Meh, it was the same Liberals who said we need to take Hillbilly Elegy seriously and even made a movie out of it.

Transphobes, Trad Cats, chuds, neoliberal goblins. Put them all up on a stage, debate them and watch them hang themselves.

Yeah, I think the time of "not giving them a platform" is pretty much over considering they own the world's biggest stage and are headline news every single day. They also own the news, socials, tv, radio, billboards, etc...

They'll stop holding town halls soon. Sunlight does scatter the roaches.

Congenital liar Karoline Leavitt is probably going to throw monkey shit around the James Brady Press Briefing Room in a few minutes. I'll post it as it ends.

I completely disagree. Not debating these clowns in the first place is what allowed them to fester. Put any of these goblins you think harmed people up in front of “normies” and they just look like mean assholes.

We are where we are because these goblins’ ideas weren’t shown for watch they are in public debate. Instead the right got to play the victim and make the blue haired screaming girl meme.

Yeah it's kind of funny reading the "just put cameras on them, they'll make themselves look like shit!" logic 5 posts under the Zelenskyy clip and we already know how that will be spun in right wing and even a lot of legacy media.

Respect to Zelensky. Don't cede your territory and resources to appease Trump and Putin.

This

Yeah. Before Trump was banned from Twitter, he was propped UP by it for a fucking decade and invited on talk shows and hosted SNL and invited on "edgy but open-minded" radio shows/podcasts. If nothing else, banning him for a while shut him the fuck up for a bit and brought most of us a little peace for a change.

If media ever becomes an detriment to the Republican Party, they simply abandon what's not working. Town Halls are quickly not working for them, so they'll just move on. It's a game of Whack-A-Mole.

That being said, every once in a while you can get that zen shit working and end up correctly guessing where the mole is gunna be next. Is a dead mole worth the effort? Is the juice worth the squeeze?
