Why indeed?

Now, this is not an instance of Chuckles here saying something stupid and someone else reposting it with an uncharitable re-interpretation in classic Twitter fashion. This is the actual stupid thing he said in the video the tweet was reposting. I know, I watched it myself (at least from the 3m25s point highlighted in the screen grab; he says it a few seconds after that). This is not the Human Events account trying to make Kirk look stupid, that’s the organisation HE PRODUCES CONTENT FOR.

Cos, as I found after a quick search, Human Events actually dates back to 1944, when it began life as a tiny conservative news sheet, and over the decades it moved further right (by the 80s it was all for apartheid and being a bad influence on Ronald Reagan), to the point that professional liar and professional white person Jack Posobiec is now its senior editor. And Charlie Kirk is one of its featured writers on their website, which I suppose is Posobiec paying his fellow professional liar and professional white person back for Kirk hiring him for Turning Point USA.

So what I originally thought was a Twitter account I hadn’t previously encoutered making fun of Chuck E. Cheese for saying something stupid, it was his employer thinking he was making a good point. And I can see the point he and they thought he was making, i.e. Trump must’ve actually been effective if the Dems are trying to stop him happening again, but… that’s not why. It’s because Trump’s presidency was a catastrophe the world hasn’t fully recovered from yet and a repeat performance would almost certainly be even worse. I mean, for all their faults, at least the Democrats still believe in democracy and letting people vote; the Republicans can no longer be trusted to do the same…
