11. Yes, that's the rule! Never give Democrats the benefit of the doubt, bad motivations assumed.

Only Democrats are responsible, only they are to blame for literally everything bad in America and around the world.

They know the future and have a time machine to go back and fix things, why do they allow bad things to happen? Majorities and minorities and votes don't matter, if they were authentically passionately fighting they could do anything they wanted to! They're incompetent, out-of-touch, spineless, weak, stupid, old, but at the same time a very powerful corrupt establishment rigging both primary and general elections, plotting at any cost to stop progress, more dangerous than Republicans.

Here, too. Misleading headline about a Democrat or the party? Too many rush to repeat divisive hateful insults, conspiracies, age wars, leadership bashing ... never giving the benefit of the doubt and doing a little research. Bad motivations always assumed.
