I Told You So, Jerks
Townhall ^ | Nov 08, 2023 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 11/08/2023 8:52:49 PM PST by george76

Let me begin by saying to all you leftists that I told you so.

Lots of leftists are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are mad that they are now being treated like people who support raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. Apparently, this is a terrible attack on free speech and McCarthyism and probably Islamophobic and transphobic and is the worst thing ever since the last thing that was the worst thing ever.

Well, I think it’s kind of funny.

They are mad and accuse us conservatives of now embracing cancel culture. You can argue about the definition of cancel culture, but I’m not going to bother because I am totally indifferent to anything leftists tell me. Maybe it’s cancel culture and maybe it’s not. I don’t care. I just want supporters of raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans to be driven from civilized society for supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. I think that’s a reasonable position to take in light of all the circumstances.

Of course, one of the key circumstances is the existence of the New Rules. Now, understand that I was against the New Rules where people’s political views would cause them to be driven from their jobs and relationships and polite society in general. I strongly supported the notion that people should be free to be able to say whatever they thought with no organized, systematic repercussions. It was called tolerance, and it worked pretty well.

...

Obviously, if you’re a black guy and a job applicant comes in wearing the form-fitting pointy cap of the Democrat-founded KKK, I’m thinking you probably wouldn’t hire him. But I’m thinking that society would have been better off if we had continued to honor the norm that what you think about politics should generally be put aside from what you do on the job and in your interpersonal relationships. I thought this was a really good way to do things and I thought we should keep doing it that way.

But I lost that argument. I was overruled. People on the left decided that no, we have a lot of trouble supporting our terrible and gross ideas, so we’re going to try to intimidate people by taking action against their jobs and ability to live in our society in order to get them to conform to our communist worldview. I thought this was a terrible idea. I argued long and hard that our society should not embrace this paradigm. I said that we should keep the Old Rules and not substitute these New Rules. I also pointed out, very specifically, that the New Rules would end up biting the left on their collective Schumer.

But I was ignored. I was outvoted, to the extent there was a vote and not just sort of a consensus decision by the elite imposing the New Rules upon the rest of us. I tried. I argued long and hard against it. I warned people that there would be consequences and they might not like how it ended up. But I lost.

Our culture decided to embrace the New Rules, where economic and cultural power would be leveled against people whose views were determined to be repellent by the cultural curators. And the leftists loved it. They thought it was the greatest thing ever. They enjoyed their petty tyranny over normal people. Normal people got fired for questioning, for example, the utter nonsense of alleged systematic racism. People got driven out of jobs for making political contributions to designated bad causes, which were always conservative causes. One guy, some kind of lineman for a power company, even got fired for making the OK symbol with his fingers. Apparently, this meant he loved Hitler somehow, though apparently loving Hitler is currently cool with the leftists.

They just enjoyed the power that they were able to leverage to make people afraid and conform. They enjoyed the New Rules because it was fun to hurt people who they didn’t like. Until the New Rules got applied to them. Then it was not so fun. Then it sucked, for them.

It’s probably petty to point out that I told you so, but I told you so.

Normal people are disgusted by the sight of leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are applying the applicable rules, which are the New Rules. Oops. Suddenly, the leftists are experiencing what leftists have been imposing on other people – except leftists actually deserve the treatment. Normal people see leftist celebrating savagery and are thinking, “You know, these people suck, and I want them to suffer.” So leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans are getting exposed and fired. There are Twitter accounts devoted to identifying the leftists who are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, including the spoiled jerks who rip up pictures of kidnapped kids because they don’t like having the reality of what they support made public.

They are losing their gigs, and it’s got to be a sigh of relief for the rest of us. You have doctors talking about how Jews are awful, and I’m not sure those are the kind of people you want treating patients. And you have other people too, models and artists and other schmucks, and they’re losing their gigs too. They are very sad.

Well, I told you so.

College professors and regime media hacks are complaining that we have a new McCarthyism. Good! McCarthy was right. The American government was riddled with communists, and there should be a giant statue of 'Tail Gunner Joe' in DC with flowers strewn upon it. When these commies cry “McCarthyism!” I don’t think of bigotry against dissenting points of views. I think of being brd and seeing how a lot of people in positions of authority are either leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans or are tolerant of leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans.

If McCarthyism means seeing that there are bad people in positions of power in our culture, society, and government, and that they must be driven from it, count me in. If cleansing public life of the Hamas toe-suckers is the goal, I wish to score.

This gets me called a “hypocrite” on social media, but it’s technically wrong. I’m not a hypocrite, because I was always against what was called “cancel culture.” But I lost that argument. I’m just going with the flow. All hail the New Rules!

Now, just as I predicted, the people behind the New Rules are taking this like a five pointed suppository. I just want to say to them, as they cry, that I told you so.

I told you so.

I told you so.

Your tears amuse me.

I told you so.

I’ve always thought that being a democrat in these days and times is an indictment of that persons judgement.

Yes, but it’s also a clear indication of a severe and debilitating psychosis. In other words, such people are mentally ill!

I don’t always read the full commentary but I definitely read this one to the end. The only thing I will add is that this has been summarized in God’s Word: Light has no fellowship with darkness. Even conservatives who do not profess a faith in Christ are understanding that the left is evil and supports all forms of evil. It took us all a long time to see it, but what is seen can no longer be unseen.

“The only thing these pro Hamas people fear is being identified and doxed.”

I haven’t noticed that. They seem to be in your face and blatant on the subject.

semi humans, no savages. We are gripped by mental illness and thier demand that we entertain thier mental illness which is a protected class now and demanded by the coup regime in charge.. We have dealt with the coming up of the 60’s drug induced coma activists who are now adults, what do we have in store for us all when these numbnuts become adults if this is possible

“Are you trying to be funny or are you really that stupid?”

That is a really good question! Hoping he just forgot the /s tag.

The whole problem with lashing out against the leftists is that they don't need to care, because they know we'll help them even as we complain about them.

We'll continue to pay for TV and pour our money into their coffers with our TV subscriptions, even as they lie about us and Trump and filter out anything bad about their side.

We'll continue to patronize leftist companies even as they suppress our voices for the convenience of getting our products the same day.

They saw how we talked about American values like capitalism and God, but sent our manufacturing, technology, and money to a communist nation that oppresses the church just to save a few pennies. I know some conservatives opposed the free trade deals with the Chicoms, but too many supported them. The fact that they were on the same side as Clinton, Gore, and Biden on this issue should have told them something, but they were seduced by the prospect of more toys for cheaper prices. We could have put a stop to that right from the start, but we chose saving a few pennies over our own children's future. Now, good luck trying to choose American made alternatives to anything.

This is why the left is winning. No matter how much we talk about our conservative values, we'll abandon them at a moment's notice just to have the latest thing or watch the latest show.

The writer pointed out that he doesn't care what leftists think, but they don't care what we think either. They don't need to, because they know they can count on us to keep buying from them even as we complain about them.

This is why op-eds like this will have no impact on them.

The article is referring to Joseph McCarthy, not Kevin.

I think he’s spot on all the way through.
Our ‘side’ has spent decades insufficiently ‘wound up’ to battle the devolution happening all around us.
