Why do Democrat supporters keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I've to remind them of their leader's illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

i guess not all democrat supporters are historians. we had biases taught at a young age with social studies and stuff. and it's easier to compare presidents to past ones. kinda why conservatives default cheer trump cause he's 'better' than biden obama etc.

like trump basically started a war, and by the time alls said and done. we're way too busy doing damage control, reparations, complex PR and stuff. it's not forgotten but we work on the present.
