    Johnson said he’s come to learn that being “real” and honest is more important than worrying about being canceled.

    Which is absolutely true, and what the manufactured outrage of the culture war on the right is fundamentally wrong about. Ted Cruz isn’t “keepin’ it real” when he’s talking about abortions or the free market. Elon Musk isn’t being real when he walks about the benefits of Tesla cars and conceals the many problems with them. Not a single free speech absolutist defends Palestinian support as free speech. Christopher Rufo has been open and transparent about his machinations to undermine leftism, which involves getting others to buy into his make believe world.

    They’re all grifters and liars. So, I can respect The Rock (hesitated to say Johnson, lest you think I mean the duplicitous House Speaker) and his principled position, but I respect Fox News and the rest of 'em to the same extent I’d respect blanket covered in piss found in a dumpster.

      Who in America is getting thrown in jail for supporting Palestians?
