what is a virtue signal

And it's pretty rich accusing me of virtue signaling considering what all your comrades on the left are doing...black boxes for the win? Silence is violence? Defund the police? Empty, stupid slogans so white liberals can feel good about themselves and get some more IG followers in the process. A pretty damning indictment on the American education system is what it is. Critical thinking is for the birds I guess

My point has always been that both sides do it. The right is worse. Your point is that the right does it, but you focus on the left more for some reason.

For the protests, people were emphasizing the importance of masks and some standard of safety. Not at the rallies. That's a crucial difference. If Trump and co had made an effort to be as safe as possible with the rallies, and potentially held them outdoors, we wouldn't be hearing as much criticism. I'll agree that black boxes and defund the police are largely virtue signaling. Here's the difference between you and me: None of that **** affects me when I cast my ballot. You seem to think that because you disagree with some leftists, you can't vote for any politician on the left. You haven't justified that point.

I wouldn't bring up any of this stuff if you weren't so hyper-focused on what some people in the left are doing. Personally, I don't really care about conservative media. I care about what politicians are doing and about policy, because that's what gets my vote. I don't understand how someone could view the world another way.

People on the right are NOTORIOUS for flip-flopping. This is proven, statistically. They follow the leader far more than the left does. Conservative news outlets consistently make audiences more misinformed than "liberal" ones. And conservative "activism" is also stupid. Yet you seem to only care about hypocrisy and problems on the left. Why?

One more thing: "social justice satanic"? What?

Trump is making his cult members sign a waiver so they can't sue him for getting corona at the rally.

I am not calling social justice satanic, I am comparing the current hysteria (racist witchhunts..."a 15 year old kid made an off color tweet lets ruin his life! etc") with the satanic panic of the late 80s early 90s "everyone's a satanist, ritual murder here, there, and everywhere" etc.

OK, I guess.

I wouldn't give you so much crap if you didn't blame Democratic politicians. Still don't know what Joe Biden has to do with any of this.
