Thoughts on the utterly ridiculous Let’s Go Brandon Christmas “scandal.”

A few years ago, I did a satirical fake interview “with” AOC. It was funny & obviously not real. The next day, Buzzfeed, WaPo, & other outlets ran articles accusing me of purposely trying to trick people.

It was hilarious, bc their outrage was fake. They knew it was a joke. They just don’t like jokes at the expense of their Dear Leaders.

Highlighting the absurdity, stupidity or incompetence of their side using irony is effective & is therefore off limits. (Why they hate BabBee)

Of course, journalists are happy with it when it comes to Republicans. You can mock, slander, & threaten The People With Bad Politics all day, & they’ll bark & clap in approval. But The People With Good Politics are beyond reproach.

So now the media are pretending to be actually offended by a dad’s “Let’s Go Brandon” prank call, as if many of them haven’t regularly wished literal death & destitution upon their political enemies.

They aren’t doxing him because they’re offended by the euphemism.

They’re doing it for the same reason that one random dude was doxed for donating like $10 to Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense fund.

It’s because this is what authoritarians do & have always done. They can’t stand dissent, especially the funny kind.

They pretend their offense is based on some moral qualm with disrespecting the office of the president. Or bc it was “too divisive.” Or bc it contradicted the spirit of Christmas. I don’t think I need to explain why that’s so ridiculous. If you lived the last few years, you know.

So, the reason they’re doing this is not because they’re hypocrites. They are actually very consistent in their principle, which is, “Anything goes to take down our enemies, but our guys are off limits.” They’re tyrants. It’s what they do. Merry Christmas!
