friends!
How curious is it that the Obamacare is being sold to us with such a strong emphasis on LGBT, when gay comprise only 2-3 per cent of the population, and the drag queens below are even a smaller minority within that minority?
Something tells me we are being cleverly played.
That is, one part of the population - the opponents - are being taunted and goaded to react with anger and say something politically damaging, for which they'll be forever ridiculed, and a crowd of MSM reporters eagerly awaits in the bushes with their mics, cameras, and pre-scripted commentary.
The second part of the population, conditioned to hate the first part, is gullible enough to do any stupid thing in the world if they're told that it would annoy the "bigots." They'll vote for things that are against their own self-interest just to spite the other side.
So the clever folks who sell Obama's policies have figured out they can get what they need by leading people to believe that when they sign up for Obamacare they're only helping a poor oppressed minority against a dimwitted bully - when in fact they're signing up for the takeover of this country by authoritarian collectivist crooks.
In a way, it's like a smartass telling a kid "This bully says you're a wimp and you'll never touch this frozen flagpole with your tongue." As a result, the kid gets stuck to the pole, the "bully" gets punished, and the smartass laughs and collects winning bets.
This happens not just with Obamacare. Remember all the grotesque, provocative things Obama and his posse did or said during his presidency. The result is always the same: our side gets enraged, the media portrays us as intolerant bigots, racists, homophobes, islamophobes, misogynists, etc. - and rallies the public. The gullible LIVs rush to defend the "underdog" and help the Democrats get their way - win elections, pass legislations, appoint their people to key positions, etc. We get screwed and the producers of this show clink glasses backstage and collect their winnings.
This may explain why the Left has recently become so absurd that satire no longer applies. You can't parody a self-parody and you can't outclown a clown.
The Pajama Boy seems to be part of this strategy, along with all the over-the-top LGBT support for Obamacare and this president in general. E.g., as if by magic, just as #PajamaBoy hashtag started trending on Twitter, Salon.com immediately published a hit piece titled
Conservative Twitter hate-loves Organizing for Action's new Obamacare meme, while also Tweeting this line:
Conservative Twitter gets homophobic on their new Obamacare piñata: #pajamaboy https://slnm.us/5Pv33uY - despite the fact that not a single conservative quote contained the aforementioned irrational fear of homosexuality.
So far our side has been merely reacting at what the other side is throwing at us - often reacting in a predictable way - unwittingly playing into their hand in a game that is rigged and controlled by them.
You may not like the word "proactive," but this is how they operate: they initiate the action and we merely react to it, like animals to an irritant.
Not that we shouldn't keep mocking their absurd actions and ideas, but we should stop being merely reactive and start initiating our own constructive actions and ideas. And the next time they throw another irritant at us and we want to react to it in the usual way, we should pause and think if that is not the reaction they are betting on.
And now, without further ado, the promised article:
A group of drag queens in Louisiana has decided to use their cross-dressing talents to help promote Obamacare. Wednesday Night Tea — “a unique, interactive drag queen show held every Wednesday at Central Station in Shreveport, Louisiana” — has partnered up with the non-profit Out2Enroll to help market Obamacare to the LGBT community. Out2Enroll focuses on informing those in the LGBT community about the benefits of Obamacare and on enrolling them in insurance plans and events in cities across the country.
