I Am Very Confused About the Stacey Abrams Photo

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Pounce, fellow Republicans, pounce! When comorbidity queen Stacey Abrams took a break from being Georgia’s fake governor to pose maskless before a classroom of mouth-thonged children, the regime media immediately identified the real problem – the problem was that people noticed. You are racist and sexist and definitely fatphobic for noticing. Except that in November all the lies and the slanders are not going to work, and they will pay for their hypocrisy.

Also, I was informed by smart people on Twitter – stop laughing – that those Canadian truckers honking their horns and disturbing the Canadian sissy class in their condos are committing literal violence. And I’m wondering why that’s wrong. I was informed that disruptive protests are a moral necessity. Or maybe it’s only wrong for us.

Local Hypocrite Poses in Front of Oppressed Kids

Real Georgia governor and election-denying insurrectionist Stacey Abrams visited a local classroom sometime between second breakfast and elevensies to support her campaign to become Georgia’s governor, as redundant as that may sound. Naturally, all the kids were gagged while the candidate posed for a picture beaming before them, in full Marie Antoinette mode right down to the eating of cake. When people noticed the contradiction between what this election-denying punchline says and what she does – masks for your kids but not for her Highness – her people deleted the photo and accused those of us who remarked upon it of all the usual secular sins. The media jumped in to. How dare the peasants remark upon the double standards!

This is a tiresome habit among the garbage ruling class – impose oppressive rules upon the masses, rules which have zero basis in science, but then huffily posture as the brave defenders of science and moral probity while actively ignoring those rules. Now, they know the rules are garbage, but they see no reason they should participate in the performance art that is the liberal pandemic reaction. And more than that, they enjoy exercising the power of not complying while rubbing our faces in it. This puts us in our place.

Her minions have tried to memory hole the picture of her unclad before the masked multitudes, but only because there is an election coming up and Georgia is still far to the right of Virginia, where the people of that blue state elected a Republican on a no mask/no CRT platform last November. She likes showing the proles she’s not bound to obey as they are, but she does not want to stir them up either. After all, the more of them vote against her because she’s a hypocrite, the harder her people will have to work to cheat her way into office.

That photo should fuel a thousand ads, not just in Georgia but everywhere. And if they call you racist, so what? They will anyway. People are sick of that crap too.

Literal Violence

Everything we do is literal violence it seems, including talking, thinking, and being. The only thing they don’t call literal violence is actual literal violence because we haven’t gotten to that point yet. But make no mistake –defining violence down to mean basically anything that leftists do not want us to do, while also justifying literally literal violence on the part of their commie catspaws, is a recipe for more violence than these saps can imagine.

That’s not a good thing, but it is a thing. You can’t create a rule that rules out any kind of action by your opponent in the service of your opponent making his views known, and then fail to observe that same rule for yourself. Hypocrisy gets noticed – see Governor Abrams and her famous photo above. In a civilization like ours, where order and rules are assumed to be in effect, you get a little grace period. People consider your violation to be an exception and still honor the old rule. But when they realize that the new rule is the actual rule, and that from here on out you’re a second-class citizen, then the problem starts.

People adapt to the new rules. We saw that in 2020 when leftist-supported scumbags ran rampant in an orgy of literal violence. They paid not price. What were folks taught? To push the envelope. Loud 24/7 honking is obnoxious – though hilarious – but it is an inevitable escalation. 

The idea we are somehow morally obligated to hold back as the commies rage is counter to human nature. But what does the ruling class know of human nature? The blue bubble is designed to suppress and hide human nature, with its bizarre and convoluted sets of rules and requirements. Let’s put it in stark terms – we are ruled by a class of people who mostly never kicked anyone’s ass or got their asses kicked in a school yard fight. If they did defend themselves, they got suspended too. That’s not human nature. That’s a fantasy world of neutered weenies constructed by the kind of middle-aged, divorced cat ladies who run our educational system.

They have never met someone who would beat the crap out of them if provoked. But normal people – we are surrounded by such people. We are such people. It’s probably best that the people who don’t stop simultaneously provoking the people who do while erasing the guardrails that keep the iron in the gun safes.

It’s literally suicidal. Stop it, leftists. Stop it now.
