Very interesting revelation from a lifelong Democrat:
“Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump’s speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn’t actually reflect what he said. That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment.”
“I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn’t just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that’s why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC.”
“They clearly know they are misrepresenting things, so for me, that was beyond uncomfortable. Now, I have to go back to first principles and look at the primary data, listen to only original speeches by people, and I just realized I couldn’t trust the mainstream media.”
They did not misrepresent things, this guy just gaslit himself.

All Canadian members of Parliament including the Prime Minister gave Nazi two standing ovations.
Speaking of Nazis…

“I started reading @PirateWires and @micsolana, and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos.”
“I said that can’t be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media.”

So the NYT doing its job…made him uncomfortable with the media?
There was never any cover up of what Azov’s past was btw.
Yeah, the NYT “doing its job” long after the damage has been done.
What was wrong with the Azov Brigade was that they were murdering their neighbours. If they wear Easter lilies instead of swastikas, nothing improves. If they keep the swastikas and stop the killing, the problem ends. I don’t see the point in obsessing over swastikas.
The next little while is going to be very painful for Trunk Derangement Syndrome sufferers.
As a human being, I feel for you! I hope they find a cure.
Cool story bro. My point still stands. Also this is going to be painful for anyone in America who likes being employed or buying stuff.
Poor UnMe, Communist Obama is out. Now that the betas are gone, real Men takeover. UnMe is so uncomfortable without FILTHY LIBERALS in command but maybe girlboss Fuhrer Freeland will Captain of their sinking Chinese Ship.
Enjoy the Suck for the next 12 years.
You’d pay the Jizya…so pay the Tariff(s)
Still trying to harp on the Tiki Torch march/Brown Scare of ten years ago?
Pathetic. That’s one reason why Kamala Harris lost.
It’s not remotely one of the reasons she lost.
Lol, someone, apparently in all seriousness, linked to the bought-and-paid-for lying cucks at The Bulwark.
I’ll bet you think Biden was sharp and in charge and running things for the past four years too, just like the brilliant brains at The Bulwark do.
Robert Tracinski and Cathy Young are excellent writers and thinkers, don’t really care for anybody else at The Bulwark. In any event, nobody who actually unironically uses the word ‘cuck’ really has anything to say anyway.
Nobody who reads the strident paid-for shills at The Bulwark has anything to say anyway.
You can regurgitate their ridiculous pablum, but it only demonstrates that you yourself don’t have the capacity to think.
You can call it pablum all you want but you still can’t refute it.
You are correct. I can’t refute the wilful denial of reality.
Trump said exactly what he said. Pincus actually listened to what he said, and came to the obvious conclusion – that Biden, the Democrats, and what’s left of “traditional” media, were lying their asses off. You and your cuck friends at the Bulwark decided to construct some bizarre alternate reality to conform with your predetermined facts.
And I’m very sorry that you object to the term “cuck”. You do seem to have a deep-seated aversion to anything resembling accuracy. Perhaps you can seek help within Canada’s gold–plated world-class health care system.
The problem is that Tracinski entirely debunks this claim that the media were lying. He buries it.
You can call it “resistance”, but you can’t pretend it isn’t pablum.
Trump said what he said. Pincus was astonished to find what Trump said wasn’t what the “media” or the NeverTrumper cucks at the Bulwark and friends (so sorry that you’re offended by the very accurate characterizations of their spew) lied about.
If you’re concerned about your lies being called out, please flounce off to bluesky.
The echo chamber is your friend.
Reality is your enemy.
I only use the word “cuck” when talking about socks.
In this instance and many others Trump’s words were misrepresented. He never supported white nationalists. Charlottesville was a set up.
RTFA he absolutely did. Still does, hence the racism
I realize that you’re incapable of self reflection or revising your opinion in the face of undeniable facts but you should really take a moment and watch the whole video around the “good people on both sides” lie.
Even you might find that just this one time (as you’ll justifiy it to yourself), Trump’s words were taken out of context.
Give it a try.
Reality is so much more entertaining than the fantasy world you’ve been living in.
They were not. RTFA
The article you posted never “debunks” anything about the Charlottesville hoax. Nothing. Just more far-left mental masturbation.
#walkaway
It does you just can’t read.
Or he can discount imbecilic stupidity disguised as technocratic jargon.
It must be terrible for your trade.
guys guys guys. when are you gonna unanimously IGNORE the unmebot?
some of its responses are so ungodly obvious classic trolling. ie it aint the *content* it seeks but the existence of the response. dont give it. for as long as it takes, radio silence. m’kay? just a suggestion; stop feeding the pigeons.
‘ignore it and it will go away’ actually sometimes works. try it. l will set an example
and do so under my several nomes de plumes.
