Professional Left Podcast Episode 859: The Memory Hole That Is America
Wednesday, December 04, 2024
Remember Kids, Hippie Punching is *Always* In Season.
And you will always find your Never Trump "allies" leading the charge.
Also, that narrative "settled in" about 50 years ago, and Right, the legacy media, and the spineless Center have been dining out on it ever since.

Professional Left Podcast Episode 858: Pardon This, Republicans
Monday, December 02, 2024
Remind Me Again, Who Gave These Mopes The Conch?*
Have you noticed how Republicans are always willing to sacrifice other people's kids to their own, failed political fantasies?
Have you noticed how Never Trumpers are still trying to con their audience into thinking that if we could just catch Republicans lining up to support Trump commiting one more crime, or one more act of treason or spewing out one more monstrous lie...then we could torch 'em! And all our Never Trumper superiors require of us stupid Democrats is that we behave flawlessly at all times, and never put a foot wrong!
Simply posting his own fury and contempt for us stupid Liberals obviously did not slake Nichols' thirst for shitting on us. He hadda go scrounging for other people to tell us how terribly wrong we are.
On the one hand, it would probably be rude and uncivil of me to reiterate for the hundredth time what an act of incandescent idiocy it was to hand over what little is left of the "Liberal" media to a small handful of recently-former Republicans who had previously spent their entire professional lives hating our living guts, opposing everything we believe in, and building the very same Republican monster factory that eventually drove them out of their own party and onto MSNBC.

I Am So Confused
One hears a great deal these days about Democrats failing because we don't talk like "regular people".
For example, here is John Fetterman being quoted by Fox News...which, in turn, is quoting The New York Times. Which is all just super helpful.
Fetterman says Democrats lost male voters by being insulting, condescending
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., believes the Democratic Party has turned off male voters by being "insulting."
In a new interview with The New York Times, the lawmaker stated that liberals turned off male voters, who supported President-elect Donald Trump in droves.
"Telling them that ‘I know better than you do,’ that’s not helpful," Fetterman said, characterizing what he saw as the party’s approach to courting men.
Or you could just go here ("Joe Walsh and The Triumphant Return of Joey Tabula Rasa") to a post in which I wrote about a specific, traceable example of this phenomenon. A fragment of a speech by Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm was taken wildly out of context by one conservative asshole. It was passed upward through the Conservative media digestive system until it was allegedly overheard by one of Joe Walsh's many, nameless, imaginary just-plain-workin'-folk friends who, like Tom Friedman's many imaginary cab drivers, always just so happens to say exactly what Walsh wants to yell at Democrats about on any given day.
And on this particular day, Walsh transmogrified that entire daisy-chair of fiction, fake outrage and nonsense into yet another tirade about how out-of-touch Democrats are with the just plain regular American proletariats.
In that post I break down that whole process, and you can go read it for yourself for free. However, if you are inclined to send along $64 or more, I wouldn't think less of you.
UPDATE: Jim from the comments makes an important point. When you consider the vast, empty expanse of all the things about which Cletus is dead-rat ignorant -- "Cletus doesn't know Trump is a convicted rapist. Cletus doesn't know Trump spent $160 million on NFL TV ads bashing TWO (that's right 2) trans prisoners who continued their transition treatments in prison following the TRUMP Administration's guidelines. Cletus also doesn't know Trump is convicted on 34 felony counts." and so forth -- how is it that Cletus doesn't know fuck all about anything, but is 100% for damn sure that some college professor out there at Hah-vahd spends all his days and nights cackling about Cletus not using the right pronouns.
