Yup. Starbuck's relentless concern trolling and #bothsides-ism plays directly into Republicans' plans. They desperately want and desperately need people like Starbuck because they are the ones that ensure the GOP pays no consequences for their behavior. In a world where people say both sides are the same no matter what happens political parties are outright given an incentive to be as bad as possible.
I mean think about it, Trump has admitted on tape to routinely sexually assaulting people and has 25+ people accusing him of various sex crimes up to and including rape. Where's Starbuck about that? Almost nonexistent. Joe Biden gets one extremely shaky accusation and Starbuck is all over it. The #bothsides thing is one of the most poisonous ideas that exists in America today.
Posts like these give the impression that the Partisan Political Concerns override any discussion of the Reade Allegation. You are correct that Trumpists will use this issue to their advantage, I don't think anyone would deny that or even be surprised by that. Hell, any perceived weakness of an Opponent will be used by anyone. The problem with discussing these issues is in assuming that just because your Opponent uses/will use an issue that somehow the issue is Fake News.
