I think it’s important to always append convicted felon to any mention of Dinesh D’Souza. ---

For right-wing voters, that’s a feature, not a bug. It’s actually an advertising slogan. “Now, even better with MORE convictions!” ---

Most people who read that source, though, never get past about the third paragraph.) ---

The same people who keep pushing the “Walk away” meme of people abandoning the Democratic Party never want to accept responsibility for those people they actually did convince to move from Left to Right.

The political continuum isn’t a straight line, it’s an almost closed circle, and the trip from left wing extremist to right wing extremist can be a short one. ---

If (for values of “if” steadily approaching “when”) Twitter tanks, the obvious response forever afterward to any and all right-wing whines about being “censored” is “My platform is not going to sink into the sewer like Twitter did.” (“Suck on it, loser!” coda optional, but recommended.)
