White men in their 20's and 30's can do and say anything they want. Women and minorities should shut up and deal with it. Military veterans are given a lifetime free pass. All the far right Christian nationalist podcasters are now fine unless they are 40+. We also owe apologies to any Republican we criticized for past bad behavior, such as 30-something Trump calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5. Racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism, mistreatment of women are all now fine. All this so we don't nominate a popular white woman governor for a Senate seat.
