Liberalism in 2021

Liberals say the person on the left is an inspiring, glass-ceiling shattering woman.

The woman on the right, they say, was elected by white supremacists and is a foot soldier of white supremacy.

If that all makes perfect sense to you, you're a democrat. If you think that's bonkers, you're a republican.

To be settled in 2022. I'm liking our chances.

Don’t worry Jim, Marco Rubio is begging for money, claiming that Val Deming is a radical.
OK

your best, most effective response to my post, the best comeback you could think of, is that a republican politician is asking for money. That’s the best you could do?

democrats don’t solicit donations or smear their opponents, thanks for reminding us of that. Attaching a link to Val Demings saying that Rubio has no backbone, and another link to where she is asking for money.

BITCH. SLAPPED.

Well he has proved he has no backbone, before America met Val Demings when she was a House impeachment manager, FL knew her as Orlando's first female police chief

As a senator, she would be a major upgrade to trump lackey Marco Rubio

just read this in the local paper....good grief....

the solution apparently is mental health counselors specializing in "climate stress issues"..

what tf is being done to these poor people...?



"Sixteen-year-old Ben Doyle often feels "pervasive guilt." It creeps up when he leaves the water running a little too long while brushing his teeth, or when he drinks from a single-use plastic bottle.

In those moments, he says, "I really feel like I’m only hurting myself and acting against my interests and the interests of everybody around me."

Doyle, a student at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, said he experienced "hopelessness" when the U.S. withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement in 2020.

Ben Doyle, 16, of Greenland, New Hampshire, struggles with the feeling of emotional distress stemming from the environmental crisis.
The term "climate anxiety" immediately strikes a chord with him – the phenomenon of emotional distress stemming from the planet's environmental crisis. Around the world, members of Generation Z – currently 9-24 years old – are experiencing it acutely, according to new data. And many people in their child-bearing years are torn between the future that awaits and their personal desire to have kids."

your previous post, way back 5 minutes ago, suggests you don’t like politicians who solicit donations or who insult their opponents.

you must have evolved in the last 5 minutes or so, because now you’re supporting a democrat who solicits donations and who insults her opponent.

please stop making this so easy.

i don’t know anything about her. What i do know, is that you criticized Rubio for asking for money and for smearing his opponent. I also know that you don’t care that his opponent did both of those things.

it’s ok when democrats do it, only problematic when republicans do it. Right?

Pretty simply I find it comical that Little Marco called former police chief Val Deming a radical.
You’re the one with the consistent tribal labels
By the way
You and Republicans have repeatedly said the Biden Administration is a failure. So when we see the economy growing at the rate it is and the off the chart job growth, remember the you and the Republicans were opposed to the Biden agenda.

US added 531,000 jobs in October, above expectations. August and September figures revised up as well. Unemployment rate down to 4.6%.

You want a job -- Dems deliver. You don't want to die of Covid. -- Dems deliver. Don't want your kids to die from climate change -- Dems will deliver. You want universal pre-k, lower drug prices, affordable day care and paid leave -- Dems will deliver. GOP???

Her tweet was about both the VA races .. this is her tweet

It’s not the messaging, folks,” Hill tweeted. “This country simply loves white supremacy.”

Your examples are so disingenuous

Just like CRT it’s everywhere !
And you’ve been told to be outraged . And you don’t disappoint

a black republican wins in VA. MSNBC host and guest who is a professor at georgetown, claim she’s a white supremacist. Of course they offer zero proof, maybe Michael Steele can put together a dossier on her for MSNBC.

these people hate every single
person in the right. this is a jamaican immigrant who served in the marine corps. but she’s a republican, so they have a seething hatred of her, and they will say anything to attack her.

This is a tv host, and. Georgetown professor. Think of how hate-filled and sick an ideology has to be, for influential people to think this way.

She’s can’t really be a good black unless she’s a liberal.

It’s not possible that democrats lost fair and square. The winners MUST be evil, otherwise they’d have to admit the left is not flawless.

it’s not justifiable, to be offended when msnbc says blacks are supposed to be liberal?

i can admit hannity is a buffoon. you can’t criticize this?

people don’t like this wayne. when you don’t have trump as the bogeyman, and more people see these tactics for what they are, we’ll see how that plays out in NC and FL.

you’re ok with saying she’s a foot soldier of white supremacy? Good for you.

Sears challenged Joy Reid to invite her on her show. Reid won’t do that, and instead calls her a white supremacist without giving Sears the chance to defend herself.

you don’t have any problem
with that? then you shouldn’t complain about foxnews.

as always with you, liberals can do anything, but it’s wrong when conservatives do it.

were you a victim of trump? because you lost about him. an awful lot, to the point where you were barred from starting threads. Did that ever give you pause to ask why you behaved this way?

