The Awakening of Ana Kasparian — When the Left Meets Reality
New York Post ^ | Karol Markowicz

Posted on 07/07/2023 2:07:30 PM PDT by nickcarraway

What happens when leftism meets reality?

Ana Kasparian, co-host of the left-wing show “The Young Turks,” recently found out.

Kasparian railed against the financial hardship of retrofitting her California condo to allow for electric vehicle charging.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s committed to driving California straight into the ground, signed an executive order mandating an end to gas car sales by 2035, and very expensive charging stations will have to be installed throughout the state. A distressed Kasparian describes the “massive ---- loan” her building must take out to install the stations.

Why would an Armenia person be on something called the Young Turks (check history), owned by a person who wrote a paper on the Armenian Holocaust never happened, but also it was kind of a good thing?

Far-left pundit admits she was 'wrong' for assuming Kyle Rittenhouse chased Joseph Rosenbaum before fatally shooting him: 'I want to correct the record'

If she isn't careful, she's going to reason herself out of her career.

Next thing you know, Ana will be moving to a red state. Will she be smart enough to leave her leftwing politics in California?

Because being loyal to the theology of liberalism and leftism overrides such concerns.

“I want to do something in response to climate change, ....... she says — and launches into a rant about how the government should just “give me the money” instead of offering tax credits for things like charging stations.

Yeah, she's still a leftist.

What a coincidence. Thanks to the algorithm, I happened upon a Young Turks vid the other day where the big guy, Cenk, and Ana were talking about interviews with Trump supporters. The Trump supporters gave their reasons, not always articulately , but whatever, and his analysis was it doesn’t matter what they say, it’s all because they’re a bunch of racists. She disagreed.

What got me was the comments section under the vid was full of people trashing her for simply pointing out the fact that Trump supporters have varying motivations and it isn’t exactly fair to put words into their mouths. Recognizing that Trump supporters are human beings is too much for the Left, I guess.

...“give me the money” instead of offering tax credits for things like charging stations.”

She’s also not very bright ... the tax credits are the government essentially giving her money.

Every few months I watch the 30 minute version of the 2016 Young Jerks Election Meltdown. Watching the NY Times Hillary election win percentage predictions - 90% chance to win... 80%....when it declines to 60% these idiots start to ‘worry.’

A few months later TYT were begging for donations to remain on the air / internet.

No, no they are not

It’s your money, that you spend. The Goobermint just doesn’t take as much of your other money.
Fungibility.

I guess it depends on what your “essentially” means.

Some conservatives get excited when leftist break away on some issues.

But if they join us, they bring all their previous leftist baggage and demand it be adopted.

That’s exactly what happened with the NeoCons, who were also former leftists.

Are you a gnostic? More and more people are adopting leftist ideas. If conservatives can’t convince people of their ideas, then what hope is there to ever improve?

People like Kasparian don’t agree with us 90 percent.

They agree about five percent.

“Just be honest, you are bashing Reagan.”

Yes I do, but that is for another thread.

HAHA. All those shiny new electric cars parked in “her building.”

And when one goes up? There’s nothing to put out those fires. Oh yeah. And all the bums and thieves will not be thanking the building owner for all the nice new copper wires they will sell for scrap.

You are bashing Trump to - he is a Neocon. He was a Democrat for most of the 2000s. He was pro-abortion when he ran in 2000, for eminent domain, and he made his pageant rabidly pro-LGBT and anti-Christian.

You really believe conservatives should not spread their ideas and let radical leftists take over the country?
