Save Energy: Stop The Gaslighting

Could it be? Has the pendulum arc finally reached the point where science demands it march back in the opposite direction? Could the Woke be waking?

Bill Maher was among the first to stir. He’s exhibited signs of breaking rank from the walking dead repeatedly over the past few years. Now he appears to be laying it all out all on the table.

Last night on Real Time with Bill Maher, the HBO host used his “New Rule” segment of the show to berate liberals for refusing to acknowledge the progress that has been made in America on racial and social issues. (Watch Full Segment Here)stewart progressophobia

“And yet there’s a recurrent theme on the far-left that things have never been worse!…“This is one of the big problems with wokeness,” he continued, “that what you say doesn’t have to make sense or jive with the facts or even be challenged lest the challenge be conflated with racism.’

“But saying that White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when The Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn’t stay at the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery?”

Wow, he almost makes me remember back in the day when people were free to disagree with anyone. Back before the prevalent reaction to anything perceived to be heretical was “stop with the logic, and the people, and stuff!”

And now, here comes Jon Stewart, the Millennials’ most beloved political guru, speaking heresy on Stephen Colbert’s first live-audience show since the Chinese Murder Virus came to town. He sends Colbert into near apoplexy when he cuts loose with the truth about that “Wuhan Lab Conspiracy.”

SC:  “What do you mean — do you mean perhaps there’s a chance this was created in a lab? If there’s evidence I’d love to hear it.”

JS:  “A chance? Oh my god, there’s a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab!”

Seriously, what does it mean that Jon Stewart is the Left’s most logical voice? I really think the Left might want to reflect on that question a little.

Still, at least someone acknowledged the truth; better late than never I guess. It’s just that you – and corporate media - are a little more than a year behind the actual information curve. The source of the virus was known as The Wuhan Novel Respiratory Coronavirus Lab in January of 2020 as well.Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology_main_entrance

But goodness, I do hope Jon realizes that speaking truth to the overlords – or worse, proving that PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN! - comes with a price. And I’d just like to be the first to say “Jon Stewart didn’t kill himself.”

Maher and Stewart are so old school they probably remember when political satire was a real thing and not just a woke parody of political satire. Possibly they too are thinking it’s time to turn off the gas lights and get back to work. There’s an idea.

I believe the government is allowing BLM and Antifa to riot and destroy in hopes of instigating a Conservative backlash.

This way they can say “See! See! Whites are terrorists!”

Once they do, then will come the Government backed crushing of the Conservative movements.

You may [and probably do] have a point. But what happens when and if the Government runs out of patience. In other words, the Conservative Movement does not take the bait. The Washington, D.C. jails are currently overflowing with Patriots and the Gestapo is still rounding up victims. I understand that there are some because I read their posts that said they deserve what they are getting. But......
