        Ehh, the article is good, but people get the theme it’s going for already.

        Blaming the person who is reasonable for not covering for the unreasonable person does not make the reasonable person responsible when shit blows up.

        The GOP is playing at “if you just gave me what i wanted, I would stop hitting them” and trying to say that it’s the “not hitting peoples” fault for not giving in.

        Folk aint buying it.

        I read the last 10% because the first 90% was explaining how the AITA subreddit works. Worthless article IMO.

        Also, Democrats NTA. McCarthy was a goon and everybody knew it. That picture of him shaking Cheeto’s hand in the days following 1/6 was all anybody needed to see to know this.

          That’s not really what they’re saying. Instead, they’re saying that it’s obvious which commenters only read the headline.

            Which is due to the headline being phrased in the same way as the commonly used Reddit theme of AITA. It makes it seem as if the OP is asking the question, rather than it being the headline of an editorial.

                  The concept behind am I the asshole is that even though a title can lead people in one direction the explainition may take you in another. All the people who didn’t read the article and instead made snap judges based off a title… YTA
