Trump's urging). Trump was already ahead of Biden in the polls dating back to summer 2023; Democratic leadership would have preferred DeSantis as an opponent because he was extremely disliked even by Republicans outside of Florida (one can't claim the mantle of "family friendly" and "business friendly" when they go to war with Disney, the largest employer in their state) and they would have at least had a shot to retain the presidency.
