• Dems in a Panic

    From Irish Mike@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 28 19:12:57 2022
    The American left has suffered a huge blow losing Twitter
    as an enabling presence. I don't know for sure, but I suspect
    Elon Musk is more conservative than most folks think. Surely,
    he is buying Twitter to combat the assault on balanced discourse
    in the USA. Obviously, the richest person in the world doesn't
    need the money.

    It is the progressive left that fears the exposure of ideas. It has
    always been this way. The communist takeovers in Russia and
    China led to tens of millions of human beings being executed
    because they were suspected of dissent.

    Every communist and theocratic country on earth has attacked
    freedom of expression.

    American progressive zealots aren't violent but have the same
    mindset on expression. And they are howling over the Musk
    business deal. Twitter and other social media silenced Trump and suppressed the Hunter Biden story. Those are two enormous
    victories for the left.

    Now, things may change.

    Liberal policies are hurting Americans and sometimes killing them,
    as our violent cities prove beyond any doubt.

    Inflation and the open border are also harming "we the people"
    as narcotics and migrants flow into America in record numbers.

    Progressives can't possibly defend those disasters but up until Musk,
    they could suppress the truth. So, the liberal crumble is now well
    underway. And we should be grateful.

    No question about it. - Bill O'Reilly, Message of the Day

    What do you call all the laws being passed in conservative states that
    seek to limit what can be said in a classroom?

    The newest target is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to foster
    knowledge, skills, and attitudes across five areas of social and
    emotional competence. The right views SEL as some sort of grooming.

    And history? God forbid that we tell students about the Tulsa race riots
    of 1921 where the predominantly Black affluent section of the city was
    razed to the ground by whites and some 300 Blacks murdered and dumped
    into mass graves. How many Muricans knew anything about that before last
    year?

    No, the only thing that's going to save the Dems at all 2023-2024 is the fact that the Republicans can't get to 65+Sinema+Manchin to remove Biden outright.

    It's one of the reasons I've posited the "binding resolution to revoke consent" rule -- you don't impeach a President you've voided his election on, because, to the incoming Congress, he was never President, so the new Speaker has to become President...

    But, save that, the only thing which is going to keep Biden or Harris in office is the fact they won't get 67 in the Senate to remove him.

    I fully believe they could get 250 in the House and 55 in the Senate, and we are well and truly fucked when they do.

    There is no way the Dems retain either House in the Fall. Biden or Harris should then govern so that, when the fucktards get the Presidency in 2025, all they have left to govern is a smoking fucking crater.

    They think we want to kill America? Then let's kill it and leave them to argue over the corpse.

    Fuck this country.

    The beginning of the end of the public education system in this country, as desired by the American Right, for which it is proven that the stupid vote Republican.

    What the Republicans think we fear on the Left is the exchange of ideas which must result in mass violence against the American Left, as the only defensible and consistent conclusion to the ideas they foster?

    As one example:

    Why has no one just blown up Disney World, if it such this Pizzagate Pedo-Fest that many on the Right indicate it to be?

    If it's "Pedo World", as has been stated by many DeSantis supporters, why doesn't a military operation, under DeSantis and the color of the 2nd Amendment, destroy the place? Level it.

    The only good pedo is a dead pedo, and I think both sides actually would agree on this until you realize pedophilia is basically the gateway to success in this country -- which see two of the Presidents (and, if you believe about Hair-Sniffer Biden,
    three) in my adulthood.

    But you claim to have the right to a militia so you can have your guns (in fact, there's at least one Rethuglipig I've read who actually has said you should have to produce a legally-owned weapon on the polling site to be allowed to vote in the first
    place!), so why would you not declare Disney a military/militia enemy, and level the place?

    And don't give me "because I'd go to prison", because the fact that's what would happen indicates you do NOT have the rights, as a militia, to bear arms, or much of anything else that you claim to.

    It's the same thing about Free Speech, as I said in another article: You don't have it, so just stop caterwauling -- and that's to both sides of the political spectrum. That Congress (and other intermediate parties) cannot make a law strictly
    prohibiting speech does not prevent speech from being actionable under other laws.

    The newest target is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to foster knowledge, skills, and attitudes across five areas of social and
    emotional competence. The right views SEL as some sort of grooming.

    Because "competence" is a dangerous thing to a Republican.

    And history? God forbid that we tell students about the Tulsa race riots
    of 1921 where the predominantly Black affluent section of the city was
    razed to the ground by whites and some 300 Blacks murdered and dumped
    into mass graves. How many Muricans knew anything about that before last year?

    Here's one: How much of the United States actually supported Adolf Hitler, and would've seen to it that the solution to the problems of the Great Depression actually lie in American Nazi-Style concentration camps to eliminate the useless?

    I'm against this. In the real world any teacher that discusses
    these issues with children should just be fired and possibly

    emotional competence. The right views SEL as some sort of grooming.

    I never heard of SEL, but I will read-up on it. My guess is the title of the course has little to do with what is taught. "Emotional competence"
    sounds like some bullshit.

    And history? God forbid that we tell students about the Tulsa race riots
    of 1921 where the predominantly Black affluent section of the city was

    I'm not aware of any laws, policies etc. that prevent the teaching of history. When my children were attending public school, the most studied parts of history was white racism.

    How about this: Don't talk to children about their, or your, sexual proclivities.
    What that has to do with the Tulsa massacre I'm not sure.

    When it comes to censoring teachers, or any other group, it's not the
    right doing it. The reaction to Elon Musk is your guide.