Poor victim,
Trying to be a man but acting like a teen-age girl
Whining again
You heard on Fox that what, oh my god.
Don't worry, I'm sure she gets plenty of mentions on Fox.
If you want to make your campaign ad a picture with a firearm, you are a little off. Just what does a gun have to do with legislation?

Meanwhile in the real world

Dow is over 36,000, unemployment has dropped from 6.3 in Jan. to 4.8. Over 5 million jobs added, a record. 220m vaccines in 10 months.

how about you stop deflecting, and tell us what you think of what MSNBC is doing to this woman?

posing with a firearm has plenty to do with legislation ( i wouldnt do it, i think it’s a bit much), it conveys you’re a second ammendment supporter.

stock market is in a terrific place. and biden deserves some credit for that. fair enough?

but i moved half my positions to cash and have stop loss orders on my remaining positions, because a correction is coming. i’d be saying that if trump had won as well.

If you rely on Talking heads for your information, you'll end up mad all the time.
I don't see anything about Reid saying anything in the feed for her show and I would surmise that other than a 10 second clip, she did not get lost in that rabbit hole. However I'm assuming that one of the talking heads on Fox, is ranting about it.
So I looked and ah yes, Gutfield and it's been repeated by Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc

It’s amazing on the conservatives web sites. There is no name calling of Sears it must the R next to her name that saves her from the usual Racial comments she’s seen as useful black. Until she’s a RINO

By Jim and Republican Standards, Almost Nothing Is Racist unless it’s spoken by a Democratic then it all is?

But attacks on the VP are ok.. if I remember correctly you suggested She became district attorney of San Francisco and California state attorney general. By Blowing her way to those job and the VP ..

She’s can’t really be a good black or person of color unless she’s a Conservative women ?

You have to understand, as CRT would no doubt explain to you, the only time or way minorities, especially Blacks, are allowed a piece of the American pie is if they submit themselves to the dominant racist white supremacy system. Like those Blacks you often point out who do well by making the right choices that the system provides and doing the things that whiteness claims will lead to success--get married, wait till then to have children, get an education, work hard (the oppressive white "work ethic" pull yourself up by the bootstraps thingy), blah, blah, blah.

You see, the white supremacist system, which is rigged to privilege whites and maintain their supremacy, will only allow some of that privilege to Blacks is if it somehow benefits that systemically white racist system. It's no doubt good propaganda to let a few blacks, so long as they do the right white things that the system recommends, tap into the white privilege thingy. So successful blacks, especially notable ones like Sowell, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Condoleezza Rice, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Professional black athletes, and the lots of regular black folks who do the recommended right things can enjoy some or a lot of that white privilege that is mainly set aside for white folks because they did it the right white recommended way and it makes the systemically racist white system look good and proves that its message is correct. And, BTW, in many ways it can make white elites richer.

So the Black lady elected in VA as a Republican benefits the systemic racism of America by making it look good and by getting some black votes to help keep the system going--dontcha see.

So, to wrap up, if Blacks will submit to acting white, doing what whiteness recommends, they will usually be allowed to succeed because it supports white supremacy. They can even be allowed to become high paid athletes and actors and media stars, and Mayors and Senators and Representatives and presidents of universities, even President of the United States. That's why they can correctly be called white supremacists, even though they are black.

Now the seeming anomaly of many of these successful Blacks, especially in the media and politics, crying out against the racism of the system, is actually, willingly participated in or not, part of the allowed systemic activity. They add the appearance of a system that is open to opposition, that gives voice to everyone. But, as CRT points out, in spite of all the shouting and hollering and legislation by the opposition that is allowed to get elected, the inequality suffered by Blacks has only gotten worse. Since the great civil rights efforts of the supposed opposition which were stirred up even more with the Great Society legislation, and all the "reforms" that followed, Blacks have fallen even further back. Even though all the high level black opposition, actors, media personalities, athletes, politicians, and academics have maintained or improved their privileged status. And, more quietly, little mentioned, the regular Black folks who do the recommended whiteness things, also manage to succeed.

So, you see, CRT explains that the white supremacists' equality of opportunity nonsense is merely a propagandistic meme to deflect from what is really needed--equality of outcome. Or, to use the preferred CRT meme, what is necessary, what is needed is "equity."

And the Black lady that got elected in VA does not provide equity for Blacks or other minorities. It just separates her from the plight of regular Black folks who are not interested in doing the right "white" things that lead to personal success but maintain the systemically racist system. She's just another Black white supremacist.

Sears’ existence, and more so her victory, exposes about half of the entire liberal agenda as a lie. Which is why they spit on her.
