Dark does not mean deep.
I'm curious if you can think of examples where progressives have, in the last twelve years, stood up on behalf of conservatives wronged by Democratic officeholders/ appointees. There is, I suppose, an alternative argument that there is no situation in the last dozen years in which anyone can reasonably argue that conservatives were wronged by Democratic officeholders/ appointees, but that would be a stretch.
Sincerely,

Yeah but none of that would be an issue if they had done the only sensible thing and treated the development of a coronavirus vaccine as an international collaborative effort, rather than the current clown show where you have companies from all over the world racing to be the first to market and not sharing anything with each other. Of course the pharma industry here would never agree to that, because they are expecting to be able to profit handsomely from patenting and overcharging for the vaccine like they do for everything else. Of course, if you read between the lines, these hacking allegations are really just a recognition of the now overwhelming likelihood that a Chinese vaccine will be the first to pass trials and hit the market, so a pre-emptive strike of sorts is needed to discredit that effort and preserve big pharma's profits. This sort of thing only works because Americans these days are inclined to believe anything negative about China.
Is anyone concerned that Trump supporters might attempt a violent overthrow of the government if he loses? Think about it. They are well-armed and law enforcement might not be in the mood to stop them. In fact, some police might agree with them.

So, about Householder. Here's an interesting thing:
Makes you wonder if the previous speaker cooperated and sold out Householder.Mr. Householder, 61, who was arrested on his farm east of Columbus on Tuesday morning, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, officials said. He is the second recent Ohio House speaker to be ensnared in a federal investigation, following Cliff Rosenberger, who resigned in 2018 but has yet to be charged with a crime.

DING DING DING! You are correct!
I'm skeptical about that happening. At the end of the day, Trumpanzees are all bark and no bite, those knuckledraggers don't have the tactical knowledge to overthrow a PTA meeting, never mind the government. I worry more about contracting COVID than an unorganized bunch of MAGA hat wearing mouth breathers raising hell.

Trump Wishes Accused Sex Abuser Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Well’ At Coronavirus Briefing
The president was asked about the British socialite during a press conference, saying that he’s met her “numerous times over the years” and wishes “her well, frankly.” I call that code for "Keep your mouth shut, honeybunch if you want a pardon like Roger Stone".

Trump Threatens To Veto Troop Pay Raises To Protect Confederate Names
The White House issued a formal veto threat to the National Defense Authorization Act because it renames Army bases that honor Confederate traitors. Trump wants to protect names of LOSERS from the Civil War. More proof he's throwing bones to his white supremacist base.

It would still be an issue, as the vaccine would still be developed on existing infrastructure designed to protect certain information. Its not like flipping a switch.
There's no indication that information is actually being withheld, so much as it is hackers trying to jump the line and steal untested data
Nothing, that is why he is doing it. He wants to muddy the water from the President of HIS Party acting like a fascist dictator. So he makes up imaginary scenarios about Democrats that have no basis in reality, or some extraneous event about Democrats so he can whatabout. It keeps the conversation from this horrendous act by HIS Party and tries to make us talk about Democrats instead. Please don't play this game with him.
