There was backlash against Dr. Fauci and Volodymyr Zelensky. [View all]

Both were initially beloved, for good reason. Namely because they were both heroes acting their best under crisis.

The right wing somehow got a hold of the narrative and successfully convinced at least a sizeable minority of people that these two righteous men were somehow bad and worthy of contempt.

This was done out of sheer jealousy on the part of Dear Leader. Because Dear Leader could not dare be supplanted as a focus of admiration.

But as idiotic as it was, there was a backlash against both Fauci and Zelensky.

I’m saying this because if two honorable, decent, heroic people can be subjected to a public backlash for no discernible reason, why can’t there be a public backlash against a contemptible piece of shit like Charlie Kirk who did nothing for society except trying to divide us?

We’ve been told we must honor this very dishonorable person.

It’s time for the public to say no. We’re not going to do it.

We have better things to do and better people to honor.

I’m sorry, but this Kimmel thing has got me livid.
