Big Tech spent many millions in support of Ro Khanna. When Ro Khanna flips, all these guys say is, "We regret giving him many millions of dollars." But ask them if they are going to similarly fund right wing candidates and causes, and suddenly they are all broke.
It's bad to give attention to stupid liars like David French but his attempt to meme the phrase "magic blood" is a great demonstration of the cargo-cult thinking on the left that leads to a "search for a thought-terminating cliche"
"Magic dirt" rhetorically wounds them because it exposes the stupidity of the trick they're trying to play - that by simply declaring people "American" that you meaningfully change those people. This wound causes them to search for a counter-cliche to dismiss it
"Magic blood" is his attempt at this but it plainly fails because every person alive has an instinctive understanding of the importance of heredity - their encapsulated, bounded thinking that merely tries to stay in tune with the progressive egregore - that thinks of nothing other than "how do I conform to the beliefs of a 'Good Person'" has a lot of trouble with this idea because it has to reconcile
Children are like parents in appearance and temperament and capability
Somehow this stops being true when you are dealing with groups
I guess they square this by... pretending there are no group differences? Which is actually absurd and something literally no one believes and no one has ever believed - not even leftists like this guy but it serves as a patch - a way of avoiding thinking about the extremely obvious implications of other things he believes
Leftism constantly requires absurd levels of mental handicapping like this - inserting absurd falsehoods to avoid thinking about the consequences of other falsehoods - those falsehoods are then abandoned in other contexts which demonstrate that they don't actually "believe" them - to the extent that they can be said to believe *anything* outside of "I am a Good Person for having Correct Beliefs"
The problem with most conspiracy theories is that they require believing the same shadow forces genius enough to orchestrate them are also sloppy enough to leave massive breadcrumbs even Jake Shields can follow, which is the most implausible theory of all.
A reminder that Candace Owens doesn't believe dinosaurs existed.
She calls dinosaurs "fake and gay," and finds it suspicious that only paleontologists seem to be the ones finding their bones.
(Spoiler: it's because paleontologists know where to look and actually go on digs)
@cpgjosh Top Golf Members: “I like golf but no one’s going to tell me how to do it. I’ll do everything my way bc I’m a big baby and have an inflated ego that can’t handle just fitting in somewhere”
I think that if a woman says that she was raped 10 years after it happened and at exactly the moment that her rapist is running for public office, then that’s credible evidence that a rape occurred, but I would never, ever, ever allow myself to believe that five black teenagers running through the park in the middle of the night attacking people with pipes could possibly have been involved in a rape
@BigSwingTempo@cpgjosh But bro what if you just tucked your shirt in instead of being a big tough contrarian who gets his feelings hurt when someone tells him how to dress appropriately
