I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive, and it was only today that I learned the Kyle Rittenhouse victims were white. My progressive bubble made this seem like a very different case than it is.

That, or if found Not Guilty by a jury he, a free man, would thenceforth nevertheless indelibly have been tatooed with the Scarlet Letter, the larger society’s separate verdict of guilt, appropriately so in the case of Orenthal James Simpson, tragically and wrongly so in the case of White Hispanic George Zimmerman.

We shouldn’t condemn someone for realizing they were in a bubble and they are starting to get critical about what the establishment tells them.

OK, you're right on this... lots of us got to where we are by first realizing how insane the left was... But once we're hear it's easy to be intolerant of people who took so long to figure it out.

Not a good reflection on education.

He’ll be welcome on a lot of places in this country. There are towns in Idaho where he would never have to buy a beer.

What I realized, reading about people who do not realize the attackers are white, is that in high-profile cases the press usually prints (and re-prints ad nauseam) nice pictures of the “victims” smiling and playing with kittens, etc., right?

The fact that few know the attackers were white means they have not been showing those nice pictures of them.

But, no, they are not biased...

“How can people be this dumb?”

The Portland public school curriculum model would be my guess. Schools often use teaching styles from other cities.

I read further down her feed and she stated she had been successfully gaslit. She has now been red-pilled. We should welcome her to the club.

I follow her account on Twitter. It's actually growing fast.

She was a liberal lawyer/mom from California who became red-pilled over Covid mitigation measures, which she believed hurt kids. When she started sharing her opinions, she became persona non grata on her liberal lawyer/mom Facebook group.

Once she realized they were lying to her about Covid, she started wondering what else they've been lying to her about.

Women like her were instrumental in flipping Virginia red. Covid red-pilled a lot of once liberal moms. There's many on the Left now questioning their political identity.

“If she is highly educated, she should be extremely insulted at how dumb the media and the left think she is.”

You’d think so, yes.

But educated is not the same things as intelligent, perceptive or wise.

"I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive..."

Sadly, this is not only one of those "All evidence to the contrary" moments, AND a sad commentary on our main stream media, but also a stunning indictment of our educational system! What ever happened to the "Who, What, When, Where, How and Why" criteria for critical thinking?

Also, did you know that out of the thousands of people on the street that night, that the three men shot ALL had criminal records? Mostly for violence and criminally aggressive behavior including forced sodomy of a minor? TBH I don't care what race or nationality they were, the bottom line is they attacked, threatened, unrelentingly chased, beat with a skateboard and pointed a loaded, chambered pistol at the head of this man (the only adult in the room imho).

In the media's efforts to paint Rittenhouse as a white supremacist, it helps if the general public continues believing the men he killed were black.

Perhaps it’s time you broaden your news sources beyond CNN and the NYT?

I will bet that HALF of BLM believe the victims were black, St. Floyd’s brother or cousin who took to Twitter warning of unrest in the streets if he was found innocent, I will bet a years salary that IDIOT thinks the victims were black!!

It is the exact same for Covid also.

Never anything coherent or integrated or comprehensive.

And the Zimmster? Whose “victim” was in fact, and not by myth, black? Who pays his bar tab?
