THE NEW YORK TIMES STUMBLES INTO KRAUTHAMMER’S LAW:
Horrified to learn about this moral vilification of the opposing side, a completely new phenomenon in American politics pic.twitter.com/ni3v145jbg

In 2016, Ben Shapiro wrote: The Left Wins because It Fights Politics on the Field of Morality.
Krauthammer’s Law defines the left’s Manichean worldview thusly: “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil,” Charles Krauthammer wrote in 2002. And viewing someone of a differing ideology as being evil is a very different stance than viewing him as simply uninformed or otherwise somehow misguided.
After a decade of lawfare against him, the left shouldn’t be surprised that Trump adopted a similar worldview along the way.
We were all alive for this speech, you clown. We all remember when Hillary called us deplorable, when Biden called us trash, and how you and your journo buddies called us Nazi insurrectionists and grandma killers and domestic terrorists for years. https://t.co/aJdT89IRBi pic.twitter.com/u8zkCjHJVA
