There is a difference between the reasons leftists criticize democrats, which are valid, and why republicans don’t support democrats which usually aren’t. Because the primary reasons to critique democrats are all either worse in the republican party or stem from a lack of sufficient opposition to the Republican Party.
I will construct a simple and over the top analogy. If the most common criticism of mute swans was that they were satanic, if someone said they were anti-swan you might initially assume it was for the stupid reason and disagree. But then if someone clarified it’s because mute swans are a mildly harmful invasive species, you might then agree with them.
The point was you were ready to assume what other beliefs the OP had. And you were going to use that assumption to make your argument for or against the statement you already agreed with. All based on assumptions. And then someone else came and blamed that impulsiveness on a group of people not even involved in said conversation. I understand why you would argue with a MAGA asking the question, my point is to have accountability that assumptions were made and detracted from shared common ground.
