From John Pavlovitz:
Evil dies hard.
Right now, we’re finding out just how hard.
For the last four years good people told ourselves a necessary story.
Because we wanted to believe the best about humanity, many of us clung to a false narrative of otherwise decent people hopelessly swept up in the fervor of the moment: good human beings intoxicated in the bloody water of a feeding frenzy power-grab, eyes rolled back and unable to do anything but consume.
We wanted to believe it was a temporary condition.
We imagined that if he were gone, that once this messianic monster was removed and severed from them, that those around him would begin to come to their senses and the thick haze of their sycophantic adoration would lift and they would slowly but certainly revert to their better natures.
But now we’re realizing the most painful truth of all the lessons of these years: this is simply who they are.
Ah, once again the good reverend cannot see for the beam stuck in his own eye.
I stand in solidarity with those that abhor the violence done in the capitol by thugs; same as I did when many on the left were absent in their condemnation as our cities were burned and looted, while people were injured or killed by “peaceful protesters” hiding in fascist Antifa and BLM ranks. I loathe racism directed towards people of color for any reason. I also deplore the racism of Ibram Kendi’s anti-racism, which is an anathema to everything that Dr. King stood for. No longer do we judge people by the content of the their character but rather specifically by the color of their skin. In other words, by Kendi’s philosophy, I am white and therefore I am racist.
The overwhelming majority of conservatives share these same values that I do, including nearly all of the protesters at the capitol on 1/6 who likewise condemned the attacks by thugs hiding in their ranks. So I wonder what remedy the good pastor has in mind for eradicating the evil of conservativism. Does he agree with Katie Couric, AOC, the staff lawyer from PBS, and other leftist elites that conservatives must be “re-educated” and “deprogrammed”? That we should have our children removed from us for this purpose? I wonder if he realizes the evil that has been done by other leftists with such “good intentions” for the greater good? Does he realize that Joe Biden’s business partner of China today is “re-educating” Muslim Uighurs in their internment camps? Does he know they are being exterminated? Does he care?
I completely acknowledge that Trump is a deeply flawed and imperfect person and former president, despite the huge amount of good he did for America, especially Americans of color and the poor.
That already stands in great contrast to the enormous damage Biden is doing to American jobs, the economy, and national security after only a week in office. But, “Big Guy” Biden has a (D) after his name, so the good pastor will give Biden a pass. After all, only conservatives are evil and needing to be eradicated… errr… “reformed”, right Pastor Pavlovitz?
Even Driftglass in the preceding article states, “…Republicans from the very top of the party right down to the street where you live will always be American-hating fascists.”
And what is the tolerant and woke left to do about American-hating fascists (Republicans)? As Dave Dubya has repeatedly informed me, we are enemies of democracy. I shudder to think what kind of “final solution” the left thinks they have in store for us conservatives that pose such a grave danger to remnants of our no-longer constitutional republic. After all, if conservatives are such a grave and fascistic danger to humanity, what other choice do enlightened leftists have? Its for the greater good.
I’ve learned many lessons from Darrell.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that Darrell sees the deep flaw in Rev. Pavlovitz’s thinking. What is the beam blocking from his vision? Darrell won’t tell.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that Darrell clearly sees; that Trump won the election by a landslide, but it was stolen from him. How? Darrell won’t tell, and won’t identify his unnamed “experts”.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that the terrorist mob, Darrell and Trump are all victims who bravely defend the Constitution, Republic and democracy.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that the Republican Party has done everything possible to encourage and support minority representation, voter registration and poll access.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that Darrell is in imminent danger of being sent by socialists to a re-education camp, just for knowing Trump won the election.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that only white conservatives condemned the criminal behavior that occurred after the “peaceful protesters” went home.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that BLM and other “peaceful protesters” were all thugs and burned down entire cities.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that fascist antifa (Fascist Anti-fascist)? and fascist BLM (Fascist Marxists?) are fascists who pick on wholesome White anti-fascist gangs like Proud Boys, 3%ers and Oath Keepers.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that wholesome White anti-fascist gangs like Proud Boys, 3%ers and Oath Keepers were not among the terrorist thugs swarming the Capitol.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that conservative white men like Darrell are the real experts on racism, and know much better than a Black man with PhD in African American Studies from Temple University. (After all, Darrell matriculated at Prager U.)
The beam in my eye blinds me to the racism that calls Darrell a racist.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the fact that Darrell and White conservatives are the real victims of racism.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the racism of Ibram Kendi’s anti-racism, and the “not racism” of Donald Trump, because he and Darrell are the least racist persons ever.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that Donald Trump had nothing to do with inciting his cult’s insurrection.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that Trump’s tweet, “Be there, will be wild!” and his calm peaceful rhetoric, “Fight like hell, march to the Capitol, stop the steal, and take our country back” had no effect on the mob’s behavior.
The beam in my eye blinds me to the truth that state election certification boards can’t be trusted, secretaries of states can’t be trusted, voters can’t be trusted, poll workers can’t be trusted, voting machines can’t be trusted, Bill Barr can’t be trusted, Romney and McConnell can’t be trusted, Trump’s director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Christopher Krebs can’t be trusted, lower courts can’t be trusted, appellate courts can’t be trusted and the Supreme Court can’t be trusted…but Donald Trump can be trusted.
In his informed and profound wisdom, Darrell knows everything I don’t know. He clearly sees and understands what the beam in my eye blinds me from ever seeing and understanding.
How do I know all this? As with Donald Trump, and every other very special enlightened true conservative, Darrell has no beam in his eye.
Without Trump, Darrell and Trump’s terrorist traitors, who would speak out and defend democracy from a stolen election and an illegitimate president?
The majority of Americans have been been duped by the fake news by the enemies of the people! I mean, how could a president as popular and loved as Trump LOSE? He had rallies!
Darrell understand if you demand evidence of massive voter fraud and illegal votes, you hate America. And you want to send Darrell to a reeducation gulag for knowing the truth that Trump and his terrorists know.
Massive fraud! Millions of illegal votes! Trump won! Stop the steal Don’t tread on me!
I mean, when has Darrell ever erred in judgment or been misinformed? And when has Trump EVER lied to us??
