Sometimes revealing a communist is a little like taking off a Band-Aid. You’ve got to pick at the edges a little bit until you can get enough gripped to rip it off.
It has been a decade since Jonah Goldberg and I had our back-and-forth editorial debate about “modern republicanism.” [He lost both a massive number of readers and credibility.] In the years since, we are both exactly the same people; the only difference is – his mask has completely dropped and he’s no longer pretending.
In this brutally perfect appearance on his new network gig, CNN, Jonah Goldberg, the pontificating pustule of totalitarian elitism, declares the “small donor” influence in the Republican Party, ie. MAGA and working class grassroots support, is the problem for those (private club) corporate officers who have high-minded control.
...”I just also think that we are dealing with a time, where for a lot of people, there’s a lot of people cheering and self-congratulation about the rise of small donors a decade ago. And now small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for, well, democracy in the GOP. Because, um, large donors have a strategic view about moderation, who can win and who can’t. Small donors really are just venting their spleen with their credit card, and they lock candidates into positions that can hurt them in the general election.”…

There is a particular brand of GOPe hypocrisy around a worldview that spouts unbridled capitalism as the solution to all the economic woes [NOTE: in reality, they really don’t believe that, but they pretend not to be advocates of massive conglomerate corporatism], and yet they rail against the unwashed masses having a voice in the democratic process.
As our “Last Refuge” of liberty noted years ago, the ushers in conservative media were/are really closeted communists. Identically aligned and elite minded sanctimonious frauds, loading sheep onto intellectual cattle cars. The professional Republicans don’t believe in conserving anything other than the power structure that produces their affluence and influence.
Peel the skin off a professional Republican, and you will find a communist demanding you sit quietly, then insert vote, pull lever, take your pellet, shut up and leave the building. That’s who they are.
The best, and I do mean absolutely the best and greatest thing about Donald J. Trump, is how he forced all the professional Republican snipers to reveal their positions.
Jonah Goldberg is a stinkin’, goddamned Zeeper. A lower form of life than a Zeeper has never drug its protesting bulk across the fair face of Earth.
Hey Jonah, Go Die In a Fire!
This contemptible buffoon is shilling for the rich men north of Richmond.
His mother would be appalled!
The ultimate destination of moving from fiery individual donors to big money donors is to move to public financing of elections. Candidates will get too much money to ever risk biting the hand that feeds them and the laws governing use of that money will be so Byzantine that every candidate will be guilty of a life sentence worth of crimes and it is only a matter of whether they are good little deep staters who the Do”J” will ignore or if the are eeeevil MAGA types who should be thrown in prison before the election or trial.
aka “JarJar Fatberg”...
Same thing with Ann Coulter. Tell people they’re geniuses long enough and they start to think they are -— if they didn’t already think they were before.
P.S. Which side are the “zeepers”? All I find on the internet is urban library’s definition: “A sophisticated concoction of German wheat beer and carbonated ginger drink rimmed with raw organic honey and a squeeze of lemon.” Yum.
Arrogant anal pustule
If not for his mother Lucianne, Jonah would be cleaning toilets at Trump Tower.
His mother pulled strings to get him hired at National Review. He has ALWAYS been a “Fredo” as much as Chris Cuomo and Jay Paterno. Leaching on parents legacy to get anywhere.
‘zeepers’ is the name given to anyone who supports Ukraine by people who support Russia, directly or indirectly.
Thanks. I figured it might have something to do with the war, but it wasn’t clear to me who was insulting who.
Ever notice how to some Freepers, everything is a Ukraine thread?
