Don’t Let Liberals Jussie You!

“Jussie” (verb): To promote a bigoted lie about conservative Americans that faithfully supports the liberal narrative while being so transparently false that only the stupidest of the people pushing it actually believe it.

Our society keeps getting jussied, and I’m frankly getting tired of it. It’s not only annoying but it’s evil. It is naked prejudice disguised as fussy outrage directed toward groups who the social justice whiners have decreed are exempt from the standard ban on racial, sexual, religious and cultural bigotry. And it’s dangerous, both because of the cold fury it inspires in those subjected to this kind of grimy okey-doke, and because of how it crowds reason out of the public square.

If you can’t reason, because reason has been rejected as a bourgeois conceit in favor of frothing hatred at the designated target du jour, how do you resolve disputes and differences as a society? The advocates of this lynch mob mentality seem to think that their social media howling is the alternative. They think that if they shout down their opponents, their opponents will simply disappear. Poof!

But their pampered upbringing here in America, especially on college campuses where their fascist antics are rewarded, has led to a failure of imagination. They can’t imagine a society where their targets get mad and rebel. Ignorant of history, and of human nature, they don’t understand that the traditional way a society solves problems when it abandons reason is not abject submission to screaming blue checks on Twitter. It’s violence.

That’s the true danger of jussieing. It puts a significant portion of the citizenry’s collective back against the wall and demands that they give in, without comprehending that an opponent is most dangerous when cornered.

This is the point where I get jussied for this column. Liberals, no doubt with the supporting “tut-tuts” of their submissive Fredocon minions, will gleefully convert my recitation of irrefutable truths into some sort of call of chaos. But I’m not calling for chaos. I’ve seen chaos, and I’m against it. That’s why I’m continuing to warn the fools out there who think they can undermine the foundations of the society the Founders built, one that is very different from the barbarism outside our borders, and still maintain that difference.

They can’t. A free, peaceful society is a system. Reasoned debate, as opposed to phenomena like jussieing, is a key component of that system. You can’t just remove the components you find inconvenient and still expect that system to unction such that you get to take advantage of the components you do like. It’s all or nothing.

But I don’t think the jussiers will listen. Remember, mobbing is fun, and for a long time it’s been rewarded. So why would they stop?

They did it to Brett Kavanaugh, latching onto skeevy stereotypes about young males to condemn a man whose only crime was genuflecting to God instead of to liberal ideology.

Jusssied, because of his race, his faith, his daring to think forbidden thoughts.

They did it to that kid who was bewildered by the Frigidaireborne ranger with a drum, again joyfully engaging in the same style of bigotry about that kid’s race, religion and culture that would have made the Democrats of the KKK clap their paws.

Jusssied, because of his race, his faith, his daring to think forbidden thoughts.

And there is Jussie Smollett himself, with his astonishingly inept lie about – get this – a couple of white dudes wandering around arctic Chicago at 2:00 a.m. in MAGA hats with some bleach n’ rope who knew who he was and watched whatever Empire is, and attacked him shouting, “This is MAGA country!”

Sounds legit. Hey, it checks all the narrative boxes! In fact, Smollett’s silly story did that so perfectly that anyone saying he believed it was either flat-out lying or so mind-bogglingly, Ted Lieu-level stupid that he’ll start gasping for air if someone doesn’t remind him to breath.

All of the prominent liberals joined in the festival of jussieing – politicians, stars, media jerks. But when Jussie’s shack of lies collapsed, as everyone knew it would, none of them said, “Gosh, I bought into a bunch of bigoted stereotypes about people who are different from me because I wanted them to be true to reaffirm my prejudices, and that was wrong, and I want to say that I’m sorry to all the Trump supporters who I helped slander.”

Think of the positive effect that would have had from someone of prominence confessing and repenting of his bigotry. Think of how that could be a first step toward ridding our culture of the only kind of bigotry that’s tolerated today, the bigotry against the designated villains of leftist ideology. But none of them will do it. In the off chance they wanted to, they can’t, because their own supporters will devour them.

So they keep on jussieing, with each seedy rerun of this shameful cycle of lies further poisoning our culture.

Countless alleged scrawling of swastikas, snatched hijabs, and carefully placed nooses – all lies.

The good news is that this country is so essentially unbigoted that the professional alleged anti-bigots have to leverage their own bigotry to manufacture something for them to oppose.

It has to stop, because if it doesn’t, our country may not recover. And the jussiers won’t like what happens next.

To experience the full horror of an America built on jussieing the citizenry, check out my novels People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire, which explore an America split in two between red and blue in the early 2020s. Hey, they’re more plausible than Jussie Smollett’s fiction!

Hoaxer Smollett came out as gay during a televised interview with Ellen DeGeneres in March 2015.

