Never Forget Who Democrats Are, Hold Them to Their Own Standards

Those people at family gatherings who can't stand your existence, the people who know who don't show up to weddings, funerals, memorials or holidays are not busy - decent people prioritize the personally important over the political. Democrats can't.
The article by Derek Hunter, published on Townhall.com, criticizes Democrats for what he perceives as their hypocrisy and selective application of standards. Hunter argues that Democrats often demand accountability and adherence to certain principles from others but fail to apply these same standards to themselves. He points out instances where Democrats have allegedly ignored or downplayed issues like corruption, election integrity, and free speech when it suits their political agenda. Hunter emphasizes the need to remember these behaviors, especially in light of upcoming elections, and insists that Democrats should be held to the same standards they set for others. He calls for a consistent application of justice and accountability, regardless of political affiliation, and warns against forgetting these actions when considering political support or opposition.
