Political Shenanigans (TLDR: don't be a Jackass)


Listen Later

list of different celebrities that died and people got emotional.

But we all still have the capacity for generic humanity

We should all be able to understand empathy

It isn't a conspiracy theory

Keep in mind somebody else died

And the killer was shot

Don't fall for the political grift

Yes there are bad people on both sides but that doesn't excuse the fact that somebody tried to kill a human being last night

He may be a politician but he means a lot to me and half of Americans

If he gets killed, then who's going to represent us. The general politician class does not represent our ideals anymore

Most conservative Americans feel abandoned

Many Europeans don't feel represented by their politicians either

The bad takes are tone deaf

I'm going to speak out about tone deaf takes. Because I see them as grandstanding. It's virtue signaling

It is possible to feel grief and celebrate victories at the same time

It is possible to condemn violence and make jokes about triumph at the same time

And it's okay to acknowledge the fact that there are people who are so hateful, that they would rather assassinate their political enemies then beat them square

Just going to be a lot of videos on tiktok about unhinged women screaming in their car

This is the new James hodgkinson

We have a lot of mental illness in this country

There are a lot of people who genuinely want to do evil rather than the right thing, and we have to treat slight examples as such.

This is the burden of righteousness
