▪️The Dobbs decision did the exact opposite of what this meme suggests. It had no opinion whatsoever on what women can do with their bodies, it returned the power to regulate abortions back to the states. Ironically, they actually WANT the court to have an opinion on what women can do with their bodies, just the one they agree with.
▪️It may seem like the left is clueless about reality, until you realize they use language differently. Not to communicate but to manipulate. They absolutely want to tell women what they can do with their bodies, if and when it suits them. They don’t hold it as any sort of principle, only as a slogan to manipulate and get what they want.
▪️You can see this clearly with the word “democracy.” For years, it was nonstop fears about “attacks on our democracy.” Then, when an unelected court removes Trump from a state’s ballot, they cheer.
▪️Because the concern was never about democracy, but their agenda and power. They don’t use the word to describe a particular political system or principle. They know democracy has a good connotation for most people, so use it as a means to manipulate and get what they want.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
This is almost laughingly misleading, as it leaves out everything before the letter.
▪️After being repeatedly lampooned by the Smothers Brothers over Vietnam, Johnson finally had enough. One night at 3 am he called the head of CBS William Paley, demanding that he “get those bastards off my back.”
▪️Paley then asked the heads of CBS entertainment to get them to back off of LBJ. However, instead of backing off the Smothers Brothers doubled down, booking a folk musician performing “Waist Deep,” an anti-war song about a soldier being stuck in the mud while “the big fool says to push on,” clearly a dig at LBJ.
▪️At the last minute, CBS cut the song from the pre-taped show to the outrage of the Smothers. They continued to push the boundaries off and on for the rest of his presidency, with CBS sometimes cutting segments that they thought went too far. Basically, it was a soft form of censorship.
▪️It wasn’t until Johnson made his surprise announcement not to run in 1968 ...
