No, I was commenting on the current administration's corruption. I don't think most previous Republican administrations would have tolerated the type of insider trading we have seen from people close to the administration. It goes beyond ideology, turning a blind eye to this behavior among your subordinates is a sign of weak leadership and poor management.

If they’ve been fine with Congress trading stocks on insider knowledge forever why would this be any different?

What proof do you have that there is a difference between the Team Red and Team Blue, other than your not on the team you’re railing against.

For example, given Nancy Pelosi’s effectiveness as an investor, she was effectively a highly successful day trader with a side hustle as a representative of her constituents.

Framing this as a Left v Right, is at best, naive.
