How a combination of class prejudice, linguistic trickery, and straight up cluelessness have ensured suburban leftists remain blithely untroubled by own staggering hypocrisy.
I feel your pain. These fucking signs are all over Ct and Maskachusetts. Of course, Ukraine flags (and their variants with overlaid hearts, peace signs, etc) are the current trend. the ''in this house, we believe.....'' are the most nauseating, tome. Your writing is stellar, btw.
I have to admit, in the time it's been since I've written this post, I've seen a lot of these signs disappearing. Indeed, wife arrived home the other day and first thing asked, "did you see?" I knew immediately what she was talking about - our neighbor had, at long, long last, finally removed his Biden bumper sticker. I know it can be easy to extrapolate these things into something they are now, but given the area that I live, I can't help but wonder what this trend is emblematic of.
As for your kind words, thank you ever so much. I assure you, comments like this legitimately make my day.
i don't follow msm at all, unless it's on a link on this platform, or elsewhere. I haven't had a TV for over 30 years. No newspapers, etc. That being said, I recently read a headline on one of my feeds that the media's bailing on Biden. I guess the lemmings are following their lead, as usual and predictable. Sounds like Alan's the poster boy.
You're welcome...you deserve it. Thanks for the background on Klaus, too! The guy was born for this, obviously. Maybe he'll get the Georgia G treatment soon!
Good for you regarding severing the digital leash; it makes for a much clearer mind. The only reason I occasionally tune into the MSM's bullshit artistry (aside for info on these articles) is to learn what they want me to think. But yes, I think you're entirely right, the establishment is looking for a scapegoat and there literally could be none better than an elderly, incompetent, incontinent, senile moron. I can't see most people buying it this time although that said, I've learned over the last couple years to never underestimate a liberal's capacity to reach whatever conclusions they are emotionally motivated to reach.

Haha, indeed.
JFC, I'm down the rabbit hole with your old posts.
You're hitting on all cylinders with a writing style that is great prose and hard-hitting. Really enjoying it and thank you for sharing.
