Annnnnnnnd here comes the whataboutism....

From the guy who doesn't like Trump.

The guy who said he supports Bernie.

The guy who miraculously channels FOX News talking points without watching FOX News.
that's right.

I like Trump better than your favorite idiots. I did not vote for him in 2016. I voted for Bernie and some third party candidate in the General.

In 2020 I voted for Tulsi and when she bounced I voted for Trump.

And yes. You watch FOX, I don’t.

But no. Its not whataboutism. Read better Kevin.

If you fail to see that google and Twitter and the left socialist medias have banned the word "groomer" and banned the babylon bee …

Lol. You just completely made that up. Either that, or you’re unable to operate either Google or Twitter.

The rest of your post seems to depend on the same untruthfulness.

When you post total BS like this, how is anyone supposed to take your complaints about credibility seriously?

I just Googled "groomer" and "Babylon Bee". No problem with either of them. What on earth is Binger talking about?

There's another aspect of the right-wing types in this country that I don't think people talk about enough, which is how many times conversations are had where warnings are issued about the way Republican voters will react to any given thing. Stuff like the FBI should be very careful about executing a search warrant on Agent Orange's resort because of how it will make his supporters react. Or the follow-up comment, "Way to get Trump re-elected."

Shouldn't the fact that these conversations even take place tell us something fundamental about the modern GOP voter? Like, that some of us feel the need to treat them like unruly 2-year-olds? When you hear over and over again stuff like, "It wasn't a vote for Trump, it was a vote against Democrats," or "Make Liberals Cry Again" it tells you that the GOP base has become completely infantilized. Childishness has become a GOP virtue. Only a child would vote out of spite. Only an emotional infant would blow himself up to harm others.

We should stop calling the GOP base "sheep," because at least sheep are grown up. It's an insult to sheep. "Lambs" would be more accurate. Lambs who think they're tough because they carry guns (somewhere in their wool, likely pointed in the vicinity of their own tiny dicks).
Since the NuRight is comprised of reactionaries without an original thought in their thick skulls don’t be surprised if they start to call for the FBI to be defunded or abolished (mimicking the BLM movement). Insane people electing insane people to tell insane people what they want to hear. Yeah. That’s going well.

Also, look for calls to arms more frequently. The Right is losing the demographics battle daily, so I suspect they’re feeling like they have to make a move in the next couple of decades lest they ‘lose the war.’

Cool cool cool.

So Twitter is not banning “groomer”?

And google/alphabet/youtube has not demonetized “groomer”?

Right on. Nah. Gotchtya. They are.

Back to embracing Q conspiracies and ignoring how the left embraces Q more than Q. Carry on.

Nope. Neither them, nor Google.

Ah. Here’s where you try to move the goalposts. Regardless, would you be upset if Google ‘demonetized’ groomer? Would that upset your financial plans?
Back to embracing Q conspiracies …
You do that. Those two ‘banning’ conspiracies above are doozies.

TL;DR

Will someone who read that article be so kind as to summarize it for me?
