the most destructive movement of the last ten years wasn't just wokism. it was the media's lockstep anti-trumpism. think about all the horrible decisions related to the biggest calamities we faced. they were excused or denied by the media, because of their irrational opposition to trump. the biggest examples:
-Crime. if you admitted that progressive policies energized criminality and cost many innocent lives - that would put you on the side of Trump. So you can't do that, decides the media. so theft and violence became routine. recidivism exploded.
-immigration. if you admitted that unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country's systems, as well as introducing more violent crime - that would put you on the side of trump. you can't do that - decides the media. So it kept going, and people died.
-Covid. if you admitted that Covid came from China, likely a lab leak - then you were on the side of Trump. So you can' do that either - that would be racist, said the media. instead we embraced absurd notions about bat soup.
-Biden. if you admitted he was unfit for office, and reported on it honestly - you were siding with trump. So you can't do that - in fact - you must say that Joe is better than ever, and those who disagree are cruel, ending up with a rudderless country sinking in chaos.
Looking back - its obvious. A mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink.
So when the media starts hitting the panic button, laugh at them. They caused this mess. We'll clean it up. They no longer matter.
Congratulations @Big_un. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists!
@Big_un What is the most difficult lesson you learned after moving out of your parent’s house?
My daughter and I took a guided bike tour, a group of 13, out into the countryside. We stopped at a family farm. The wooden shoe presentation was very entertaining.
John and the Mob Boss
John was serving as a jury member in a high-profile gangster trial. The mob boss's underlings approached John with threats and a bribe:
"There's no way a death sentence will be passed. At worst, it'll be a life sentence." Shaken, John agrees. The trial proceeds, and the jury is sequestered. Hours turn into days, then a week...
Finally, the jury returns with their decision:
"Life imprisonment."
The gang members are thrilled. The boss grins at John, and as his men hand John $10,000, they praise him, "Great job, you've truly earned this. But what took so long? Was it tough to persuade the others?"
John sighs and says...
"You wouldn't believe it! Right from the start, they were all set on acquittal. It was a nightmare convincing them for a life imprisonment!"
