Tell me why the US interference in elections is not a challenge to the foundation of democracy but anyone returning the favor is?
"But mom! They did it too!"
If the Russian action is an act of war for all intents and purposes, were our own actions not equally intrusive and wrong? I am not doing the but they did it too. I’m actually trying to point our the hypocrisy of our outrage.
The Bible tells of a lesson along these lines. The summation is to remove the plank from our own eyes before pointing out the speck in someone else’s.
Our outrage would be more moving for the world, as well as our own people if we were not regularly doing the same thing.
That is why some feel humor about it. They figure we had it coming. When our morals are based on might makes right, and if we can get away with it there is no issue, then we aren’t the most sympathetic of victims when the favor is returned.
