A lot of folks are curious about where I stand on @RealCandaceO. Here are things I’m watching for: a) as someone w/ strong support for Israel, I’m hoping Candace will talk about the need to decouple issues of police brutality against US blacks from any anti-Israel stance of BLM.

b) I’m looking to see whether she‘s going to take on the Race & IQ discussion from the point of recognizing the myriad examples of Black genius we drown in as Americans, which would be unlikely under the simple bell curve argument. Not my issue, but one that upsets me greatly.

c) I’m looking to see if she builds kindness & empathy toward those she opposes. Here she’s reached out to me as a Bernie voter with generousity of spirit. But I’d love to see more of such heart & compassion.

These are all things I’ve said to her directly. So I’ll watch & wait.

But what I’m sure of is that Candace is 100% her own person who will become whoever she want to become & has the talent to make a huge impact. So I’d like to be helpful (if that it is going to be positive as I see the world) from across the aisle. A loyal opposition is important.

@glennbeck @EricWeinstein Glenn, thanks for giving a shout out to someone like me who has often been your loyal opposition. It speaks well of you to reach out a gracious hand. Much appreciated.

[Small correction: I should point out though that you tagged a different Eric Weinstein.]

To my Trump Supporting Followers: I‘ve always treated you with respect despite our disagreement over the idea that Trump represented an existential risk to our democracy and, by extension, the world.

I‘d like you to consider how far he is away from proving he won in a landslide.

@EricRWeinstein

I’m prepared to lose you today. But I need you to hear this from someone who disagreed with you respectfully, but saw where you were coming from.

Your candidate does not appear to be anywhere close to proving the massive conspiracy needed overturn this election. Consider:

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Hypothetically, assume that you KNEW an election was stolen by coordinated fraud. That doesn’t overturn the election.

You would have to prove that in a court and it would have to be a massive fraud. There‘d be a code name like “Operation Ajax/Boot” as there was in 1953 Iran.

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Okay. Assume your man won in a landslide now being covered up by a massive fraud operation.

What is the code name? Who headed it up? When was it launched? What was the size of the operation? Who funded it? How is it kept quiet? What is the size of the landslide? How do you know?

@EricRWeinstein

I know that many of you feel you aren’t taken seriously by media. I’ve always taken you seriously.

But that means expecting you to be serious about your own allegations. Trump is so far failing to meet *any* expected thresholds for responsibly alleging a conspiracy of this size.

6:33 PM · Nov 20, 2020

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Look at MKUltra, Ajax/Boot, Mockingbird, COINTELPRO, Operation Condor, Iran-Contra, etc. Beyond what you believe is true, your team would need to prove a conspiracy. And the delta between what is now alleged v what is proven or even “alleged with specificity” is growing alarming.

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

I’ll say it plainly: I wasn’t wrong. He always was & continues to be an existential risk as long as he has the football. If you love him & admire his best actions, show him. Let him know that the Delta between the allegation and proof of conspiracy must now close. Love you all.

Lastly, for those who will leave as followers from this thread: Thanks for hanging in there w/ me. It’s been tough, but I really appreciate the kindness & decency most of you have shown me. I hope I reciprocated that by being your loyal opposition. So thanks for hearing me out.🙏

Let me tell you a secret.

Many on the Right are *also* dreaming of America disappearing everyone they don’t like.

No Mohammed Ali. No Edward Teller. No Dave Chapelle. No Bob Dylan.

There is a *matched* set of revolutionaries being normalized right now.

Yes the Right has a problem.

I myself have been obviously been advocating as a Democrat to end the targeting of conservatives. To push the revolutionaries out of the Democratic Party. To get rid of our armed wing. To admit to using the state to interfere in US elections. To admit COVID origin coverup.

And on the other side there is this inexplicable self-righteous streak in the Republicans that says NOTHING is amiss in the big tent of the Right. At all. Ever.

Own the Libs. Ha ha. Liberal tears. Cry harder Jew. Go back to Israel. Christ is king MF. Blah blah blah. Ad infinitum. Does the Right not hear itself?

You have to be kidding if you don’t see this.

If you believe that the Right are free of revolutionaries dreaming of violence, then I have a simple test for you:

Try taking your own revolutionaries out of your big tent. Just try it.

Stand up for your Liberal friends across the aisle who faced down the woke bullshit and have treated you with the utmost respect and as the loyal opposition. Stand up to these anti-Jewish voices who claim that there are no Jews who want to make persecution of their Christian brothers a top line issue. We are here. Where are you?? We could use some tough right wing guys out here saying “Not in our name.”

You’ll see. The frogs come out. The 1488 bullshit. The endless discussion of how Jews are a cryptic religion that plots Christian downfall. Of how republicans have all the Guns and are now sick of minorities not present at the founding of this great nation. Talmud this and Torah that.

And the Right is largely silent about it. And it is spreading like wildfire.

As soon as you stand up against these revolutionaries on the right, you will see.

The right also has a problem.

For example:

“Here Eric, Nick is a great guy who explained the difference. We just want to put citizens like you and your tiny Yarmulke on a free flight out of our great white Christian nation.”

We dont want violence, Nick explained it well in the reel you shared. This is what we want Eric. America is for Americans.
