If you have seen Dinesh D’ Souza speak, you know he expresses himself calmly, intelligently, rationally. But he is a “conservative.”
In a comment posted on Facebook, he recently critiqued Joe Biden’s statement that Antifa was merely an Idea. Made in one of his debates with Trump, it was comparable to asserting that 2+2=1000! With typical honesty/tactlessness, the president responded “You’ve got to be kidding.” His disdain was perfectly justified. Biden’s refusal to acknowledge the world-wide destruction perpetrated by this Anarchist, Anti-Capitalist Mob is typical of the Left’s pathological disconnect from the real word. Hence, for example, the unconscionably stupid tributes by both Biden and Trudeau celebrating the accomplishments of the Murderous, Totalitarian, Chinese Communist Party!
D’ Souza’s comment, made as Nov. 3 approached, was hardly helpful to Biden’s chances at re-election. So Facebook, that bastion of “progressive” integrity, decided to demonetize him, attempting to mitigate the possible impact of his post by appending to it the criticism that it lacked “context.”
What “context” could possibly exonerate Biden for making a statement that is factually incorrect? In demonetizing D’ Souza, Facebook was clearly acting at the behest of sheer political bias while its attempt to impugn his comment by suggesting that it was somehow duplicitous was utterly dishonest. Yet the zombies of the Left, devoid of self-awareness, insist that it is Trump who is the Fascist. When asked for tangible evidence, they invariably refer to the same four or five indiscreet comments he made through the course of his presidency. But in spite of their relentless, strident claims that he is a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc., they can cite no policies whatsoever that actually substantiate that view.
Echoing almost verbatim conversations I have had with several Trump haters, Kaitlin Bennett of Liberty Hangout recently posted an interview with an ardent Biden supporter in which she asks the latter to list those specific policies pursued by Trump which had led her to loathe him. She could cite not one. But of course she did remember his racist denunciation of all Mexicans as rapists, murderers and drug pushers. While this slur has been repeated ad nauseam in the mainstream media, Bennett pointed out that Trump was clearly referring, rightly or wrongly, to the members of the MS-13 gang and was in no way suggesting that all Mexicans were criminals. The next statement, predictably, invoked by the Biden supporter was Trump’s reference to many of the nations of Africa as “shit holes.” Inexcusable? Of course! But also accurate, not a racist dismissal of all Africans, but a reference to the self-evident failure of many of the governments of that Continent to rescue their people from tribalism, disease and abject poverty. Sadly, the truths of empirical reality, as we have seen over and over again, do not sit well with the sentimental Left.
When sanctioned for criticizing Biden for an inane comment he had unequivocally made, D’ Souza said he felt as if he had entered the twilight zone. But that is where we are. Dozens have come forward, some of them Democrats, claiming to have witnessed brazen violations of protocol at polling stations in states across the nation, yet the mainstream media continues to repeat nightly that there is No Evidence of Voter Fraud, the basis of their assertion apparently being the sophisticated principle that everything coming from the Right is Fake while everything they say is Incontestably True.
Hence Facebook’s self-righteous decision to impugn D’ Souza’s perfectly rational critique of Biden simply because it did not fit its sacrosanct agenda.
