The hard part about the left is that they have followers. And the hard part about being on the right is we cannot really understand how that's so. And I think that it may just come down to this: Most of the right (I'm generalizing...) believes in the American system, and they also believe that there is a God and that human beings are made in his image. Some of the left believe this, too. But most now, at least outwardly, do not. And so they turn to their gods--and find all of them in the shape of a hammer and sickle.
I will take the moderate Dems and independents who will cross over to avoid voting for Anti-American, Anti-Semitic Marxists / Progressives. The Left can keep their influencers and those who would follow them. There is no winning them over, anyway, without completely compromising American values. There are, in fact, conservative followers of quality influencers like those in the TPUSA organization, though it was infinitely more powerful with Charlie Kirk at the head. Most of those following Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are the same who follow Piker. So there is no real loss there. They are evil hearted and don't belong on the right.
It is effective and the Left hates it. Consider their reaction at SOU speeches by Trump when he brings out the victims of liberal policies, like the mothers of raped murder victims. Those words from the victims burn them like hot cinders.
Honestly I don’t recognize anything these people promote as culture..in any way.
It is understandable how the Left Cancel culture hurts those seeking to appeal to a broad audience. However, what happens if we STOP PAYING ATTENTION to any of their garbage?
The movies are feeling the pain of a lack of audience, and music seems to be splintering as well.
A more robust INDEPENDENT media is helping; that said, we “normies/common sense” types should IGNORE these people.
Robby Starbuck made it work against Anheuser Busch and many other “pride promoting” businesses. Can’t we do this for supposed (and tired, imho) cultural “icons”? Seems like most of them are about age 13 emotionally, and even less well informed educationally.
Speaking of being “cancelled”, i am getting lots of Hate on FB for daring to post that Fauci is guilty as shit and is a lethally dangerous sociopathic malignant narcissist - guilty of crimes against humanity.
These people STILL literally worship him - just as Sasha wrote in her recent piece on the Cult of Fauci.
Quite literally if you don’t worship him and dare to say what many of us know to be true, you WILL be cancelled.
You can read them Fauci’s own words, where he admits lying his ass off and how he did not think the policies he pushed would work, and they still think he’s inviolable.
Should the Save Act be reintroduced to include those impervious to facts as disqualifying to vote?
I doubt it is a majority. But the GenX generation that parented the GenZs definitely failed to prepare them for this world, coddled and left them vulnerable to this world. My Millennial kids sure do not think or act this way. When I got a whiff that they were being influenced, I shut it down through education
A CNN poll I just reviewed puts the number of DSA adherents at 33% of the Democrat party, or maybe 12% of the electorate. Still too many, but there is an equal number of Democrats, 33%, who WON'T vote for DSA candidates who will stay home on election day or vote for the R
When you say facts do you mean like David Hearn where the Trump administration prosecuted Hearn for vandalism and Trump publicly promoted the vandalism narrative, while his administration ultimately acknowledged that the underlying pool damage was caused by a botched renovation not vandalism, unless you consider Trump raiding the gov’t purse to pay friends who did the repair work facts.
Yes, it's important not to put oneself into a role dependent on idiots. But one needs to fight back against that like JK and SS. Justice is a better currency than $$$.
If incompetents like the Far Left end up running anything, they will crash and burn as leaders. If no one follows them, their enterprise will close down. Competent people should do nothing to validate extremists. Let them hang themselves
I disagree with the statement that the right doesn't have the power the left has. Tell that to Chik Fila. After tge CEO said in a Christian magazine that he supported traditional marriage, the rainbow community came after them with a boycott. So conservatives flocked to the restaurant, elevated it to a major brand over night. Then there was Bud Light. The right votes with dollars.
Bernie Sanders, AOC, Schumer, will do anything, ANYTHING for votes, power, and money. They won’t stand up to Piker because they want to stay elected and saying something negative about him will get him unelected.
Difference between him and Fuentes, Candace, or this new iteration of Tucker, is that Piker represents the new Dem party “base” (enthusiastic voters and fund raisers). The “right wing” versions of Piker represent some fringe. Republican “base” is squish corporatists (the money raisers), but increasingly more the middle class blue collar (former Dem base). Neither group cares for Fuentes/Owens/Carlson.
As far as the interviewers giving Sanders and AOC “tough” questions: LOL. Asking them to disavow Piker because he applauds 9-11 is handing them prize money. Half the “new” Dem base (radical quasi-Marxist nihilists, manically depressed white female college grads, sexual exhibitionists, and Islamicists) fully agrees with Piker on that one - openly! A “tough” question would be asking if they support Piker’s comments about sending Jewish people back to Auschwitz, acceptability of r@ping women, or denigrating black people. Those would be tough questions, and frankly I’d like to hear what AOC, Bernie, and Schumer have to say about those reported and publicized Piker quotes …
Two can play this game. The conservative right NEVER cancels anyone, as I reminded another commenter here. Maybe that should change. I am a believer that if you are punched in the face, you better punch back even harder. That is how you deal with a bully: you give them back their own medicine and in spades. They might think twice in the future about bullying. There are plenty of spaces in America that are owned by conservatives. I have noticed that Fox News gives liberals, even Leftists, a lot of space to speak their piece. Those words are generally respected. Maybe that should change. Why give Leftists another platform? Cut them off. This might also be true of other networks owned or bought by conservatives. Musk did this once with Twitter. Maybe he and other billionaires can buy a couple other networks and platforms: Disney, NBC, etc. The Left will just create more Blueskys, but that is just talking at each other and not changing the culture of America.
The proverbial punch in the face needs to happen more often. We are exactly where we are because moderate people have said nothing to reject this bullshit for far too long.

