This is where bothsiderism ends. We all get this and understand it. Nixon did not. Bush did not. Bush jr. did not. No one in the White House right now gets this. RFK jr. definitely does not get this.

Both sides are not the same. Republicans don't apologize or concern themselves. They don't feel the pain of others. They fear embarrassment. They don't fear guilt.
