The left always have lofty moral reasons for doing things that are completely outrageous, things that, if done by the right, the media would be screaming about. Just because Biden said during his campaign that governing by executive order is dictatorial, that doesn’t mean he’s being a dictator. No he’s just correcting policy. /sarcasm And the Ministry of truth media nods in agreement.
