I'm old enough to remember when Republicans, me included, were screaming that Character did matter when Bill Clinton was running.
Of course, now with Trump MAGA voters, character no longer matters one bit. and the majority will defend Trump as actually being a good person and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
You don't even need to wade in those waters. When Bob Dole said "Stop Lying About My Record" people were aghast at how someone speaking that callously/unprofessionally could hope to be president. That would be a fairly professional presidential tweet in 2026.
And many of Clinton's voters were still old yellow dog democrats. I'm sure they'd be just as aghast at the Democrat party outwardly embracing and admitting to being socialist, not knowing what women, or even supporting things like gay marriage (clinton didn't).
Both parties are so far off the farm it's not the same and can't be compared.
