"The Right's new fight" HA HA HA HA

This is the funniest and most blatant habit yet of the Left picking a fight out of nowhere and then blaming normal people for waging a "culture war" when they push back.

They do this all the time. It's a standard tactic of totalitarianism. When the Party launches a political crusade, and you resist, YOU'RE the aggressor. If resistance actually thwarts the crusade, you're a monster. If you question the New Truth of the Party, YOU'RE the attacker.

This is happening even faster than I predicted yesterday, probably because the War on Stoves trial balloon exploded in flames while the lefties were still downloading their new programming. They're confused and angry.

You had lefty blowhards on Twitter in the middle of shouting their new War on Stoves talking points yesterday when the Biden administration suddenly backed down. It's like pulling the chip out of a Terminator while it's in the middle of emptying a magazine at Sarah Connor.

Look at how prominent dingbats like AOC played it, with classic Orwellian "we have always been at war with Eastasia" full-steam ahead gusto: We have ALWAYS known gas stoves were dangerous. Everybody knows this. It has ALWAYS been an urgent crisis.

This started a few days ago with a single Biden apparatchik floating a ban based on a fraudulent "study" from a whack-job activist group, but they were told to believe it was some longstanding consensus and THANK GOD SOMEONE IS FINALLY THINKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN.

The only way to salvage that half-downloaded program still bubbling in the heads of so many lefty robots is to concoct a new narrative that says the opponents, the resisters, ATTACKED and are OBSESSED and were probably organized by paid stooges of Big Stove and Big Gas.

It's the same tedious, but far too effective, playbook they use with every social issue, a totalitarian method of shifting the political landscape by claiming every bit of ground you aggressively seize has been yours forever, and those trying to take it back are the attackers.

It's why they worked so hard to successfully bully conservatives away from "social issues" post-Reagan. EVERYTHING is a social issue to the Left, and they're always on blitzkrieg attack. They always paint the resistance as "obsessives" and "reactionaries" fighting "culture wars."

The trial balloon exploding yesterday wasn't the end of it. That's not how totalitarians think. They'll whine about a sneak attack by sinister reactionary forces until they try again. This idea that "everything we think is dangerous can be banned" is too valuable to let go. /end
