My take is a lot simpler, if you stand up for principles that you have believed in your whole life, like equal opportunity for all, free speech, and respect for people to choose political sides, you will be attacked relentlessly, labeled names that are alien to you and fear for you job and learn to fear the vindictive nasty hate fueled mob that the modern progressive social radicals from the left.
You see it everywhere, Dershowitz is one example, he spoke out on principle, something he believed in all his life, as a liberal that there should be cause to investigate a person and that a state using the logic of âshow me the man and I will find you the crimeâ was a terrible authoritarian and almost 3rd world type of practice. He has been eviscerated by other left leaning proponents for his standing up for his principles.
Not the adjective I would choose. Sad, pathetic, desperate and my new favorite adjective unethical. because I am beginning to believe those pushing the progressive left agenda, donât care about facts.
There was some kid who had his MAGA hat taken from him, then a drink thrown in his face and a few obscenities, and there are people who say âhe needed to take responsibility for his actionsâ i.e wearing that cap justified the 30 year olds reaction.
If you think like this, then you are on the wrong side of history.
I chose comical. It is satire, but the point is it is so sadly quite indicative of the consensus that prevails âŚand the Left keep moving further and further left . Memes abound and have become expressions of the political climate. Disclaimer: all memes posted may or may not be true. There are just as many "Trump â satirical memes. Take them all with a pinch of salt.
So⌠still complete and utter malarkey. Understood. But at least it feels true to you, and I guess thatâs the most important truth of all, isnât it? The one that isnât true but could be if it wasnât complete bullshit.
Tell us again about how everybodyâs being so unfair to Trump.
Ahhh, so you are implying everyone is being fair to Trump? Understood.
I am trying to convince the USA to support Trump. The only person who may actually support Taiwan . I wish he would have given exemption re: Tariffs ,to us.
Some people hate Trump as the enemy. Some people look to Trump as their deliverer. Thereâs something pathetic in both stances.
Trump doesnât look to anyone on earth as his deliverer. And heâs entitled to have enemies because he selects his enemies wisely. He always picks fights with those who seem strong but are actually weak.
Look to the Orange One, not as a savior, but as a role model. The last commandment: thou shalt win bigly.
The trouble with Taiwan is the whole place is too damn insecure and needy. Taiwan needs to establish and hold its own frame, or it will never be respected.
By your measure, with that supposed âmemeâ that you totally knew was made of fake quotes, theyâre being more than fair to Trump. At least most of his coverage is based on dumb stuff heâs actually said and done, perhaps embellished or with a twist. That sits in contrast with, you know, completely fabricated and made up quotes.
I know people in this forum have drunk the trump coolaid something fierce but youâve got to see the problem here, right?
Shia, seriously, I like a good political satire too, but if that were intended as satire it wouldnât have the completely serious introduction and conclusion. Itâs almost like a satire of originalist hysteria, as in âthese guys are so pathetic, they even expect their followers to fall for it â and they do!â
Wow, after decades making millions of friends and zero enemies, Alan canât persuade Laptop Man to change his worldview, and some nameless woman in Marthaâs Vineyard wants to kill him. Totally shocking. Being Alan right now must be, like, the worst thing in the world.
Do let me know when CNN (that bastion of âleftismâ ) stops paying him.
My take is a lot simpler
So what it really boils down to is
I still see some value in IP here, but itâs getting awfully repetitive.
Itâs getting repetitive because despite half a dozen posts, you still donât get Im not talking about the left. I consider myself a lefty. Alan wasnât talking about the left, he made that exact point in the video I posted, he identifies with being from the left. yet look at you imaginary conversation above, I am at the point of seriously wondering if it is possible people deliberately canât understand or if they are deliberately being obtuse.
Itâs this re-framing of the discussion that seems to confuse yyy. Up till now I believe his frame of reference was that those opposing the more radical social programs coming from a particular block were Alt-Right.
The new re-framing is that those in opposition are not just Alt-Right or indeed everyone on the right, it is also getting push back from liberals.
The new frame is one where they are the radicals and extremists, not the other way round.
Im a Southern California LIBERAL, Legal IMMIGRANT and now Trump Supporter. For me it started before Trump when I first detected something dubious with the Media before the election.
Lots of California Liberals support Trump including Hispanic and other minorities such as myself too. I personally know several, but youâll never see that balanced perspective on majority of MSM as it doesnt fit their division/Hate narrative. They want to dumb the discussion down to GOP vs DNC as always instead of acknowledging both parties have corrupt long Establishment politicians which collude with MSM
) stops paying him.
