Man... its really FUCKING weird when Hannity is the one stepping into the argument to try and create some common ground lower the temperature!
Dersh and West are good friends and colleagues from everything I know, the way this subject puts them at odds is actually pretty brutal.I can see this little puppet show that went along here being a PRECURSOR to a FIERCE DIVISION of the ENTIRE LEFT over this issue. The way they barked back and forth at each other feels like a signal to me...
Dersh is usually pretty good at removing his emotions from his analysis of the case; but its obvious he's having a hard time doing so here. Also: is he wearing a WRIST BRACE? MAYBE HE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE BIDEN THAT BIG OLD PURPLE MARK ON HIS FACE!?!? Hah!
The other thing I'll say is that while I'm not big on Cornel West (too flowery with the language, starts out with positions populists could support but gets derailed by race & equality considerations, says a lot of nothing and doesn't have a REAL stance oftentimes) although I do recognize he is very intelligent and among the small number of ACTUAL liberals that are still around. I think he has some valid points here - and his response about what he would do as President was actually pretty solid! For whatever else I might not like about him, he DOES speak his truth, and he is NOT bought and paid for - his best work was letting everyone know that Obama was a paid spokesman for the financial system and the banks.
He's not wrong about this.
Those cartoons they showed were pretty heartbreaking. But we should probably ask ourselves if we are living in a place that is far off from that kind of indoctrination when you turn on Sesame Street and Elmo is stating his pronouns.
I think since the latter half of 2021, through the disastrous midterms in 2022 and up to now with the unprecedented ousting of Kevin McCarthy, all of this was about EXPOSING THE RINOS and setting them up for removal by the MAGA posse. Its pretty clear from the 45 second break in Trump's speech at 47 Club last night, where they gave an ovation to MATT GAETZ, that the RINOs have ALMOST TO A MAN become EXPOSED TO THE NORMIES AND THE MAINSTREAM.
Could it be, JUST MAYBE, that this conflict and the fallout yet to come from it could be a shift in the narrative, and now we are going to hone in tight on the Democrats and expose them as members of the UNIPARTY?? I know you are sitting there going NO SHIT THEY ARE EVERY ONE OF THEM IS AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT, YA DUMBASS!
But actually that's not true. There are STILL a few good natured folk out in Wisconsin or Missouri who are riding a tractor 60+ hours a week when they aren't driving leftovers and clean laundry back to the kids at college, and so on - who are STILL (Yes still) Democrat voters. They don't have much interest or time for politics and never have - they vote the way their parents did, like it was a sports team. Not many of them left but they exist. They might have some animus with Trump from ONE thing they saw in 2017 (like Charlottesville, which they STILL bring up and use)
Then of course you have the low information young people/college votes, who are fast becoming a quite significant share of the tally (if our votes actually were counted properly, or mattered AT ALL) and are continuing to be courted via TikTok ads and such by the Dems. Abortion is their MAJOR issue, its STUPIDLY IMPORTANT to these fucking libertines. Chances are everything they know about HAMAS and ISRAEL is from the same professors who have explained to them that TERMINATING A PREGNANCY up to ONE YEAR AFTER BIRTH is a normal and TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE thing... PRACTICALLY A PART OF NATURE in fact.
Something like this could drive a MAJOR WEDGE between the TWO TYPES of ACTUAL Democrat voters that I just described. Make no mistake, while the Dems have reveled in the chaotic NONSENSE the Republican party has been mired in since they gained back some ground and partial leadership in our government, they are JUST AS FRAGILE and IN DANGER of being EXPOSED as CORPORATE WHORES AND UNIPARTY ACOLYTES as the RINOs are/were.
This conflict could be the fault line which, now exposed for all to see, creates a seismic shock within their ranks that is impossible to recover from, or be spun by the Mockingbirds as a Republican fever dream/night emission. ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£
I think the argument seen here serves as an outline for just how it could happen at a larger scale. No one will be spared the judgement coming; or, to phrase it another way, Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.
