Ember CollectiveHave you ever noticed that Democrats are often blamed for everything, even actions taken by Republicans?<br> <br> This phenomenon can be explained by what is known as Murc’s Law.<br> <br> It reflects the dangerous belief that only Democrats have political agency, as if Republicans are merely reacting to Democratic actions like toddlers lacking self-control.<br> <br> Under Murc’s Law, every decision made by the GOP is attributed to the Democrats. People say things like, “They provoked it,” “They didn’t stop it,” and “They failed to compromise.”<br> <br> Meanwhile, Republicans escape scrutiny and remain unquestioned, uncriticized, and unaccountable.<br> <br> Murc’s Law serves to normalize authoritarian behavior while placing the blame on those who are trying to uphold democratic principles.<br> <br> Do not fall for it; call it out when you see it.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MurcsLaw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MurcsLaw</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PoliticalAccountability?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliticalAccountability</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DoubleStandard?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DoubleStandard</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MediaBias?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MediaBias</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PoliticalTheory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliticalTheory</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DemocracyUnderAttack?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DemocracyUnderAttack</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Authoritarianism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GOPAccountability?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GOPAccountability</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FalseEquivalence?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FalseEquivalence</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BlameGame?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlameGame</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CallItOut?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CallItOut</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CivicLiteracy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivicLiteracy</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ProgressiveVoices?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProgressiveVoices</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EmberCollective?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EmberCollective</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AntiFascistEducation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiFascistEducation</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ResistAuthoritarianism?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResistAuthoritarianism</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Disinformation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DemocracyDefense?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DemocracyDefense</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PoliticalNarratives?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliticalNarratives</a><br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HoldThemAccountable?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HoldThemAccountable</a>
