This is an American phenomenon as well. It was a little more subtle a decade or do ago, but it's hit a high gear recently and it's appallingly two-faced in it's judgement.

I noticed it for the first time when Obama came to power. He had run on the anti-Bush platform in that he'd reverse the Patriot act, get us out of Iraq, and bring us back to a sense of normalcy not felt since 9/11.

When Obama did none of those things, a good chunk of the people that you saw crying at protests and held signs saying "no war for oil" and "Bush is a war criminal" just stopped caring about whatever Obama did.

Obama expanded NSA powers? Cool, I've got nothing to hide

Obama isn't going to withdraw from Iraq or Afghanistan? Cool, whatever. They are like on Mars or something, doesn't affect me.

Obama cracks down in whistleblowers? Meh, they were endangering Americans overseas or something, whatever.

The list goes on in a way that we are most assuredly used to with Biden-Trump comparisons.

Trump could barely take a shit without 15 different hot takes stating that this is the proof positive that Trump wants to kill all the Mexicans. Biden can literally fuck up on anything and gets a full pass.

Ultimately, I think the media has conditioned a large segment of the population to just believe that a democrat as president is just the "right" thing and that if Republicans do well at anything it's an aberration that needs to be scrutinized on every possible detail.

I say this because of an NPC that I know of. Under Trump, the guy was mainlining CNN everyday, he was proud that he watched a minimum of 5 hours a news a day, all in order to "fight Trump." Now, he's super proud that he doesn't feel the need to watch the news all day because he doesn't mind whatever Biden is doing, "because he's probably doing the right thing anyways."

You can't reason with people like that. There is no, "a-ha! Biden fucked up and did xyz that you complained that Trump would do, but never did" with them. They do not care. A democrat is president, so everything must be normal and decent now.

So now a democrat can do all the horrible things that they said Trump was going to but oddly never did and a good portion of the people that slammed Trump for eating 2 scoops of ice cream are shrugging their shoulders at American soldiers being killed in terrorist attacks, lopsided vaccine mandates that disproportionately affect minorities, Biden's on-camera fondness of little children, a crackhead son who searches for crack in his carpets and mistakes parmesan cheese for more crack, runaway border crisis, rising uncontrolled inflation, and a struggling COVID strategy that's wholly out of line from what was promised during Biden's campaign.

And the nicest response you'll get when bringing this up is a "meh, whatever".
