The right has successfully made calling out racism to be a bad thing these days. Feels like the right is currently enjoying a complete victory in talking points and memes. The left has been completely marginalized in the political vocabulary. Discussions like this Musk thing happen completely within right wing framing of the issues.


The right is successful because the left frequently calls people racist when they aren't. When everybody is a racist nobody is.

The left is almost always successful at political framing. Look at the don't say gay bill. It wasn't the right who came up with that name of the bill. Perhaps it is changing but it doesn't look like it to me.


They are enjoying victory in talking points in grassroots places, like social media, that aren’t controlled.

In almost every other place now the left dominates, anywhere where there is power or important people. Academia, tech, film, tv, music. You basically cannot get a right wing viewpoint in anywhere.


> You basically cannot get a right wing viewpoint in anywhere.

This is a great joke. Good delivery, great setup, 9/10.

What right wing view point do you feel can't be shared?


It's not even view points any more. It is facts detrimental to Democrats which get people deplatformed.


still same question, do you have an example? and an example of the first would still be good


Hunter Biden's laptop? 2 years ago it was lies planted by the Russians and peddled by evil Russian sympathizer Republicans trying to destroy democracy. The New York Post was banned from Twitter. Now, leftist news outlets have come out and confirmed the information.


No, they confirmed that it was most likely his laptop.

The entire shit show of blind laptop repair techs not taking down any contact information but recognizing Hunter Biden, waiting three years and then snooping on the contents, and then reaching out to Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani (who he apparently had no difficulty contacting, but somehow couldn't reach Hunter to say "Hey, your laptop is fixed"), making multiple copies of a drive, and then the loss of said laptop when it was "shipped" across country by USPS, untracked, uncertified, when it came time to give it to the FBI?

That's all still lies and bullshit.


thats not what happened, nypost started sharing some non story about alaptop trying to make it a big deal when it wasn't even confirmed. wouldnt that media be making it political to begin with? russia had nothing to do with it? What damning thing was confirmed since then? Why are you using antagonistic phrases like "leftist"


> You basically cannot get a right wing viewpoint in anywhere.

> It's not even view points any more. It is facts [...]

First, it was viewpoints that you can't share. Now it's not viewpoints, they're "facts"?

What facts do you think are going to get you deplatformed?
