Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 28, 2023

Sadly this is way too true about modern politics and many other things now adays.

It seems “teen (rather than adult) tactics” to me

It is happening right now: "April 26 (Reuters) – Montana statehouse Republicans on Wednesday silenced Democratic transgender legislator Zooey Zephyr from floor debates for breaking decorum after she said lawmakers who backed a ban on gender-affirming healthcare for minors would have “blood on your hands.”

Under the motion that passed with a vote of 68-32, Zephyr will be allowed to vote but is barred from the House floor, anteroom or gallery for the remainder of the legislative session, scheduled to end on May 10."—https://www.reuters.com/world/us/montana-transgender-legislator-censured-after-blood-your-hands-comment-2023-04-26/

This is excellent political satire. The ones who are the targets of it will not recognize themselves while the rest of us will understand the humor albeit a bit morbid about our future.

I find your pre-emptive strike offensive.

Well, it would be, but he doesn’t believe in spanking.

Ah, but as parent trumps rant, grounding is a very possible solution. :P

This example of the prevailing “I feel, ergo sum” mindset precludes any and all rational discourse.

Once, the ‘ol blood on his hands 45, is no longer relevant, whom will these Sycophants perform for?

The Heckler’s veto is not consistent with a functioning civilization.

No person has the “right” to not be “offended”. But that subjectivism and oppression is the standard tactic of the tyrants controlling our society now.

Great candidate for Antifa!

I feel like Rip VanWinkle this morning.

When did this turn from left to right? Did I not see a slash at the woke/liberal agenda?

I’m guessing this about all the people who are shouted down on university campuses.

She forgot to mention ‘’got my feelings hurt’’. Rookie mistake.

The fake outrage and offense is a cover up for their own criminal and offensive behavior, which they proceed to project onto the innocent.

Well there you go. That’s what I need to do. I have to sue my employer for something before they fire me.

She got her shot in first because, deep within herself, she knows she hasn’t get a chance when the actual moment arrives.

Way too accurate today :D

Is this a comment on the recent events in Tennessee and Montana?

The thing is, Dana, most preemptive strikes usually fail.

No, Danae. I reject your rules and substitute my own.

I think therefore I am right.

Recently, the always insightful Valerie Tarico explored this whole business in worthwhile depth. It makes some things quite clear: How We Borrow Victimhood to Gain Status https://valerietarico.com/2023/04/07/how-we-borrow-victimhood-to-gain-status-2/

I live in Montana, this was literally applied to Rep. Zooey Zephyr, silencing her and her constituents.

99% of the time, it is a leftist Democrat who tries to shut down opposing views with the “I’m offended” crap. Of course, Obama and Biden have enjoyed massive help from Big Tech in shutting down opposing views [not to mention the 99% Democrat media.] Elon Musk has helped even the ‘playing field’ a small amount by removing a hive of leftist censors and ex-FBI agents that used to have free rein shutting down conservative viewpoints. Remember the government “truth” of: “The ‘vaccine’ will prevent catching and spreading COVID-19.” Big Tech kept this lie going for 2 years, until even Democrats noticed ‘fully vaccinated and boosted’ people caught COVID easier than non-vaccinated people. [I figured it was because gene therapy mislabeled as a “vaccine” DOESN’T work as a real vaccine would!]

I refuse to think…therefore I am.Nothing.

“Canceling” is just another word for “ignoring the drooling knuckle-dragger shouting nonsense in a public forum.” I will always enjoy my right to engage or not engage with whomever I want (including companies with whom I don’t want to do business). The kids call it “adulting.” Morons pejoratively call it “being woke.”

Its great to know all our problems are going to be solved

Danae increasingly wears her politics on her sleeve — she’s Liberal/Progressive Dem for certain!

Is she actually the child of Jorge Flush…?

Dad: I find your meals to be expensive for me. Your right to eat is hereby cancelled.

This child is a total annoyance. Not watching cartoon as much.

Detailed explanation of Republican maneuvering

Danae will cancel the special taxing district for Flo’s BAAH..

It’s a favorite tactic, but calling it “problem-solving” is entirely questionable.

Children learn from those around them.

That works only if there is a target to be achieved. If you want to claim offendedness of something you must first deny your interest in it.

“I don’t care, if you call me a racist, but …” […] “Calling me a racist, are you? I AM OFFENDED!!!”

so true for the liberals.

To be offended is a choice. I chose “NOT” to be offended. Also for some one to choose to be offended for a culture or group that they are not attached to is just plain dumb.

Spoken like a true wokester and/or lefty and/or idiotic obliviot.Mind you that doesn’t mean that the righties are blameless,vjust much less bad than the others
