I don't think it is anymore. I think partisan intransigence is now thoroughly embedded in the American psyche. I'd be very surprised if the total number of votes for each party shift significantly in future presidential elections.You only need to see how controversies that would have brought down previous administrations and individuals are simply glossed over by supporters on both sides nowadays. It doesn't seem to matter how much and how blatantly they lie and contradict themselves their supporters will still support them because not doing so would mean admitting they were wrong.
But even the "stuff that would have brought down others now doesn't bring them down" has special circumstances. The batshit insane reaction to every single thing Trump does is why he gets away with so much. And no: don't bring up Clinton, don't bring up Obama. People love to do it, love to shout "the tan suit yo!". No. It wasn't anywhere near the level we see with Trump.
The level of insanity was unprecedented. It's hard to imagine this being repeated.

It's not a double standard cuz the right is acting nowhere near as batshit insane over Warren as the left did over Trump. They are not gonna get her elected. She amuses us. We laugh at her.
It is a double-standard as fact and I've noted factual reasons. You ignoring them is just that.
But wait and see if Warren wins the primary, the frothing over her from the Right will be insane. "But she's not even an Indian!!11!" "She wrote a cookbook and it's not her mother's recipe!" x infinity.

You haven't noted any facts. A special kind of insanity surrounded Trump.

It's not just the opposition on either side that's intransigent though. At this point Trump could break into the average Trump voter's house, touch their kids up with his tiny hands, shit in their coffee pot, wipe his ass with their pet dog and leave in their car that he stole after setting their house on fire and they'd still vote for him cos the other lot are the real enemy.
Exact same with the average democrat.

I'd like AOC to break into my house, if you know what I mean.

I know what buttsex is, but since your a social liberal, I figured you would think saying that about women would be disrespectful. Like you did about "grab them by the pussy."
It's a good thing I'm not running for POTUS and not actually boasting about being a real sexual predator.
