"I'm not telling a simple story. I'm talking about something else. I'm talking about the evil of using this network of, I'm going to say, semi-public institutions, like the New York Times, or the Democratic Party to troll, like, the center of the country, the median individual, and tell them there's like, you know—we're more interested, often, in showing that we can speak Spanish because, you know, we believe that no one is illegal, you know. And so, like, let's get rid of the concept of illegal immigrants. Let's not worry about diluting the vote, we'll never talk about that. Let's, you know, try to make sure that trans is something that we're talking about in early stages of development in schools. I don't know. There's, like, a ton of weird stuff where it feels like a giant troll. Right? And we're gonna do stuff and if you object to it, it's just going to tell us how bad you are, and we're going to take victory laps and try to bury your career. And I think that that thing is actually—I've called it LeftCarthyism. And, like, where this comes down for me is that my family suffered under McCarthyism. And I'm against McCarthyism as a tactic. I don't like it any better when we do it." | |||