Followers? More like Borgish lockstep. It's really hard for The Rest of Us to combat.
Yeah, that's just it. Liberty of the individual is too hard for the left. They would rather be tugged by the nose-ring.
If you want to incite the left, do as I have done and go on any online forum and state “Either you believe in American Exceptionalism or you don’t.”
It drives them insane.
That is a fine idea.
In a few words it simply illustrates the main difference between the left and the right without getting into policy or detail.
Everything flows from that premise.
I have yet to meet anyone with a septum piercing who is not a leftist.
More like Orcs

Ahh to only hope that people will demand refunds of their tickets due to the change of cast. If only ticket sales would plummet, one can only dream….
That fucker needed to be cancelled when he electrocuted his dog.
Anybody who puts a shock collar on a dog should be fitted with one himself and the button given to his ex
Piker should be allowed to speak. More speech, not less. Even that which I disagree with, which includes this guy.
But there should be a response to Piker's speeches, showing the pain and suffering of millions by those evil tyrants who inspire Piker
Yes, and those voices should be allowed to speak as well. Speech I do agree with.
It is effective and the Left hates it. Consider their reaction at SOU speeches by Trump when he brings out the victims of liberal policies, like the mothers of raped murder victims. Those words from the victims burn them like hot cinders.
His words indict him. He's too arrogant to realize that. Let him speak.
Perhaps electrocution was a faster way to cook it then eat it.
"the Left’s totalitarian Doomsday Cult"
Nailed it.

What do you say to a country whose majority of young adults admire Hasan Piker?
You say goodbye. We're doomed
I've taken to recommending the Teacher Therapy channel on YouTube. Most enlightening.
I doubt it is a majority. But the GenX generation that parented the GenZs definitely failed to prepare them for this world, coddled and left them vulnerable to this world. My Millennial kids sure do not think or act this way. When I got a whiff that they were being influenced, I shut it down through education
The polls I see put it at 60 plus percent.
A CNN poll I just reviewed puts the number of DSA adherents at 33% of the Democrat party, or maybe 12% of the electorate. Still too many, but there is an equal number of Democrats, 33%, who WON'T vote for DSA candidates who will stay home on election day or vote for the R
Sasha, spot on! Exposing the hypocricsy of the left is a full time job. With overtime but few benefits. The work never ends. You’re the best!
I wonder how to debate people for whom facts mean nothing?
Their only purpose or belief is oppose Trump.
They truly are living in 1984.
When you say facts do you mean like David Hearn where the Trump administration prosecuted Hearn for vandalism and Trump publicly promoted the vandalism narrative, while his administration ultimately acknowledged that the underlying pool damage was caused by a botched renovation not vandalism, unless you consider Trump raiding the gov’t purse to pay friends who did the repair work facts.

you can't. Don't even try
If leftists didn’t have double standards, would they have any standards at all?
One is free to be an idiot in the USA. They're easy to ignore.
Not when they cancel you and your livelihood depends upon public access.
Yes, it's important not to put oneself into a role dependent on idiots. But one needs to fight back against that like JK and SS. Justice is a better currency than $$$.

I'm watching the show 'Silo' and it reminds me of the current democrat party.
Bounced from LinkedIn by Hoffman's goons for posting Dr. Peter McCullough's early treatment protocols for C19. The Left fears the truth.
Please get the numbers correct, - it's Covid1984....
LinkedIn is a clown show now. They are constantly hounding me to follow their “leaders” like Barack Obama for ex.
Not happening. It was supposed to be a business networking site, not a platform for the unhinged politics of Reid Hoffman.
I dropped Linkedin a year ago.

What are these folks going to do when Trump is out of office in 2029?
That hate machine needs to be continually fed.

Would that these people would back down, but they won't until they eradicate anything that impedes them...meaning us.
