The left has a depressing message: racism, misogyny, greed, hate, communism, socialism, and the list goes on. Americans have given these people a forum for decades, suffered through the angry speeches, the pompous lectures, the unending accusations and shaming. And frankly, most people are sick of it. They now go out of their way to avoid the liberal beatings.
As a result, liberals have trouble getting their message out. Most people don't attend leftist rallies, they turn off programs where liberals rattle off their grievances, and they generally try to avoid the toxic left. But liberals never take no for an answer, they always find another way to impose their will, to force us to listen.
Thus the bait and switch. As usual, liberals don't have their own bait, so they have to co-opt ours. They use events or activities we enjoy, places where we expect to have fun. Then they parachute in and hammer us with their spiteful admonitions.
• Want to curl up with a good book? Hopefully you can look at J.K. Rowling's or Stephen King's books without associating their novels with the authors' venomous tirades.
• Maybe you'd like to see a movie? Good luck trying to immerse yourself in the plot when the lead character – Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, or another activist star – just delivered a political screed. Makes it hard to imagine that very real person as the fictional character in the movie.
In each of these cases, leftists use the bait, something we like to do, to lure us into their trap. Then the switch: instead of fun or relaxation, we're bombarded with vicious, vile political rhetoric.

Yes, and it very annoying.
I’d add another item to Ryan’s list: Marvel Comics. From a very early age I read, loved and followed their characters into adulthood. But about ten or fifteen years ago, the brightness of the fictional universe darkened and I decided to end my purchasing. That turned out to be a good move, in hindsight. From what I understand now, the books sell paltry numbers and are chock-full of ham-handed liberal propaganda with lead characters out of the SJW Handbook.
Another American success story driven into the ground by moonbats.
He?
I thought they were all Zirs and zes and stuff.
As a result, liberals have trouble getting their message out.
We can’t avoid their message. They’re getting it out, but we aren’t listening.
Yes. Which is why he is alone. So very, very alone. And sad.
Wrong premise. A liberal never whines when no one is around.
If a tree falls in the forest and there are only liberals there to hear it, does anybody care which lumber company gets the tree, as long as the skidder-loader runs over as many liberals as possible getting to it?
Agreed.
I was a huge Captain America fan from 10 years old on and really, really enjoyed Chris Evan’s portrayal .....until he opened his mouth OUTSIDE the movies.
