One of the best retorts to any accusation is "OK!"

"That's racist!" "OK!" And continue on your merry way. The minute you let them think what they say matters to you, you've surrendered. I understand of course this is easier for retired people who don't give a damn, but the alternative retort is "demonstrate how."

I seriously despise people who surrender without a fight. My motto has always been "I'll go down fighting."

For two years, I've constantly said to my most gloomy friends "Stupid can't last forever." Turns out it's true. Unforced errors in every direction... follow the path of Napoleon and let the enemy error themselves into the grave.

My most liberal of โ€œscreaming about the current thingโ€ friends have been oddly quiet lately. Gives me hope that the implosion is actually picking up speed.

Last summer I sat down a nephew of mine who was having a pity moment about masking at school, etc, and I said, repeat after me. It wonโ€™t always be this way.

Been taking my own advice lately. It wonโ€™t always be this way. But thank the heavens for internet cats who shine a light on the end of the tunnel. ๐Ÿ˜

They've stopped with the group hugs and started back giving awards to the kid who played the best in our 6 yo's soccer league. Nobody complained.

These hysterical pundits are making the case for free speech better than its proponents ever could. When crying racism is the only argument that these people can think of against free speech, you know that they have nothing left. Racism is just like how they define "disinformation / misinformation": anything that doesn't meet their desired narrative.

My only problem with the original tweet is that it calls Joy Reid a "prominent journalist". I think people have to actually know who you are to be called "prominent", and she's certainly not a journalist.

What do we do when people call us raciss, anti vaxx, white supremaciss etc? I guess we laugh at them and ask, Still calling kids you dislike a poo, huh?

I haven't cared what the chattering media class has thought about me since they called me unpatriotic for not supporting the Iraq war.

Two decades later, I haven't seen a single reason I should change my mind about caring.
