Might as well start planning your apology tour
Part of being a leftist, progressive, or liberal is constantly calling republicans and conservatives racist, and asking them to prove to you they’re not racist because the burden of proof is on the accused, not the accuser. That’s just sound jurisprudence right there, that’s what that is. Occasionally, part of being a liberal is also explaining away things you’ve done and said that could be misconstrued as racist if you want to get all spin-zone and taking-things-out-of-context on us. And then sometimes, part of being a liberal is drafting an apology letter, holding a press conference, and going on a mea culpa tour. The ladies of The View would love to have you if you’re a Democrat. If you’re a Republican, they’d love to talk about you whilst talking over each other (Seriously, who’s able to even stomach that show? I want names!).
Once your tour is over, you can resume with labeling conservative speech and protests as fascism and hate speech, then using your labeling such speech with emotionally charged language as justification to start policing free speech and making backdoor deals with Big Tech (a football team that has an undefeated record against the SEC, btw) to aggressively start shutting it down. Much like a fascist in a not-all-that-chill country would do, but y’all not ready for that conversation.
If you’re Justin Trudeau, you’ve got hot leftist privilege to ensure your continued employment in the government. You’re also a political figure in Canada and don’t have to deal with the pesky hurdles the 1st Amendment presents American politicians when it comes to policing and shutting down free speech, but that’s not what we’re talking about right at the moment. So when another picture of you in blackface pops up on conservative media on the eve (yes, I realize the timing is nothing short of predominant and obnoxiously purposeful) of your reelection, you’ve nothing to worry about. You can either start packing your bags for Apology Tour 1.5 or just invoke the last apology you made and say that upon the time of its release, it was meant to cover all future occurrences of racism and any past occurrences of racism that hadn’t been discovered and disseminated yet. That’ll at least save you (i.e. taxpayers) costly air and hotel fares. You’ve got a lot on your plate. There’s a church in Calgary that won’t mask up which is just itching to be shut down, after all.
If a reporter from a conservative outlet asks you a question regarding you wearing a turban and posing for a photo with a huge smile that screams volumes about how happy you are to be in blackface, make sure your deflection game is on fleek-ness—or whatever the kids are saying nowadays—and talk about Republican efforts to keep black people from voting with the unreasonable expectation of logging into the internet and printing directions to the DMV. Then take a page from Oregon Public Schools playbook and riff about how it’s racist to ask black kids to know objective facts . While you’re on a roll (and if you’re feeling yourself) ask Sleepy Joe to pass the mic so you can talk about how you ain’t black if you don’t vote Democrat. Maybe drum up class warfare by vilifying the 1% and reiterate the need for oppressed peoples to be taken care of with perpetual welfare and other means of government assistance while you’re at it.
When you’re done, quietly ruminate on how insulting, condescending, and paternalistic left-leaning politicians can be before black people stop voting for them (I’m not a Republican and I don’t believe they’re the answer, so don’t play that game with me). Quietly, though. I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to QUIETLY ruminate. Public reflection on the racist ways of the left is not what this country needs right now. What it needs is strong leadership that may or may not have done egregiously racist things in its past that may or may not be germane to the discussion of what this country needs right now. You’ve wasted enough time at this point in neglection of your duties. There is virtue-signaling to do and racist people to cancel. Now go out there and be the Social Justice Warrior your mama always wanted you to be!
Hey there, beloved reader! Don’t stop reading yet. I enjoy writing and creating content for you. Recently, I took on the Herculean task of fixing America and wrote a book on the subject; the very literal-titled “I’ll Fix America Tonight”. There is a a link where you can conveniently add the book to your Amazon cart (if you’re flush with about $20 in cash right now) or your wish list (if around $20 in cash is a little too much right now, but hypothetically not too much in the near future). Buy it, and help end poverty (namely my poverty). Thanks for reading!
