Obviously! Any smart NYT reader knows that!

There was no inflation, the fascist police were defunded, Cuba’s political prisoners were happily confined, Maduro was still in charge of a socialist paradise, people were free to judge by identity instead of character, millions of Afghan women were put where democrats thought was best for them, Putin was thoughtfully encouraged to take Ukraine, and, most importantly, the borders were sealed shut.

Plus tens of billions of unaudited cash was pouring into democrat aligned pockets: autism centers without any patients, school lunch programs without any kids, important DEI research, empty hospices, a high speed railway to nowhere, lucrative homeless programs that solved nothing, and USAID sinecures.

And, lest we forget, the Steele Report and Hunter’s laptop proved once and for all that Trump was a Putin super spy,

Heavenly!

Never forget! Life was just peachy under Biden! Thank you for your honesty!

EXACTLY! Do NOT believe the conspiracy theorists! The laptop was a Russian plant, the Steele Report is gospel, the lab leak theory has zero credibility, and Smollet was attacked by MAGA.

The list is “opinion”? No they’re all FACTS!

Don’t you read the New York Times?

Or are you on the side of uneducated deplorables?

You are 100% correct sir! As proof, let’s consult the early 2020s MAGA Misinformation Guide:

* The inflation is minimal and, regardless, is “temporary”.
* The border is secure, and cannot be closed any further without new congressional legislation.
* Biden is fully mentally competent.
* Judging by identity instead of character is democratic.
* Decriminalizing crime and defunding policing are wonderful ideas.
* Violent crime rates haven’t spiked.
* The working class is doing well economically. Low paid non-citizens weren’t responsible for the vast majority of job gains.
* The laptop is a Russian plant and the Steele Report is gospel.
* Smollet was attacked by MAGA.
* The lab leak theory is not at all credible.
* The GF riots were “peaceful”.
* Extremely adult books in grades schools are appropriate.
* Hormonal and surgical transitions for children are scientific and moral.
* The Afghanistan withdrawal was a success.
* Restarting Nord Stream 2 and stopping PennEast are helpful actions.
* Refusing to arm Ukrainians is a great idea.
* Funding Hamas and Iran is smart.
* The Houthis should be removed from terrorist watch lists.
* The majority of Black Americans: support defunding, oppose school choice, oppose VoterID, or support illegal immigration.
* It is “fake news” that Kamala was a border czar, donated to free GF rioters, and was rated the most liberal Senator.
* The government isn’t telling social media to suppress dissenting empirically backed information.
* Mississippi is fascist, and isn’t measurably doing a far better job teaching Black American children than progressive California.

Bring back Artemis space shuttle technology! VAX/VMS forever!

Indeed. A pragmatic government decision is exactly equivalent to Nazi level thinking. There’s no other possible result.

Think logically. If “ The LCOE calculations are readily done, and it's absolutely blindingly obvious that not having to pay the costs of supplying fuel means renewables are substantially cheaper than fossil fuels.” then there’d be zero fossil usage, and your would be far less sanguine about painting Swastikas on Teslas and attacking Tesla dealerships.

People aren’t being forced to use fossil fuel at gunpoint.

The current situation is so stupid that Hochul is forcing many upstate New Yorkers to burn coal and wood to affordably heat their homes.

Seems that Germany regrets shutting down its nukes, and the EU has reversed its recommendations - including a top EU leader that came out of Germany, while France is happy.

They’re not stupid. You just think you’re smarter than them.

What a mysterious coincidence.

You deliberately failed to account for percentages.

You deliberately failed to accede natural gas is better than oil and coal. Shutting down PennEast and other NG pipelines, for example, was sheer short-sighted stupidity that increases pollution, increases CO2, and increases costs.

You deliberately assumed we can always instantly replace fossil fuel with green.

Silly.

That still doesn’t abrogate the disproportionate amount of subsidies. We see the net result - higher net energy costs passed onto consumers (essentially a very regressive tax) plus, in the name of politically short-sighted pandering, steering the regional economic engine away from more practical environmentally better options (nuclear, allowing the replacing of dirtier fossil fuels with cheaper and cleaner natural gas, more power lines down from Canadian hydro).

If true, then of-shore shouldn’t need significant subsidies. Right? And before you shout “oil subsidies!”, stop and think: those, unlike wind, are a tiny fraction of the tax revenues from that same energy source.

Interesting. You were just down-modded for a purely factual statement.

It’s rather telling that someone bothered to mod you down for that. Ironically proving your point that that particular ideology requires dictatorship - here in the form of censorship- to thrive.

I think a general audience is plenty smart enough to see why sarcasm is warranted here. And obviously you think you’re smarter than them, as you clumsily sidestepped the point in full view. No official action was taken, and criticism of the FCC head’s comments was almost as heavy from the right as the left (one suspects you probably aren’t informed enough to know that). and the actual thing you labeled “censorship” was independently decided by Kimmel’s own sponsors - who were understandably aghast at someone in their employ making light of a motivated assassination. The point: the massive assymetry of the situation is key, as is the culpability of a culture that winks at mass censorship and assassination.

That article is exactly why I know you’re making a mountain out of a molehill, then using it to deflect. Your claiming otherwise is obviously a rhetorical deflection intended to self justify deliberately missing the point.

But no worries, there’s quite a bit of desperate mod activity going on to try censor my point. That’s a meta confirmation of that very point, but I’m pretty sure you support it, despite claiming to be against censorship.
