Comments on Special Report Panel Discussion of July 6, 2020

A couple points on FoxNews Special Report panel discussion of this evening:

Charles Lane, obviously, hasn’t read Jonah Goldberg’s book Liberal Fascism, or he would have known where Trump got the expression “left-wing fascism.”  It may be divisive to refer to left-wing fascism, but it is also divisive to call people racists, especially when they aren’t.  And racist is a term thrown about recklessly by the left as a means of silencing and discrediting people who like Trump.

Maybe the panelists should spend more time trying to figure out Trump’s deeper motivations when he tweets out a Bubba Wallace tweet, and comments on the loss of viewership since NASCAR banned the confederate flag.  He’s still engaging in the culture war. Trump is pointing out that collapsing in the face of the progressive-fascist mob gains you nothing.  You lose the people who are paying your bills by bowing the people who couldn’t care if you lived or died.  Has anybody noticed that literally everybody pressing to change the name of the Redskins is NOT an Indian?  Famously, real Indians either like the name, or couldn’t care less.  It’s all a P.C. war, and Trump wants it known that P.C. can be defeated if you stand up to it.  P.C. holds the middle class in contempt.

Don’t worry this moment about Tammy Duckworth’s lies or Susan Rice’s lies.  Both of them blew themselves up with their comments.  And if Biden does choose either one, they’re on tape ready for immediate recall.  As for the NYT and WaPo stories that Brit Hume talked about, everybody knows by now that most of the media have given up all allegiance to truth when it comes to Trump.  Soon it will hit people that lies by the media are a sign of the contempt they hold for the intelligence of their readers.  Contempt for the middle= and working-classes is what got Trump elected in 2016.

If Kanye West gets on the ballot in Pennsylvania and Michigan, Biden is sunk.  Blacks will have some place to go other than Biden.  They want to prove that they’re black despite not voting Democrat.

It only takes 3 – 4 percent of Trump voters to say they’re for Biden to tilt the polls.  Two reasons: they don’t want a mob to riot on their front lawn, and it keeps the Dems from pulling a bait-and-switch at the convention.  If Biden were down, a switcheroo would be explicable.  If he’s ten points up, it’s a lot harder to explain.
