For a very long time mainstream media has been conflating the word “moderate” with the word “conservative,” and moving the Overton Window further to the right.

And at the same time, the words “leftist” and “radical” and “extremists” are also being conflated, but that’s a discussion for another time.

Liz Cheney is not a moderate. Chris Christie is not a moderate. Nikki Haley definitely is not a moderate. I guess it’s nice that they are finally calling out Trump, but they all voted for Trump (twice!) and none of them are good people. (How do I know they aren’t good people? Because they spent most of their adult lives and careers supporting harmful conservative policies that intentionally target women and poor/Black/disabled/LGBTQ people to harm.)

The same goes for pundits like Ana Navarro and the other MSNBC “former” Republicans and Republican strategists who don’t like Trump anymore, but are still “proud conservatives.” They support most of Trump’s policies even if they don’t support Trump anymore. And Nikki Haley has even said that if the choice in November comes down to Biden or Trump, she believes that it’s who is Biden the bigger threat to America. (source)

And Nikki Haley has repeatedly said that she would pardon Trump, so that’s another big NOAP for me.

Look, I understand that neoliberals and conservative leaning Democrats have a tendency to kick left + kiss right, but people have GOT to learn that just because a conservative might occasionally do something right, like oppose Trump, that does not magically transform them into good people™ worth elevating or supporting.

One last thing: I’ve seen a lot of Biden supporters get all caught up in their feelings because Jon Stewart made fun of (gasp) Biden’s age. Listen: WE are not the ones who are in a cult! It is 100% okay for voters to joke about and criticize people in power. It’s MAGA who cannot criticize their dear leader, remember? It's the other guys, THE CULTISTS, who cannot accept even the lightest of criticisms.

“But Republicans will use it against us”

Yes, Republicans will use anything and everything against us, whether we said it or not. That’s what they dO. They lie, make shit up and try to use literally anything—true or false, good or bad—against non-Trump supporters. Being good and honest and not saying anything Republicans disagree with will not gain you any votes with Republicans.

Look, Idgaf about what Republicans and other people on the right think. About anything. Idc. Their opinions don’t matter and they aren’t going to change who I vote for in November 2024. I’m not worried about trying to change their hearts and minds, because they’re heartless and mindless.

At the end of the day, I dO think that msm tends to run with rightwing narratives, but once again, none of that foolishness will change my vote.

Put your grownup pants on and don’t get caught up in the drama.

Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX-32) is the Democrat running against Sen. Ted "Cancún" Cruz for US Senate this year.

Rep. Allred visited The Daily Show to talk with Desi Lydic this week.

In addition to reminding viewers of what an embarrassment Cruz is, he talked about Texas Republicans' war against reproductive freedom.

It was mentioned in the conversation that Rep. Allred was the first House member ever to take paternity leave.

He also repeated his support for a two-state solution regarding Israel-Palestine. That position has now become standard among Democrats.

For anybody who would like to help Colin Allred defeat Ted Cruz...

Colin Allred for Senate

BONUS TRACK: Remember when Donald Trump was calling Allred's opponent "Lyin' Ted"? It's now ironic in this clip from 2016 that Trump was making fun of Cruz for waving a Bible around.

Desi Lydic Has A Wicked Prediction For Where Trump Is Heading Next

“At this point, it just seems like Trump is trying to be in every section of the newspaper: finance, politics, style, city crime,” she said. “It’s only a matter of time until he drops a theater review: ‘Just saw ‘Wicked,’ total witch hunt.’”

See more in her Tuesday night monologue:
