#the simplest and most likely explanation is that he used to be a democrate and now he is a republican

Something I have been thinking about a lot recently is that people on the right and left doing the exact same thing while simultaneously calling out the other side for doing it and having some kind of cognitive dissonance that lets them believe that they are not doing anything wrong.

A couple examples of this, when the trump assassination attempt happened we got two pieces of information 1. He once donated $15 to a democratic political organization and 2. He was a registered republican. That's all we know. But people on the left are claiming (with no proof) that he lost a bet and that was why he donated and people on the right (with no proof) are saying.. that he registered as a Republican so he could vote in the primaries and mess up the results? That is a genuine thing people are saying.

The amount of people you would have to organize in order to actually have any effect on the outcome of a primary is so large I don't know how people are saying this with a straight face.

Then again with the assassination attempt you had people on the left saying things like "we almost got him" and "better luck next time" and people on the right saying how disgusting that is but when nancy pelosis husband was attacked in his home you had trump himself mocking the man for being attacked. And I haven't looked into it super hard the people on the left who were celebrating but I did see a few posts like showing people who celebrated but they were all random Twitter accounts? I'm sure there must have been some left actual politicians who did but I thought it was weird being like "look at these leftists celebrating the attempt" and it's all random people on Twitter? Meanwhile tons of right actual politicians are celebrating political violence against Pelosis husband.

I just don't understand how people can call out the other side for doing something they themselves are doing. If you know of any more examples of people doing this I would love to see it!
