But Charlie Kirk was fine commenting fucked up stuff about Paul Pelosi's attack? Including saying we should bail out the attacker that tried to murder him?
I'm so sick of this DARVO bullshit at a national level.
More critically, Joe Biden and his DOJ were fine enough with it not to bother pursuing the fascist hate-mongers flinging smears. Democrats had the power to do something and choose to do nothing.
We still have a multitude of Democrats in gubernatorial office and large paramilitary police forces which could be deployed to crack down on fascist media, financiers, and militant agitators. A few of them have been quite outspoken in their commitment to defending marginalized people from the national fascist movement (Pritsker in Illinois, Evers in Wisconsin, and Walz in Minnesota).
But if you want the DARVO to stop, there's got to be some kind of price for it. National media isn't stepping up. If anything, they're more than happy to play along and feed on it. Too many Dems (Gavin Newsom and Chuck Schumer most vulgarly) seem ready to roll over and let Republicans kick them. Gotta push back and start feeding them their own knuckle sandwiches or all you get is bolder bullies.
I agree with what you said, I just want to dig down a little deeper into how right you are about this specific point:
collapsed inline media
This is from Ezra Klein at the NYT who, just a few days ago, was chiding the Democrats about how ineffective they are, how they needed to force a government shutdown and surely the media would report on it fairly and listen to and promote the Democrat's message, should they do this. He literally titled his piece "Stop Acting Like This Is Normal."
collapsed inline media
What a crock of shit. Eat shit, Ezra Klein. This is you, literally pretending that the horrible gaslighting and bad faith argumentation that Charlie Kirk took part in was normal. Klein, I hope you rot with gonorrhea in hell.
It's not even the media proper! So many supposed liberals are acting like he didn't deserve it, it makes my blood boil.
This is you disparaging the First Amendment, not defending it. There's a good reason they weren't prosecuted for that.
What's the point of opposing MAGA policies when you pine for them yourself?
