Have you ever noticed that Democrats are often blamed for everything, even actions taken by Republicans?
This phenomenon can be explained by what is known as Murc’s Law.
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.
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.”
Meanwhile, Republicans escape scrutiny and remain unquestioned, uncriticized, and unaccountable.
Murc’s Law serves to normalize authoritarian behavior while placing the blame on those who are trying to uphold democratic principles.
Do not fall for it; call it out when you see it.

"We’ve noticed a divide with how they’ve been reacting to this possible security breach.
Those most closely aligned with the White House messaging — that this was a one-off “nothing-burger,” as Sen. Markwayne Mullin put it — are focused on how Goldberg accidentally got added to the chat.
Those more open to an investigation, however, have a much larger concern about the Signal of it all.
“The question is, if it was classified information, why were you not using a classified conduit to send it?” Sen. Thom Tillis said.
At least one Republican already had his answer. “To me, the bottom line is: Is Signal secure enough to discuss the type of detailed information that we all know was discussed? And I think the answer to that for me is, no,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said.
