Two ways to look at recent Democrat criticisms of violence:

Two ways to look at recent Democrat criticisms of violence:

1) hypocrisy: They saw it was hurting them in the polls, so they started criticizing it and trying to hang it on the GOP.

2) Delusional honesty: the riots are not violence, but people defending property or Trump is.


They can both be true, I guess.

But let's look at the evidence for the latter.


Biden denounced violence, said Trump never has.

Biden also didn't mention BLM or Anti-FA*. 

*Anti-FirstAmendment

Well, Trump has never denounced Kyle defending himself or the paintball conservatives going into Portland.

Biden has. Cuz that's the only thing he sees as violent.


The Left sees what they call as Justified Violence as Expression. They see anyone criticizing their Justified Violence as Expression as violence.

Remember "Silence is Violence"?

Their violence is expression.

Normie expression is violence.

They *believe* this.


Based on their formulation and view, the only violence that needs to be condemned is Ritterhouse and the conservative caravan that drove into Portland.

Even the guy that got executed by Anti-FA* was the violent one, so he should have expected execution.


Anyway, I think you can find plenty of examples if you look for it.

Does it matter? Probably not.

But calling them out as hypocrites isn't really going to work, because they have a paradigm of consistency.


It might work better to call out their definition of violence.

*Might*.

I mean, it won't work on the Left. They are toddlers in the middle of a tantrum, logic/reason will have no impact on them.


But maybe understanding and explaining to fellow norms how the Left actually thinks and reasons will help them to not fall for Leftist delusion.  To convince them that no, you can't go back to voting Democrat if chaos subsides.


The *truest* aspect of this video is how despite the Left obviously being insane and a complete asshole, everyone still seems to give the Left every benefit of the doubt and the default is to *want* to associate the Left.

How Internet Politics Look to Normal Humans


It is important to defeat the Left political right now.

The only way out of this cycle of Leftist violence, this incipient revolution is to hand them a series of crushing political defeats.


But we can't beat them if everyone goes back to supporting them the second they start pretending to be normal again.


An important part of the task we have ahead of us is to educate moderates and Low Info Voters of how the Left actually sees things.

How they actually excuse their own violence as not even being justified.


And how, every time they talk about "our" "us" or "we" in relation to the nation is 100% true, and based on the intent to have any and all dissent silenced, in concentration camps, or dead.


The key to that is *understanding* them.

Anyway, that's the tweet thread.


Addendum: Because they need a paradigm that allows them to be okay with family members being killed or sent to concentration camps.

they may be sad, but their regret will be that they weren't able to get through to you, not that the State killed or imprisoned you.

The Real Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger

Image
It's not "ego." It's a claim that you encounter a lot—an insult really—that people are buying bigger and bigger trucks to compensate for… something. Here's one particularly cringeworthy example, because the person making it doesn't seem to realize the go-kart he's praising doesn't meet US emissions standards.  whenever americans say that they *need* a massive pickup truck that gets 12mpg just show them the Subaru Sambar utility vs. ego pic.twitter.com/NqexDbQcok — sam (@sam_d_1995) May 11, 2022 In response, a lot of people will defend their big truck purchase by saying they need a larger vehicle for their family, their business, or just because they like it. And to an extent, market forces are partly responsible for the increase in truck sizes, particularly when it comes to features like crew cabs. But it turns out that even a lot of people who like the big trucks don't know the full story of how their trucks got so big. The rest of the story

Romney’s Pro-Life Position Not So New

Also: Say hello to the “Sev-Con” There’s a NYTimes article out over the weekend that is all the buzz today. The pull-quote du jour is by former Mitt Romney strategist Mike Murphy, who told National Review in 2005 that Romney "is a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly." The preferred pick-apart is that this proves Romney will say and do anything to get elected. And, I admit, it certainly sounds damning. If nothing less, it was a poor choice of words. But this is old news. At the time Murphy issued a statement saying he had been misquoted. I’d say the facts support Murphy’s side of the story. The Times article tries to make more ado about Romney’s pro-life journey than there is. In 1994, when he ran against Ted Kennedy, he did not shy away from his personal opposition to abortion but positioned himself by saying “my personal beliefs, like the personal beliefs of other people, should not be brought into a political campaign.” He lost that race. In 2001, Romney e

The Gaffe that Almost Wasn’t

The smear campaign against Cain continues   By now the internet, radio, television, and wagging tongues everywhere are all abuzz over the latest campaign blunder by Herman Cain. But is it really the gaffe everyone says it is? Or was it a selective editing job a la Ed Shultz ? Well, call me cynical, but I’ve seen enough media shenanigans to be suspicious of anything taken out of context and this definitely tripped my radar. In the clip that has gone viral (below), Cain does appear to be caught off-guard by a question on Libya, a topic he ought to have been ready for. My first reaction was to wonder how many clips like this land on editing room floors instead of online. In a world used to hyper-slick video and equally slick candidates, a moment of thought gathering can seem disastrous. Still, this isn’t about a some candidate’s “senior moment.” Rather, it is about a hatchet job gone awry. This clip was released by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel along with the entire half-hour interview
