Every few weeks, depending on who the empire is targeting at a given moment, I swing from arguing with liberals about a nation liberals hate to arguing with conservatives about a nation conservatives hate, or vice versa. And they always think they're different from the others.
"Caitlin I normally agree with you, but I don't know what's gotten into you supporting Evil Nation X like this!" they say, firmly believing that they're doing something original and unique.
"THIS Official Bad Guy is different from all the others, Caitlin!" they say. "This one's REAL!"

It's like listening to a serial loser-dater explain that her new boyfriend with the neck tattoo is actually a really great guy.
It's the same script over and over and over again, people. It's the exact same script. The China bullshit it no more real than the Russia bullshit; you only believe it's different because you're looking at it through the lens of fake partisan feuding. Put down that lens and see.
