Setting aside the fact that the media and liberal intelligentsia lionized people who did things like flip off Trump...

Libs have pissed on Middle Americans, their way of life, their politics, their beliefs, for decades. "Our culture" is built on deriding one half of the country
You don't get to bitch and moan about cultural rot while being indifferent to or downplaying the sustained, increasingly vulgar attacks on the Americans who have been placed on "the wrong side of history" by the freaks who have declared themselves on "the right side of history"
Yes, "Let's Go Brandon" is churlish and in some ways inane because it does not translate into meaningful action. But it's a start, and we should hope that a "fuck you" politics continues to manifest itself in ways like, for example, parents chasing out pro CRT educators
This is actually true, and it is one among many reasons I am not a conservative. Why would you choose civility right now? lmao. We need barbarians

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie for our time because it features a man besieged, on the one hand, by criminal scum, and on the other hand by hollow bug men: scheming FBI agents, a cretinous deputy police chief, and parasitic journalists
John McClane places honor and action above justice, when justice is administrated by cowards and bureaucrats
Journos spend the movie trying to control and profit from the story rather than report truthfully, and even cultivate sympathy for the enemy. It's the perfect depiction of journos in our time and it ends with one being punched deservedly in the face for endangering McClane family

Beneath the cringe and dumb politics of Populism Inc (Trump) and Conservatism Inc (GOP establishment) is an undercurrent of radicalism among young right wing people that we haven't really seen manifest politically yet
The important thing going forward is to ensure that radicalism doesn't get jiujitsued and assimilated into dead end grifts but instead is allowed to take on a life of its own
It will have to both infiltrate the GOP and create its own things but it cannot lose sight of the fact that the establishment cannot ultinately be reformed, it needs radical change

Thank you Trump for doubling down in your defense of the humble, the meek, the powerless who do not have a voice: Fauci, Pfizer, and the federal government
Personally I think it's a real sign of courage that Trump didn't hold Fauci accountable for funding the Wuhan lab because Larry Kudlow told him libs wouldn't like it, and instead became a salesman for big pharma and a friend of Fauci
If he had a coherent, consistent message, it would be less detestable. But the wavering, the pathetic flip flopping based on what GOP shills like Kudlow tell him he should say, is pathetic

We went from calls for unity and healing to threatening and vilifying real fast. You're probably going to start seeing violence against people who either aren't vaccinated or are suspected of not being vaccinated as a result.
I'm still not getting the jab though
As MG says, you need to be putting on mass, you need to be getting stronger, these people are sick, they're deranged, you need to be prepared to defend yourself from five, six, twelve, fifteen opponents at once, you need to be getting so big you can't fit through the door

Problem is, we need people who are willing to endure the firestorms of the left for doing the right thing

Here the right thing to do would have been to fire Fauci and put him on trial for his involvement in funding the Wuhan lab. Now we're dealing with the failure to act
Fauci is also an insufferable little nerd who should at least spend the rest of his life in prison
Pros: hold accountable a major villain in what is essentially a civilizational catastrophe with far reaching implications that have fundamentally changed life as we know it for the worse

Cons: the left gets mad

This is more infuriating the more you think about it

Before Darrell Brooks massacred six people, the media declared Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal proof of white supremacy. Brooks' Facebook showed he was well-read on BLM media narratives.

Now it's happening with the Ahmaud Arbery case. Will there be another Brooks type massacre?
Three white men got mandatory life--including one guy who was unarmed and recorded the incident from a distance--but that's not good enough. We need a "cure" for our white problem. Brooks agreed.
There have been zero consequences for the journalists who lied about Rittenhouse, the facts of the case, or the prosecutor who enabled Darrell Brooks to kill. The managers of the American establishment in media and law enforcement are getting people killed with impunity.
