It just struck me why liberals are always accusing everyone on the left of being bots. They’re tactically motivated and have no problem with there being such a drastic disconnect between actions and words. As long as their politicians say optically acceptable words, it doesn’t matter so much that they’re committing atrocities. What wins elections is good. In fact, I just saw a study showing that 45% of USAmericans prioritize party over ideals.
After being immersed in that mindset for a while, I’d imagine it starts to become difficult to see anything outside that lens, and they probably truly do assume that anyone who criticizes their politicians is being insincere, since from their POV that’s tactically inconvenient to winning elections.
