56. Reminder: when positing an opinion, be sure to clear it with the cheerleaders first

Tue Nov 19, 2024, 03:02 PM

Tuesday

Because the first priority is always to make fellow Democrats feel stupid, and to his end, the cheerleaders are more than happy to assign themselves the role of Gatekeeping Arbiters of Truth.

They alone are qualified to assess reality! Thye alone are free to voice opinions! They alone Know What’s Going On! They alone are free to speak in figurative or hyperbolic terms, while the rest of us are required to post material able to withstand prolonged cross-examination by top flight constitutional lawyers.

Thank god the cheerleaders are here to remind us how much smarter they fancy themselves to be, so that we can bask in their brilliance while Trump runs roughshod over local, state and federal laws with impunity. In the meantime we can take comfort in the knowledge that the cheerleaders prevented anyone from exaggerating, because truly that’s the greatest crime of all.
