That was very well said. The proof is that it was a long post and I actually read the whole thing and found it all interesting. FWIW, we are on the same page, even on some of the minutia you brought up. I’ve actually “trolled” leftists on sites by doing the things you mentioned. It’s oddly fascinating to watch people’s heads explode followed by them breaking site rules and getting temp (or permanently) banned.

When you are indoctrinated as Leftists are, you don’t have to engage in introspection. What you are told by the media, entertainment, education, and Leftist politicians is the simple truth.

As if its like a prog ( phonelike ) app that is constantly updated with, you know, PROGRESS !

As like a phone app, often its not an improvement just more bloat for bloat sake.

...a story about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court titled “Senator Hirono Demands ACB be Weighed Against a Duck to See If She Is a Witch.”

Seriously (?) though, if a person has allowed themselves to indulge in hatred and negativity to the point of humorlessness they have extinguished one of God's gifts that raises us from bestial savagery. They have my pity but I can't waste compassion on the purposeful self-mutilation of their souls.

LOL, I understand completely. I have never been able to distill down what I want to say effectively, the process is for me a way of distilling my own opinion. I appreciated your reading it.

Of all the things that drives them to madness, not taking them seriously has to be at the top of the list. Shows just how intellectually and emotionally insecure they are.

And...that’s a bad combination.

I know exactly the phenomenon, of making their heads explode-we used to have a Freeper (may he Rest In Peace) Dr. Raoul, who used to wear a Halliburton ball cap in the last decade, and the mere sight of it was the equivalent of jamming a stick into a hornet’s nest of Leftists!

Hahaha...your post made me think of that young guy from the Breaking Bad series who was impressed with his High School chemistry teacher, and when he saw his old teacher do something interesting in the production of meth, he would say “Yeah! Science!”

I really liked that auto-update analogy...it explains how they all stay on the same page so easily.

They are such easy targets over on the Left, but...they have some folks at The Bee who know just where to stick that knife of satire in the Left that makes them crazy!

The problem with the Left is, when it comes to political satire, they are a "one trick pony". I don't watch late night comedy or SNL, but when I do, it is all a variation of "Orange Man Bad". Trump definitely lives rent-free inside their heads.

That, and the "smelly, ugly "Shoppers of Walmart". It is all they have.

One cannot live on a steady diet of Leftist pap alone! There is no comedic nutrition in it!

I have heard that the ChiComs have already begun to go down this road with their extensive facial recognition technology.

I'll bet that they can figure out what television station or website an individual is looking at or browsing, and if they see the recognition of a frown on a item or article that is supposed to laudatory to the Chicoms or their agenda, that person is flagged for closer observation with the end result their "social score" is going to go down...eventually resulting in even a visit from the authorities.

I don't doubt that a bit. Not a bit.

When I went back to my hometown and visited relatives during the election it was a lot of blast to Mill around downtown in the various Starbucks while wearing my trump 20/20 hat. The responses were hilarious.

The day is coming when they will try to legislate the expression on your face.

It was called facecrime in “1984”.
