@DerrickEvans4WV Wild. In America we vote them into office.

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'

From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.

Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'

As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.

Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.

@DropPopNet A flag so complicated the people represented by it don’t understand what it means or what they stand for.

@DemocraticWins “In a stunning moment, someone who means nothing to anyone criticizes the presidents betterment of the state of the capital.”

@SenSanders Literally every single one of your constituents buys from, supports and uses Amazon on a daily basis. Amazon provides a service the people want and use. Robots may make that purchase cheaper. Choose a different attack path. This one isn’t working Bernie.

@StephenKing Listened to Holly. It was horrible.

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@TaraBull808 Logical.

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@EricLDaugh Oh forbid your beliefs are “scrutinized”. The plight of liberals is that anyone questioning what they believe to be true is considered persecution. You’re not being attacked. It’s not a frenzy of hatred. what absurdity to compare your situation to a victim of Hitler. Please leave

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@JoJoFromJerz And this is what’s wrong with America.

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@PattyMurray Oh boo hoo. “I’ve never seen a president so unwilling to tell me I’m valuable and everything I think is right and validated.” Your hurt feelings don’t equate to the big bad orange man being corrupt. Grow up. Maybe you’re just not right.

@CollinRugg I love you Arnold. Thank you for recognizing New Mexicos plight

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Arnold Schwarzenegger claps back at CNN's Jake Tapper, calls out "extreme gerrymandering" in blue states.

Tapper: "Do you believe that the Republican Party is starting this?"

Schwarzenegger: "No, Jake. There has been gerrymandering going on for 200 years."

"There is such extreme gerrymandering going on that in a state like Massachusetts, it has like 40% of the people voting for Trump, they have zero representatives."

"The Republican Party has zero representatives sent to the House. Think about that."

"In New Mexico, 45% of the people voted for Trump and vote Republican, and zero is sent to the House, zero representatives from the Republican Party."

@jerseyjoeTalks @GavinNewsom Spot on.

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@GavinNewsom A system that creates such heavy reliance on gov’t support like snap/wic/etc is not for the people. Fix those problems in your home state and then maybe have an opinion on the country.

@karlykingsley Another partial quote intended for absolute rubbish conclusions.

[Thomas Hern @ThomasMHern]

"White boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won, but to call it a No Kings protest, to act like he is a king is so utterly preposterous. This is a man who won the popular vote. He won every swing state. He is a person who is enacting the exact agenda he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning. And so what they are actually protesting is the absolute perfection of American democracy."

[Gregory August @Gregory__August]

@SenRickScott How out of touch?! How disconnected! People in congress can’t go without a paycheck because they have kids? Father of 7 here, who is currently going without a check because Dems want to force policy in a simple budget. But yeah.,,, congress can’t go without pay. lol.

The Left is literally celebrating that Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck.

This is who they are.

Never forget. Never forgive.

Never consider them your fellow American.