Wow … you sent me looking at all the EXTREME, unhinged, terminal-TDS articles written by this seriously disturbed individual Robert Tracinski. Wow … he hates Trump with every fiber of his being. Hate run amok. A real Hater’s Hater. Gawd … I need to take a shower after looking at his monotheistic articles of faithlessness in all things and all people Trump.
Talk about living in a self-constructed Jonestown of your mind … sheesh.
But will he still vote Democrat?
I believe he said he voted for Trump.
Sorry, I should’ve been clearer, I’m taking about future elections.
Plus ca change.
Evidence: Bob Hope’s famously hilarious zombie Democrats scene:
Lawrence (Hope): “You live here?”
Montgomery: “Yes.”
Lawrence: “Then maybe you know what a zombie is”
Montgomery: “When a person dies and is buried, its seems there are certain voodoo priests who … who have the power to bring him back to life.”
Carter: “How horrible!”
Montgomery: “It’s worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.”
Lawrence: “You mean like Democrats?”
Red pill, poison pill, same old same old despotism, reigning, or plotting for power, it the means and the end.
Wait until he starts looking at “the primary data” on other leftard shibboleths, from “global warming” to Teh Vaxx.
It doesn’t speak well for his intellectual capacity that it took him this long to realize that “the primary data” is what matters and that everything the media and governments (BIRM) say about it is a deliberate lie designed to advance the totalitarian aims of the left.
The data is clear that human-induced global warming is a reality and the COVID vaccine is safe and effective.
Re global warming
Take a walk up to Ellesmere Island. I say walk, because you shouldn’t use any hydrocarbons.
Once there, tell us what you see.
And we have always been at war with Eurasia…
Until you show me the Time Machine they invented and are using to go back and take new measurements to “adjust” temperature records from many decades ago, the idea of human-induced global warming is nothing but a scam.
With no adjustments made, the 1930’s were much warmer than now, and the whole hoax is blown out of the water.
That’s not science works this is just wanton solipsism on your part.
You seem to be afflicted with this idea that ‘adjustments’ are disqualifying and they are really not. They are essential to undistorting data. I know these things, I work in science.
You work in “science?” Well, that explains your lock-step thinking.
You may work in science, but you aren’t a scientist if you think “adjustments” to data to fit your predetermined outcome aren’t disqualifying.
Why don’t explain the moron logic that thinks someone knows now what the temperature was in certain places better than the people who measured it at the time 90 years ago?
Yeah, yeah … now tell me about temperature “smoothing” … and temperature “modeling” …
that amazingly ALL end in the same result … the planet’s “on fire!” … the “hottest _ _ _ on record”
I thought “Wanton, so lips is him!” was Mick Jagger’s epitaph?
Did you not get the memo? It’s at least 15 years old.
The paid-for retards at the Bulwark you mindlessly link to, have surely kept you informed.
“Global warming” (wonderfully better crop yields) is now “climate change”!
Climate change! So scary.
You can do your part, by not consuming plant-helpful carbon-fueled electricity to post your inane regurgitation of cuckservative Bulwark posts.
Why won’t you think of the planet!? When it’s all frozen and dead, won’t it be so much better? Murderer!
The star of the solar system, The Sun, is laughing at you and your liked minded puny humans.
What the “data” shows is today’s “science” is Scientism and utterly malevolent. You represent it well.
We are in the coldest period ever measured. Let’s hope it gets a lot warmer and soon!
At this point, with all that has been revealed/known about the “shots” that were never tested (see Anthony Housefather’s testimony), to still say there were “safe and effective” is to knowingly lie – or be so insulated as to be dangerously moronic. The visible, permanent and dire health damage to friends and family is what’s real and evident.
We all know people who wish they didn’t (or were coerced) take the shot but no one who wishes they did.
Public hangings will brighten the mood. Are you afraid you’ll be a lamp-post swinger?
Collectivists never quantify their qualifications.
It’s how they misinform and disinform, virtue signal, camouflaging their own errors and sins of omission.
Incidence, cost benefit and implications of events matter, except to power lusting statists, dystopic despots and ideologically addled ignoramuses, radicals, reactionaries, nanny narcissists and useful idiots.
The stupidity training system is massive, not only does it include kindergarten through PhD, it encompasses almost all media from infotainment like the nightly news on tv to the rest of the schlock from Hollywood.
But that still doesn’t excuse otherwise intelligent people from having their heads jammed up their butts.
We need to uncover more red pills if we’re going to save civilization.
One of the funniest moments in the Trump/Biden presidential debate, for me, was when Joe Biden repeated the Charlottesville hoax yet again, despite the fact that the left-wing Snopes had (finally) debunked it not more than three weeks earlier. I still think their timing was a bit suspicious…they had *years* to address that hoax, and chose not to, but waited until right before the Presidential Debate?
At any rate, Pincus is not the only person who ever admitted that the Charlottesville Hoax was the thing that pushed them to more closely examine the ‘news’ they were being fed. It’s one thing to manipulate a story for propaganda purposes…it’s quite another to continue to repeat that smear years after it had been thoroughly debunked. That’s just insulting.
