He was absolutely right, but sadly, it came with unfortunate consequences.

A screenshot of four consecutive tweets from David Roberts (@dvrvolts) posted on November 14, 2023, detailing how different political factions and media outlets use criticism of Democrats as a social or ideological marker. The tweets are overlaid with the text: 'If you're on the right, shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the shared hatreds that make you part of the tribe. If you're on the center-left, shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the above-it-all independence that earns the admiration of peers. If you're on the left shitting on Dems is how you demonstrate the moral & ideological purity that are the price of membership. If you're in the media, shitting on Dems is how you fight off accusations of bias & establish your "objectivity."'
