Wow! I'm glad I had taken my blood pressure medication before reading this piece!

As usual, the left and their reliable Never-Trumper GOP foot soldiers consistently accuse conservatives of what they themselves are doing.

Take the paragraph below. The GOPe brag about the fact that they are abandoning their base and are ignoring the wishes of their voters.

"Michelle Cottle of the New York Times recently reported from Georgia, where the state party has effectively been taken over by the comments section. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who defied Trump’s attempts to destroy him in the primaries, has essentially washed his hands of the state GOP, directing donors to ignore it and give their money to his PAC."

Didn’t Jonah Goldberg throw his Republican credentials on the table and quit over Trump? And who says DJT wasn’t a necessary political enema?

Yeah, what else do we expect from yahoo and goldberg. Both are firmly in the “the people are revolting” camp.

i.e. if practiced upon the right, censorship is for the greater good.

Jonah GoldenCalf needs to look in the mirror. He single handily destroyed National Review with his nasty, obnoxious articles, of which decent folk just decided to cancel their subscription to that rag.

Georgia re-elected him as a so called Republican and he rewards them by ignoring the base and turning his nose up at them. He let the 2020 be stolen & turned Georgia purple by fraud. MTG is the best thing out of a Georgia.

This is the third time in the past week or so I have heard references to Jeb Bush.

That’s what this whole article is for imho. A PR piece for JB.

Jonah Goldberg....this butt wipe has been pathetic for 10 plus years. I think he even edited National Review for a while way back then. Or was an editor.

If not for the comment sections, the bald-faced lies of korrupt government and korporations would be unchecked.

No surprise. The only people who despise regular Americans more than the left are the GOP establishment.

NeoCons are war profiteers and Trotskyites, I doubt Goldberg has any real conservative beliefs. National Review was always a gatekeeper for conservatives but at least Buckley was intelligent, funny , and a Christian.

Nothing wrong with comments. Yes trolls, disrupters and shills can crowd out normal people offering their voice and viewpoint. How’s he feel about social media in general because that only amplifies the problem.

Trump was a key pivot point, hopefully a positive inflection that would get us back on track on America for the benefit of Americans rather than the radicals, anarchists and self appointed elite. His failure to be re-elected and erroneous strategy since has let America First down. We need someone else to pick up the torch and run.

Trump gave voice to the real feeling that the political class were more interested in themselves than getting things done, that foreign policy experts in government had tunnel vision that was not in America’s, and the world’s, best interest.

Coming from a party taken over by AOC and The Squad, this is pretty comical. Just taking a look at the crazy train that the Media-Dem Party has become far outpaces anything that the GOP even at its weirdest has ever done.

Moderators are only as good as the site. Ive been in chats where the moderators are obviously leftards.

“folk just decide not to hang out anymore”

Kind of true. In that i don’t really hand out anywhere particular..FR excluded.:) Anyhow,I make my point. ..will have a back and forth with someone with a opposing view if they are sane. Or, to clarify. But don’t bother with people who do not sound sane.

Exactly! Who gets banned from social media more? The Left or the Right? The Right gets banned, while the Left is free to troll. This sounds like just another whiny excuse to ban political speech from the web.

Meanwhile, has anyone paid attention to just who runs comments sections for enemedia outlets now...

And not just in the US, BTW.

Maybe someone should look into that.

Hint, hint...
