Nobody advocating "optics" on our side ever says anything about the optics of endless riots in every city all summer being called for, and then cheered on, by democrat politicians...the optics of putting up cardboard block poll watchers and make them stand 60 feet away....the optics of being caught trucking in ballots across state lines...the optics of more votes than registered voters in some areas...the optics of never bothering to campaign and hardly drawing ten people to a local event vs. the guy drawing 30k on a moment's notice nationwide, yet still claiming a win...the optics of never even hearing a case about the obvious fraud we all watched experts' sworn testimony under oath reveal...the optics of the World's De Facto Top Doctor first saying never wear a mask, medically it doesn't work and has unintended consequences, then suddenly flipping and insisting on TWO masks...the optics of scrubbing videos from the Internet that prove a presidential candidate is involved in corruption and other felonies on a mind-blowing scale...the optics of blatantly declaring Joe Biden is an actual, literal white-supremacy racist on the debate stage, then fellating him into the Oval Office as his VP...the optics of etc.

Like masks, optics only seem to work in one direction.
