The Blocker Awards: Day Three -- Never Trumper Historical Revisionism Award

Twitter is sewer -- useful, just don't drink out of it.  And blocking someone on Twitter is such a mundane, garden-weeding affair that it barely merits mentioning.  Except when the context of doing so is itself such a delightful window onto the soul of the blocker that it deserves special mention.

And thus the Blocker Awards were born.

Monday we handed out the award for Both Sniderism:  those delicate souls who built careers flogging the Big Lie of Both Sides Do It, blocked me for pointing out pointedly that Both Siderism was bullshit, and who then reversed their position entirely without ever acknowledging that they had ever believed otherwise.

Tuesday we handed out the award in the How Greenwald Was My Valley category: hardy Greenwald myrmidons and fair weather "friends" who flipped out when I started writing about Mr. Greenwald's crippling lies, flaws and hypocrisies.

And today we hand-count your ballots -- even those from our fighting men and women overseas and those found at the post office under a pile of expired Sears catalogs -- to determine the winner of the Blocker Award in the Never Trumper Historical Revisionism category.  To qualify for this category, nominees must have accomplished the following:

1. Spent their entire adult lives building the GOP monster machine from which Trump was birthed.


2. Spent the last three years pretending that the last 30 years of GOP history never happened. That everything was just fine with their Republican Party right up until Donald Trump descended the Escalator of Doom.


3. Have used various synonyms for magical trickery (hypnotized, mesmerized, bamboozled) or force (hijacked) the explain how Donald Trump won the nomination of their racist shitpile party when literally all Trump did was talk just like the base of their party talks, act just like the base of their party acts, and promised to deliver on the same crazy, racist claptrap they had been teased with on Fox News and Hate Radio for decades.


4. Have gone right on pretending that no one could have foreseen that their Party of Reagan could have come to this.


5. Have gone right on on pretending that we on the Left do not exist and have not been warning of precisely this danger for decades ... while at the same time ripping off the Liberal critique of the Right and profiting materially by filing off the serial number and re-selling it as some kind of brilliant epiphany.


6. Blocked me for pointing this out.

Of course, pretty much every Never Trumper is now making a tidy income running some kind of Historical Revisionist side hustle based on sticking to points 1-5 -- 

-- but these three gentleman have all gone the extra mile by blocked me for making them look stupid on the Twitter, and so our nominees are:

Charlie Sykes
Rick Wilson
Jonah Goldberg 

And the winner is ... Fredrick G. "Rick" Wilson.  Because his timing was so fucking perfect.

Literally moments after Joe Scarborough finally decided to admit on live teevee that "Holy Shit, the Left really was right about the Right all along" -- and then dropped that piping-hot turd into Rick Wilson's lap (thus gutting Mr. Wilson's "I knew nothing!  I saw nothing!" alibi that is the foundation on which he built his book) -- Mr. Wilson took time out of his busy day to block me for pointing out to him, over and over again, that "The Left really was right about the Right all along".

For the sheer nekkidness of his mercenary motives, today we award Fredrick G. "Rick" Wilson the Blocker award for Never Trumper Historical Revisionism.

Tomorrow: The Blocker Award for The Mocker Blockers.

Vote Here! (Just kidding.  It's my Tip Jar.)
