As a long-suffering California Republican, I have engaged the radical left for the past couple decades and have found their modus operandi to be this; create a caricature of their opponents, and demand that said opponents defend said caricature. Racist, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, ageist, on and on and on. Who among us, over the past handful of years has not been tarnished by the broad brush of these ad hominem claims?
You and I know they're nonsense, but it seemed the more we argued against the claims, the more the general populace seemed to accept them as truth. If we ignored them, we accepted their validity. If we defended ourselves, we acknowledged their validity — a vicious catch-22.
Sadly, in California, this M.O. has worked like a charm. Republicans have all but ceded power to the Left and now have no power to thwart the leftist agenda. With Barack Obama's ascension, leftists began "community organizing" this tactic on a national level. Pols, celebrities, activist groups (LGBTQ, Antifa, labor unions, etc.), and media have helped to further this lie with their drumbeat of false assertions.
Enter Jussie Smollett, a prototypical Trump-deranged leftist. While he orchestrated a hate crime hoax on a grand scale, the reality is that his is only the latest such hoax to rear its ugly head.
The Daily Caller has compiled a list of Trump-era hate crime hoaxes:

Aside from the recent Covington event, most of these hoaxes have flown under the radar.
They created a lie that MAGA really means racism, hate etc. and now they have to create HOAXES to prove it true. Of course, media gets giddy when a possible MAGA HATE CRIME erupts and they go breaking news way too soon......but OH the possibilities, just can’t help themselves.
Whenever one of these things happens use the term over and over again to laugh at them until the fakestream presttitutes decide Smolletting is not a good tactic for them to pursue.
Which is the better verb:
YOU’VE BEEN SMOLLETED!
or
YOU’VE BEEN JUSSIED!
BTTT
Jussie sounds like Jessie and isn’t that unique.
Smollett is unique, and everybody who doesn’t live under a rock will make the connection.
I’m going to use it.
LeBron’s posse should be on that list, but nobody really followed up on it.
The only thing that will NOT come out of this is failure-to-outrage at the next incident.
Come on.
The MSM got a week of wall-to-wall content out of this and it ain’t over by a long shot.
They are STILL talking about Trumps’ comments wrt Charlottesville. Maybe a dozen goofballs with Nazi flags. 1.5 years ago. From that was the relentless campaign to take down every Confed statue. A priceless paradigm, never to be abandoned.
There is NOTHING that will get the left to shut up about their prize possessions, and victimology is right up there among their jewels. Especially when whatever “realization” this article is talking about occurs on a subtle “hey, maybe this is all a bunch of BS” basis whereas the NEXT incident will immutably be another MSM 24/7 beat-the-dead horse for a week or more.
There is no “shut up” to the left because there is no shame and there is no motivation to speak the truth. There is only that which advances the cause.

“YOU’VE BEEN SMOLLETED!”
That doesn’t pass the Smollet Test!!!!
A few summers ago [2016 or 2017] a local Mosque building had graffiti painted on it and anti-Islamic slurs. [St. Cloud, MN].
About a week later a man was arrested for the crime and it turned out to be a Muslim male of the Somali community. Turned out he loved beer and was a bit drunk that night [or so he said].
While this was in the local news, I doubt that the people in the Twin Cities ever heard about the resolution of this so-called hate crime.
Smollettov cocktail : Throw it and hope to burn down cities.
excellent! stolen
We have no idea how many fake hate crimes never get found out.
We don’t even know how many people have been wrongly convicted of hate crimes.
Jussie Smollett was apparently looking for two random white guys to “swear to God” were the ones who beat him up while wearing MAGA hats and says racist, “homophobic”, and pro-Trump comments.
I can imagine some places where two completely innocent white guys could have been picked up, charged, and convicted for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
