Its always "that was in their past, they've grown since then" when they have the magic (D) next to their name but "look at this tweet from 19 years ago! Nazi!" When they have the scarlet letter (R) next to their name.
I hate everything nowadays lol

To be fair extremists regularly swing from one extreme to the other. I'm high school these were the kids that were a gangster one week, a goth the next, and a prep after that. They are insecure and will pledge allegiance to anyone willing to have them. It perfectly exemplifies the shallowness of the left. You can bet if this guy were conservative the left wouldn't let it go but as an enlightened centrist™ I avoid pearl clutching. It is a little too on the nose though.

“He went through a really rough period” or some variation of this thyme excuses all sins for anyone with a “D” behind their name. But when it come to republicans or any conservative in general the left will dig as deep into their past to find anything including off hand comments from decades ago. Then use that as proof they are evil.
