I didn’t get to bed until 5AM yesterday\u00a0morning. \u00a0It wasn’t “excitement” so much as “restlessness”, to be honest.<\/p>\n
Watching liberal media, blogs and social media, you’d think the US just got conquered by Francisco Franco.<\/p>\n
It did not.<\/p>\n
Watching the mobs of pajama boys grrls that our “educational” establishment has spawned taking their sick days and rushing to their safe spaces, you’d think we’d suffered a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n
We didn’t, unless you consider dissent “terrorism”. \u00a0 \u00a0And I know some of you do.<\/p>\n
Of course, there’s no discussing this with some people. \u00a0 (To be fair, while you can discuss it with me, and I’ll listen hard, you’ll have to bring your A game).<\/p>\n
But how about let’s try?<\/p>\n
I’m going to borrow an idea from Dennis Prager.<\/p>\n
Let’s talk in two years, right before the mid-terms.<\/p>\n
If we get the Armageddon you all predict<\/strong> – rampant discrimination (real discrimination, not dissenting sentiments by marginal figures and isolated people) against immigrants in general, society turning into a dystopia for women, gays, Latinos, blacks and everyone in between, violent nationalism running amok – I’ll admit publicly I was wrong.<\/p>\n If we don’t –\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>or, if in fact attitudes about immigration, race and the economy\u00a0improve<\/em> – you admit publicly\u00a0you\u00a0<\/em>were wrong.<\/p>\n Let me know if we have a deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I didn’t get to bed until 5AM yesterday\u00a0morning. \u00a0It wasn’t “excitement” so much as “restlessness”, to be honest.
