Today was the capstone of a horrible few days. I’m going to write something about the war on the right, about Iryna, and then I’m going offline. In the near future, my only posts will be excerpts from my novel-in-progress.
I feel so exhausted. I think I’m going insane. I just read this on Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters From An American”
She’s not alone. Laurence Tribe and P.Z. Myers have said the same.
I sometimes wonder if it isn’t some organized plot to rewrite history. Look at this, from a Democrat operative with over 100K followers:
The “conservative” was a pro-Palestinian nutcase.
They just lie without compunction.
In the days following Charlie’s murder, I watched as Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes auditioned to inherit his mantle. It was gutting.
Then they turned on each other and it became almost funny, like watching two cancer cells attack one another.
Concurrently, I noticed a split between Matt Walsh and James Lindsay. Lindsay has proven to be the only man in this mess, bravely standing up for principle. Walsh—I have no words for him. He’s willing to ally with anyone on the right, including the alt right. He even defended Fuentes, who has attacked him.
Fuck that.
But they’re just influencers.
What happened today was a gut punch.
J. D. Vance, the Vice President, was interviewed by Tucker Carlson. I don’t have the bandwidth to describe it. Here’s a graphic.
Full remarks. Carlson is really a master of sliminess. Their “friend” hasn’t even been buried, and they dog whistle about his “donors.” (You know who.)
Carlson is a “friend” of Vance.
I will never vote for Vance. I saw his speech. There was a time I’d have liked it; no longer. All I saw was rage. He wants to declare war on the left? Fine. But I’m not standing shoulder to shoulder with Nick Fuentes.
Then Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani.
Mamdani. Vance. Richardson. Carlson.
Speaking of Carlson, his buddy Darryl Cooper covered himself in shit, saying he would take his son (who doesn’t exist) “camping” rather than give him in to the law.
I’m going crazy.
I was going to write something about Iryna, but I don’t have the strength.
He’s right.
I need to stop mainlining poison and write my book.
See you later.
Thanks for expressing in words what we are all feeling. Well done….dont be gone for too long!
I can relate to what you are saying. It’s exhaustion and in such a position it’s better to shut down rather than turn to hating the haters. Hate is hate right?
I was hating as well. I stopped. It dawned on me. Anger is not hate. I have a right to be angry but not to hate.
I’m still angry but I’m not hating anyone. In the spirit of Charlie Kirk: let’s talk it and keep talking until we get to not hating each other.
Best of luck with the novel!
