The following frauds were Covidian alarmists in early 2020:
Tucker Carlson
Curtis Yarvin
Mike Cernovich
Jack Posobiec
Steve Bannon
JD Vance
Most of them became Covidians because they saw it as a pretext to shut the borders, ban international travel, attack the "globalization" bogeyman, and position themselves for greater political power and influence.
What they weren't counting on was Anthony Fauci stealing the show from them and becoming the public face of lockdowns, masks, and alarmism. Over the next year or so, they began reinventing themselves as part of the anti-lockdown movement.
JD Vance did this. In April 2020 he went on a now-deleted social media binge that trashed Sweden, urged everyone to mask up, and tried to dismiss the anti-lockdown movement as a distraction from the "real" fight against "globalism." Two years later he reinvented himself as an anti-lockdown political candidate.
Tucker Carlson used his broadcasts in early 2020 to spread Covid alarmism as a pretext for border closures, and even met privately with Trump to convince him to sign the emergency order that authorized lockdowns. When Fauci overshadowed him as the public face of the Covid response, Tucker flipped sides and reinvented himself as anti-lockdown.
Cernovich and Posobiec spent the first few months of Covid pushing alarmism all over their social media feeds...which they've since memory-holed while reinventing themselves as lockdown resisters.
A few more joined their ranks such as "Auron MacIntyre," a pseudonymous podcaster who registered a bunch of social media accounts on April 19, 2020 to promote Yarvinism. He said barely a word about Covid at the time (and his hero Yarvin was busy calling for lockdown violators to be jailed), but a couple years later he too reinvented himself as anti-lockdown.
Those of us who opposed Faucism from the beginning remember just how lonely it was. But we also remember these imposters who came along years later and pulled a Stolen Valor scam on the public to depict themselves as skeptics of the very same Covidian tyranny they fomented.
"There would have never been a Covid vaccine with out me!"
Donald J Trump.
He also gave Big Pharma full immunity, has been vaxxed 16 times, and commended Dr. Fauci.
If Maga has a problem they need to take it up with their Daddy.
Maybe @NASA can help out @SpaceX with their Starship vehicle. They can show them techniques to develop a rocket without the need to test so many expendable vehicles. Launching rockets loses money for SpaceX and will have an impact on stock price.
At the Heritage Foundation now, new staff members enjoy debates about topics like the Holocaust and who the good guys were in World War II.
The future of conservatism is bright.
Dreher was funded for years by Viktor Orban’s government, which the Trump administration backed to the hilt, only to be hugely embarrassed a few months ago. I’m perfectly willing to entertain the idea that Vance wants to stay chummy with neo-Nazis and anti-Semites to benefit his own political fortune. But I’m also willing to entertain the idea that Vance no longer sees Dreher as useful or relevant and that only one side here ever believed they were “friends.”
Dort isn't a leader, he's a failed officer who can't get a command and is paid to tweet
The first amendment protects the freedom of the press specifically
Nobody's threatened dort, he's just a sensitive coward who can't handle the gentlest pushback, so he lies.
When a malignant narcissist is humiliated—by embarrassing himself in an interview, or predicting the demise of a movie because of a Black actress and watching it be successful—he receives a severe injury to his ego that must be patched up through grandiose projection.
He obsesses, perseverates about revenge and picks a target to use as an object for his sadism which restores his self-image of dominance and omnipotence.
He has chosen, of all people, Anne Hathaway. His line of attack is that she is a “bird brain,” a “robot,” a “marionette,” “doesn’t think for herself,” has a “script,” and is an “NPC” (non-player character). This dehumanizing, misogynist rhetoric is purely designed to restore order in his mind by locating his scapegoat as a different species altogether.
To bolster this narrative he has given his own script to his personal paid actor Gad Saad, a revolting propagandist dedicated to deleting empathy from humanity because Elon has none and finds it inconvenient in others.
All of this because Anne Hathaway starred in a movie Elon hated months before it was finished.
Elon Musk is existentially dangerous to all of us. There is NO BOTTOM to what he will do once he’s finally cornered by his own hubris and disorders.
Walsh fuming that he didn’t get to see a bunch of sexually abused slave women be tortured and hanged for his entertainment is a little too on the nose even for him
@infantrydort@jbyerly81 “I am an active duty military failed-leader who dead-ended my career until I gave low-pete some extra special after hours attention in his makeup room and I will say emphatically to all reading this that Joe Byerly correctly thinks journalists are a protected class.
Trump talks toughest to America's allies—and most carefully to America's adversaries. Canada gets tariffs and insults. Zelensky gets public humiliation. Putin gets deference. Xi gets an off-ramp. That's not "America First." It's bullying the people least likely to hit back. Because at his core, Trump is weak and scared. (link in reply)
She's the posh, right-wing daughter of an army officer and the editor of a rag that's championed capitalism, deregulation, privatization and free trade since 1843, you daft laddie.
With the Kremlin again trying to convince the world that Russia is a "traditional values" paradise for Westerners looking to relocate, I figured I'd again share some of the very real stories of those who did relocate and just how well that worked out for them. 🧵
