I agree. I love the fbi and anyone who doesn't should go to jail. Trump is bad by the way.

If the right wing latches onto an idea, does that prove the idea is false?

99.99999999% of the time yes

What? Even allowing that all those nines are hyperbolic, at various points in time it was reasonably popular for "right wing" people to be concerned about defending from Russia and biological preparedness. The past few years have shown those to be more than mirages.

OTOH they are switching tunes now that Russia is actually warring.

Now they are starting to both-sides Russia.

In practice the right treated both as hoaxes.

I don't think so, you can find quotes where George W. Bush showed a reasonably good understanding of Influenza pandemics, and Mitt Romney called Russia "without question, our No. 1 geopolitical foe".

I wouldn't call right-wing reasonable it is quite different than Conservative/Republican. Right-wing is the wildly unreasonable distance cousin of Conservatism.

I have no problem with political Conservatism I've even voted for my local and federal politicians a few times and other times Liberal political parties.

And yes the same applies to the political Left. I like to consider myself politically Centrist as best as I can.

That's how credibility works for everyone else, no special treatment
