Well said. I felt the need to share it. Well worth watching in its entirety.
I know the term “weaponized incompetence” and have used it to describe actions of others before. But when I did, it was for stuff like the kids “not knowing” how to clean a bathroom or do the dishes, or a friend’s husband who would scream at her because he “didn’t know how to make dinner for himself” and therefore she couldn’t ever be out at dinner time.
I’ve talked about the exhaustion of dealing with Leftists… I know YOU all know that, and are likely a lot more exhausted than I am. I hadn’t realized that it was yet another iteration of weaponized incompetence, though. And that knowledge gives me ideas on how to change my interactions.
“But why…” Well Karen, do you think it’s okay for a kiddie diddler to be hanging around the playground at your kid’s school? If you say yes, then you need to be put on a 72 hour hold because you are not well. If you say no, then that’s the answer to “but why?”
But I don’t believe I’ll even bother with that much. “Are you telling me that you cannot understand why ICE is in our city, when there are thousands of social media reports on it every day? Are you really that uneducated?”
I would hazard a guess that a large amount of this “outrage” on ICE is simply TDS. when their guy is in power their guy can do no wrong.
when We the People get our guy in office the adult sized toddlers spin up and go full on tantrum..
I don’t talk to them
Greg G. is reinforcing one of the things I have long held to be a reality. Social media is going to destroy polite and civilized social interaction. As he notes. Talk to a friend/family member and say you are going to harass the police, and you will be talked down. Say it on social media, and get encouragement from thousands of people you do not know, never met, and will not suffer any consequences if you F-up.

As to this particular event. Yeah, the more I learn about the woman involved, the less I care that she is dead. No sympathy. End of story. She knowingly and deliberately placed her social justice warrior crusade before her child, above her family. And, I am supposed to have sympathy?
.
Final note. Greg G. hits the nail on the head. There are way too many liberals/leftists that expect you to believe their claims of incompetence/ignorance in order to justify their actions. There is a narrative they want to… no, they need to support/believe, and when reality hits them in the face, they outright ignore it. The narrative is a part of their very essence, and chipping away at it is chipping away at their life.