In a 2016 interview with Out magazine, Smollett clarified his sexual orientation by stating “If I had to label myself, I would label myself as a gay man.” However, he stated his belief that openness to love is more important than gender, revealing that “If I fall in love down the road with a woman, I’m going to love that woman.”

As a boy, Smollett had some romantic interest in girls. When Smollett’s gay character Jamal Lyon from Empire engaged in a tryst with a female character, Smollett defended the plot development by stating that he and Empire creator Lee Daniels were trying to create a conversation about sexual fluidity in the gay community.

Daniels has stated that “Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we’re sexual human beings. And we do occasionally want to sleep with a woman.” Daniels stated that “We’re showing life on Empire”, in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire.

Here’s 12 “experts”—establishment media commentators and journalists who fueled the Jussie Smollett flames with impassioned and uncritical reactions to the Empire actor’s imaginative account of his supposed run-in with Trump supporters in “MAGA country” Chicago.

1. Eugene Scott – Washington Post‘s The Fix reporter——“To many, the Smollett incident — and the political nature of the assault — is yet another reminder for many black gay Americans that this president’s vision of a ‘great America’ does not appear to include them,” wrote Eugene Scott for Washington Post‘s The Fix.

2. Don Lemon – CNN journalist-——CNN’s Don Lemon told Red Table Talk that he wasn’t shocked when he heard Smollett’s story, adding that he was concerned about the actor’s “well-being” in having to deal with being black, gay, and famous.

“One, he has to deal with discrimination as a black man,” said Lemon, “then, on top of that, he has to be gay — and then, fame — fame is not natural — When something happens to you and it’s controversial, everyone is coming for you, and so I knew everyone would be picking apart his story.”

3. Yamiche Alcindor – PBS NewsHour White House correspondent—— “We have to do better as a country. This is disgusting,” said PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, in a tweet referring to the alleged attackers shouting “This is MAGA country,” which was then retweeted by CNN commentator Sally Kohn.

4. Joyce Vance – MSNBC contributor——“If someone commits this kind of act under your banner, you should have the decency to publicly condemn them and say it’s not what you stand for. But I doubt Trump will,” tweeted MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance in response to Alcindor.

5. Jamil Smith – Rolling Stone journalist-—“The brutal attack on him in Chicago appears to be yet another example not just of further moral decay, but of the brand of terrorism that still doesn’t seem to spark enough response by Americans,” tweeted Rolling Stone journalist Jamil Smith.

6. April Ryan – CNN analyst-——“This attack on @JussieSmollett is a hate crime and should be treated as such!” affirmed CNN’s April Ryan, in response to the NAACP’s Derrick Johnson, who claimed the actor had been a victim of a “racist, homophobic attack” and that “divisive, hateful rhetoric” is putting “lives at risk.”

7. Jemele Hill – The Atlantic journalist——“I’ve met @JussieSmollett a few times at social events and he emanates warmth and joy. I’m just disgusted and appalled that he has suffered the unimaginable,” tweeted an uncritical Jemele Hill.

8. Zerlina Maxwell – MSNBC analyst——“The media is broken. If they can’t call the attack on Jussie racist straight up then they need to find alternative employment,” argued the MSNBC analyst, scrutinizing any media that had been referring to the incident as an “apparent hate crime.”

“Apparent HATE CRIME?” continued Maxwell, “Sure bc that has a legal definition. But to be clear pouring bleach on a Black person while you are yelling about MAGA = RACIST”

9. Joy Reid – MSNBC correspondent——“Nooses never really disappeared as messages of a very specific kind of terror,” said MSNBC’s Joy Reid, “but every time they’re used, my God, it’s chilling. Praying for Jussie’s full recovery. And for us all.”

10. Karen Attiah – Washington Post editor-——“Regarding the heinous attack on @JussieSmollett, yet another reminder that Trump’s ascendance and the resulting climate of hate has meant that lives have been increasingly at stake since 2015. Smollett could have been killed by those thugs screaming MAGA. Let that sink in,” tweeted Washington Post editor Karen Attiah.

11. Amy Siskind – Huffington Post contributor——“Can we get anyone in the Trump orbit to condemn the 2 MAGA men who brutally attacked Jussie Smollett, a gay black man, and put his head in a noose while saying ‘This is MAGA country,’ so others don’t feel like your silence is legitimizing hate? How about you @realDonaldTrump?” tweeted Huffington Post contributor Amy Siskind.

“Confirmed. Trump needs to address this attack publicly and condemn it!” continued Siskind in another tweet, which included a Huffington Post article that did not confirm anything, other than the fact that Smollett had spoken to the police.

12. Brooke Baldwin – CNN journalist and news anchor——“Absolutely despicable,” said CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on CNN Newsroom, “and this is America in 2019.”
