Ah yes, the classic “It’s YOUR fault we’re acting like irresponsible children” argument we’ve heard so many times before
TRUMP: (says or does something insane)

DEMS: Jesus, that guy’s an idiot

FOX: THE DEMOCRATS THINK YOU’RE ALL IDIOTS!

GOP: Just for that, we’ll vote for Trump even harder

DEMS: But

NYT: Stop being so condescending, Democrats

TRUMP: (says or does something insane)
There was a Politico article last year which consisted of interviews with multiple Trump supporters in attendance at a Michigan gun show; it featured numerous permutations of this same observation: ⬇️
The body of the NR article suggests that vaccine advocates would be more successful with skeptics if they toned down the alarmist rhetoric & acknowledged when CDC was wrong. Meanwhile, an ad within the article illustrates perfectly why most good-faith efforts are doomed to fail:

I’m wondering which of your unspoken premises is less grounded in reality:

1. That Trump would do the right thing and urge his followers to become vaccinated

2. That there is a pro-vaccine message that would resonate with the “THE GOVERNMENT CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!” crowd
Listen to the backlash against Dr. Fauci if you seriously think there’s a better technique for Telling Trumpers What They Don’t Want to Hear
As a counterexample, remember that Trump was an early advocate of hyroxycholoquine, a malaria medication that was only experimental in the treatment of the Coronavirus. The CDC never endorsed it (and warned of risks), but MAGAts were bullish because it was fully backed by Trump.

THIS JUST IN: Dreamweasel Inexplicably One of World’s Wealthiest Men. Also: Moon Gone

PUBLIC: Hmmm... there is nothing suspicious about this at all
BOB: So where’d you get all that money?

ME: (wearing top hat & monocle) What money?

BOB: That swimming pool filled with thousand-dollar bills you’re building for your “Scrooge McDuck” party

ME: Oh, THAT money

BOB: yeah

ME: Er, I just invested wisely
BOB: Does this have anything to do with the moon being gone

ME: What are you suggesting

BOB: Well, it seems like an interesting coincidence

ME: What kind of crazy conspiracy would lead you to such a ridiculous conclusion

COURIER: Where should I park your new Lambroghini, sir

You can’t just reclassify Facebook & Twitter as “government entities” because reasons
The “Big Tech” boogeyman is clearly intended to facilitate this confusion, but no.

Facebook & Twitter are simply the end result of the “free markets” conservatives have supported throughout our entire lives.
I also will note that Trump refrained from filing his lawsuits against Facebook & Twitter until AFTER his competing forum (by which I mean “blog”) crashed and burned.

R: We authorize the Anti-CRT Task Force to remove all tigers from American neighborhoods

D: That seems alarmist

R: You’re pro-tiger?

D: No, but there are no tigers in our neighborhoods

R: Then why is our task force a problem? HUH?

D: sigh

R: (points at cat) Look! A tiger
D: That’s not a tiger; that’s a kittycat

R: Yes, but it has genetic similarities to tigers in its DNA

D: That doesn’t make it a tiger

R: You can’t be too careful! How can we subject our children to such a dangerous menace?

CAT: mrowr?

R: Quiet, you Marxist
R: So there are clearly tigers present in millions of homes, provided that a “tiger” is whatever I say it is

D: That sounds dishonest

R: Anything to avoid traumatizing our children

D: Why not just say that you’re coming for our cats

R: Surprisingly, people find that divisive

Isn’t the entirety of modern conservatism based on inventing largely imaginary culture-war grievances so you can disingenuously claim you’re “punching back” at liberals
I mean, the GOP regularly claims to be “fighting back” against...

- critical race theory
- transgenders in public restrooms
- rioting, looting, etc

And of course, the rigged & corrupt election that inexplicably ousted the most unpopular President in American history from power.
I could go on...

- “cancel culture”
- a noun, a verb, Hunter Biden
- the Orwellian dystopia of mask requirements and vaccine passports to compensate for Dr. Fauci’s massive coverup of the sinister Chinese origin of the Coronavirus, which incidentally was no worse than the flu

FOX & FRIENDS

KILMEADE: Our report on the border will resume in a moment, but we have a late-breaking report: college student Jeremy Fudgeknuckles posted on Facebook that he believes “all police officers are poopyheads”

DOOCY: My God

KILMEADE: The Left is simply out of control
HANNITY: All decent Americans are aghast & horrified at what Leftists like Jeremy Fudgeknuckles are saying about our brave men in uniform

CARLSON: Is Jeremy Fudgeknuckles the new voice of the Democrat Party?

DEMS: It was one guy

CARLSON: We can only conclude that yes, he is
INGRAHAM: The Democrats have sunk to a new low

MAHER: This only proves that the woke left is out of control

LEVIN: THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY THE POLICE!

DEMS: Nobody knows who this guy is

DOBBS: Not for long
