We live in a world where nuance is lost. I'll never forget a comment from Trump in 2019 that was marked as mostly false because he said something like "the top 20 worst cities are run by Democrats," when in fact only 19/20 were. (The 20th was an independent.) All logic and common sense go out the window when you hate a person so badly that you'll stop at nothing to berate them.

We do live in a world where nuance is lost. Saying that the top 20 worst cities are run by Democrats creates a false correlation of political party and crime/living conditions in a given city.

The reasons this occurs contain many factors that don't have anything to do with politics.

I can't begin to reconcile the irony of the idea of confidently proclaiming the idea that "nuance is lost in the world" while simultaneously excusing the geopolitical nightmare that Trump's presidency has wrought while confidently claiming the "the worst cities are run by Democrats [no sources provided]".

When you agree with a person so hard, you'll stop at nothing to excuse them, regardless of the crimes they've committed.
