I'm sorry about the absence. I made a major change in location and, of course, there were unexpected circumstances that made things more difficult. But here we are and things haven't gotten any better.
Let's look at someone who a lot of conservatives - and libertarians - worshipped in the age of Trump. His defense of Trump from the complete sociopaths on the Left - Democrats and Libertarians - was admirable and remarkably nuanced. But, since he wasn't from the Right, he was bound to show his true colors. I'm sure most of you know the Dilbert guy:
Talk about not being able to read the room. And this guy is supposed to be brilliant? There are a couple things to notice here. First; since this guy was mostly followed by Trumpers, and presumably still is, it goes to show how low on the list of priorities border control has become. My next point will go further but I would assume most lefties, who see Trump supporters and people on the Right in general as hard-core ideologues, would be dumbfounded by this poll. Which brings me to my second point.
The Left takes it as a given that the Coronavirus is going to kill us all. So, when they see their enemy choosing to set aside the border control policy they have used to label them as Nazis, and embrace the āanti-vax" position they see as anti-science and pro-murder, the Left must embrace the position that their enemies are truly the barbarians inside the gates. If that's a given, posts like this are not surprising:
This is the mind of the Left. If my enemy is questioning an experimental treatment for a virus that has an over 99% survival rate, they must be bringing the collective IQ down. How quickly they turn into someone they despise, such as Charles Murray. Not to mention, when you take into consideration that only 26% of Black Americans have chosen to get jabbed, you have to wonder what the thinking is here. I often make fun of conservatives for making the tired argument on Twitter that the Democrats are the real party of racism because I know that tactic changes no one's mind. But the whole stance of the Left can be defined as not believing āminoritiesā are as intelligent or industrious as those with a lighter complexion.
Once again, I'm here to remind you that we are at war. And the enemy constantly shows us who they are, and what they would force us to do if we cede an inch. Right now Scott Adams is bargaining. I predict that will become a demand as more propaganda is released. I don't know about you, but I've been at the āfuck youā stage for going on 18 months.
That poll is particularly funny because he likes to say that about 25% of people polled on any topic well give the obviously wrong answer.
Glad to see you back Pete.
