I don't want to *quote tweet* @MattWalshBlog but I'll quote him this way. he said something amusing (betraying his own fears) but it's also very telling, and typical of the "#conservative" (i.e. #fascist) set:
"The Leftist Rage Mob Turns On One Of Its Own | Ep. 113x"

the *leftist rage mob*. heavens! those leftists (or "woke" folks or whoever) are so *angry*! all the time!
angry people are always wrong; just ask @mtaibbi or @NateSilver538 (or @MattWalshBlog) and they'll tell you: being angry is evil and only evil leftists are angry.

that's part of the doublethinkful game that right-wing people are used to playing with emotions: they can't make up their minds whether leftists are always *angry* or whether they're always weak and crying—but #conservatives are at least certain that *emotions* are bad.

it's leftist or "woke" people who are angry (or crying or whatever), whereas @MattWalshBlog, @realchrisrufo, &c. pretend they're Mr. Spock—calm logical machines, believing only in what's rational and sensible and *sane*. only crazy leftists have emotions, or something.

...and that's a bit of a *hint*. or it should be. I wonder if you notice what the issue is.
it's basically this: @MattWalshBlog &c. want you to believe two things at the same time: they want to pretend they're calm and logical—but also ready to EXPLODE any time.

they want to pretend that they're simply *inundated* with outrages against sanity and civilization, poised at any moment to explode into open violence—which they'd claim was fully justified, the honest patriotic violence of honest patriots (like @ThisIsKyleR's murders.)
(cont'd)

they're *outraged*—and yet only leftists are filled with rage, somehow.
does that mean that whenever @MattWalshBlog is blithering (again) about "castration" and "mutilation" and all the other standard lies about trans persons...his rage is simply *false*? is he acting?

is @MattWalshBlog *not* truly enraged by these things? it's rather difficult to be angry, really and truly angry, at stuff that's not quite real. there's no epidemic of child castrations and mutilations, even if the right-wing propaganda is full of cherrypicked horrors.

(cont'd)
and it's already well-established that child rape does not enrage @MattWalshBlog, so long as it's a Christian doing the raping.
so...is Matt Walsh perhaps simply incapable of rage?
that's not necessarily a good thing. lacking proper emotional responses is...an issue.

well. that's between @MattWalshBlog and his mental health counsellors (if any.)
