J.K. Rowling view of politics where good people have negative qualities (humanizing flaws) and bad people have the same negative qualities (character condemnation).
John Bolton is a warmonger (hitlerian), Dick Cheney is a warmonger (troubled past). It’s quasi-religious, these people are redeemed and wash their hand of sin by disavowing Trump even though they may be directly responsible for more death and destruction than the entire trump administration collectively. It’s quite literally the shit people clown on Naruto and (kinda) Steven Universe for, every horrific thing someone does can be redeemed if someone more horrific shows up and they say “oh no I was being bad but this is really bad I’m against this” that’s not how redemption works! Clownish view of rehabilitation! Spiral to the bottom!
