Killing it Caitlin! This is on point, and it's so important to recognize. I feel embarrassed seeing a loved relative doing this very thing. She has been gaslighted into considering the Bushes, John McCain, and the like, as relatively reasonable and decent, when mere years ago she recognized the same warmongers as actually evil. Part of it is just "Well, compared to Trump...", but beyond that, it is the result of the mental gymnastics it takes to remain a loyal supporter of Democrats who are guilty of the same insidious hawkishness and war crimes.
