Want to know what this is? Start here.
For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of being in this fucked up world, the political right loves people they can use as symbols. It’s not so much about the people as much as it’s about what the people represent.
For instance, when I had my 15 minutes of conservative political fame, I was the Democrat who went to the Trump rally.
It had nothing to do with me at all - I was symbolic of them winning someone over (the fact that I never became a conservative was incidental). Conservatives love nothing more than to glomming on to a token to show they’re really not the evil villains the Democrats claim they are.
When it didn’t work out with me (I never fit the image they wanted and refused to stick to the approved talking points), they found someone else and tried to replace me right before the 2022 midterms.
This is how they operate: an entire influencer class that’s made up of people in one of three categories:
They’re they’re best friends with, or related to, someone with a lot of money or power
They’re sleeping with someone with a lot of money or power
They represent some token that can be used to say “we’re not the bad guys, promise!”
Rob Smith is a gay black conservative who is famous on the political right for being a gay black conservative.
He fits the image - clean cut, veteran, good body, says all the right things.
But really, the only reason that Rob Smith is famous is because he’s gay and black. It’s a two-for-one deal.
Rob Smith works with Turning Point USA, the most useless waste of $40 million/year that exists in the conservative movement.
This is an organization whose only job was to activate the young conservative vote, and not only did they fail at that, they constantly find themselves being outshone by a 25-year-old in his mom’s basement and an army of incels.
Turning Point USA is the nemesis of Nick Fuentes and the Groypers.
And the Groypers, because they’re obsessed with what men do with their dicks, really hate that Rob Smith is gay.
So, when I found out that Rob Smith had run into some of them at a bar where they said mean things to him, I wasn’t really surprised. Nor was I surprised that Rob tweeted out the video to play victim:
Now, to be really clear, I don’t like the words the Groypers used (I have to say that so I don’t get canceled, but it also happens to be true). I don’t think it’s a good look.
However, there’s something I find far more offensive than mean words that someone doesn’t like.
Rob Smith going on CNN to whine:
This should be considered a high crime on any number of levels, and should be far more offensive to people on the political right than anything Nick Fuentes says and does, even when he’s being his most ridiculous.
CNN is the enemy.
And now Rob Smith is going on CNN to give the left more ammo to use against the political right?
No one likes to be called names, I get it. I get called fat and ugly all the time. I even get called fat and ugly by the Groypers. Whatever.
Do you know what I don’t do when people call me names?
I don’t go on CNN to whine about it.
Whine about it on your Twitter. Whine about it on your IG or your YouTube channel. Call Nick Fuentes gay for the 109,000th time. All that’s fair game.
But there are lines you do not cross, and CNN is one of those lines.
So, who deserves to be canceled more?
The Groypers for saying mean words that people don’t like?
Or Rob Smith for going on CNN to whine and give the enemy a cannon that will be used against the team he claims to be a part of?
You may not like what the Groypers did…but if you prefer aiding and abetting CNN to saying mean words at a bar, then you’ve lost the plot.
Am I in the minority when I say no one should be canceled?
