Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

During his acceptance speech at the Republican convention last week, Sen. J.D. Vance, the GOP vice presidential candidate, praised Donald Trump's call for "unity." But this year, Vance endorsed a new book co-written by a far-right conspiracy-monger that calls progressives "unhumans" and claims they are waging an "Irregular Communist Revolution" against American civilization.

... They claim, "For as long as there have been beauty and truth, love and life, there have also been the ugly liars who hate and kill." And these "people of anti-civilization" have always gone by different names: communists, socialists, leftists, and progressives. The pair contend these folks"be they the Bolsheviks of Russia or the BLM activists of this decade"are better called "unhumans."

"With power, unhumans undo civilization itself," Posobiec and Lisec write. "They undo order. They undo the basic bonds of society that make communities and nations possible. They destroy the human rights of life, liberty, and property"and undo their own humanity in the process by fully embracing nihilism, cynicism, and envy."

It's a hard-edged message. The foes of conservatism are not merely misguided souls pushing the wrong policies but people who seek to annihilate civilization. They "rob" and "kill," Posobiec and Lisec maintain: "They don't believe what they say. They don't care about winning debates. They don't even want equality. They just want an excuse to destroy everything. They want an excuse to destroy you." ...


To me it looks more like the authors are projecting their aims and goals upon those they call the foes of conservatives.

Nihilists can get away with calling other people uncivilized only being bigger nihilists.

@#4 ..."ugly liars who hate and kill"

[Trump cult], dat you? ...

So, I'm not the only one who noticed the usual right-wing projection of their aims and goals.

(apologies for the substitution of "Trump cult" for your "Fat Donnie Loser." )

So I fully endorse opposition to progressive leftists too that always have but one single objective. Make policy like open borders that turns America into losers for average people, and make the special party political elites like Kamala and Pelosi etc into billionaires just as the Commies did in Soviet Union with their political elites.

They make the benefactors like Pelosi, Obama and Clintons oligarchs. They outrageously allowed these simple minded leftist political party hacks that never worked at anything except politics to become rich along with others. Government hacks their entire life that bent the system for their own advantage. The problem is not as much individuals as the progressive policy in total that encourages corrupt group think.

We need to remember that Harris is running against Trump and not Vance so whenever another scandal regarding JD comes up we need to point out just how horrible the Trump vetting system is. IOW, we need to make this about Trump, because it IS about Trump.

Hideous. #45 was better off with spit-and-polished billionaire Doug Burgum, but Frick and Frack talked their dotard father out of him. Good for us.

Paraphrasing some of Fran Lebowitz's observations about Trump, Vance comes across as a stupid person's idea about what a smart person is like.

Someone needs to ask Vance straight up if he beats his wife and kids.

As a progressive atheist, I do remember the America I grew up within, in the 1950's. It was a simpler time, mostly because we were not allowed to think or to speak of our passions and our doubts regarding our political leaders.
I have no, absolutely no, doubt that Trump means what he just said that voting in four years won't be necessary for the fundamentalist community..he wants a return to the 1950's when women were second class citizens, Black men and women "knew their place", and god spoke through the old mean men running things.
Ultimately, freedom to speak our truth is essential for us to even understand our own truth.

Even Deplorables are still considered humans. Just not very good ones.

You got it.

Deplorable human beings indicate we still see you as human...

Unhuman... speaks for itself.

We know how you treat "unhumans"...

Serious question... Does or did Vance beat his wife?
