Well, that's not a critique, right? So this is a tactic that it's kind of a Ben Shapiro play where they start telling you what you just said, right? They changed the narrative of what the conversation is. And then you're supposed to go on the defense about something you weren't putting forth. All that man was doing was just correcting him on how her name is pronounced, and it becomes, oh, okay. So now, right away, it begins

Just to correct myself there. I meant to say unintentionally, and I said intentionally because I was about to discuss George H. W. Bush. So I did hear what he said correctly. I know what he was trying to say, but I listening back. I heard what I said. So just to put a little asterisk there

And I'm just hoping we could figure out a way for Swell. I don't know. I want Swell to lift us up somehow, and I guess finding solace in our agreements around this can help, but what's the next level? How can we lift each other? How can we figure this out? I don't know. It's so depressing. Good morning

And then when you call them out on the behavior that you're seeing, the gas lighting and all the other tactics that have become so commonplace, like with a Tucker Carlson or a Ben Shapiro or any of them. Really? No. You're saying that you're claiming that that's what's happening, because that's all you know how to do. I don't know what you do here. I don't know how you rebound from this
But as far as growing and accepting one another, it all is going to really ride on people and what they stand for. And it's real easy to be hateful and think that you're doing something when you're really not because we're all human beings. And there's not one person that is better than the other. That is a lie that has been put here in weak minded people's heads. And to start, I mean, look, we have civil war

But they were based in how she has approached problems in the past and how her decisions directly affected him being a man from California. And that's healthy. That's a debate. There are some things that I knew. There were some things that I didn't know. But it wasn't a meme. It wasn't a name. It was truly looking at who she was as a candidate. And I think we just need more of that
Okay. So I do a lot of thinking about Tucker Carlson, not because I love the guy, but particularly because I think he's one of the strangest organisms to ever walk the face of the Earth alongside Ben Shapiro. Of course, I think Tucker Dr. Carlson probably divides his time up evenly between these two things. So we have 99% of his day where he's being paid to criticize Democrats on television. The other 1% of his day is probably him reassuring himself that his mommy loves him

So in this day and age of mindless forwards, retaining the source of the content has a subliminal effect of having people view posts as things somebody has spoken as opposed to something that my friend has forwarded to me, and that is important because the former is less trustworthy than the latter
