There is a third option, which is a right wing strategy im seeing more and more:

They cherry pick.

Basically when someone says the rest of the republicans are fine, they might mean there are a couple that are normal in isolation.

This tactic works the other way too. When they criticize the left, it’s the small, loud minority that are much easier to debate (with a cherry picked audience).

I have never, ever, heard a right wing person criticize or attack things like worker rights, consumer rights, or desiring equality. They know they can’t. They only pick battles they can win and extrapolate from that.

That projecting and strawmanning have carried their party since forever.
