I remember when all their trained seals were told to keep calling all satire “Alinsky-like tactics”. None of this made any fucking sense, but because there was a Black guy in the White House, they all completely lost their fucking minds.
I had a lot of fun asking these yo-yos if they even knew who Alinsky was. I’d ask if they read the book and if they could tell me what was so bad about it, and what does “Alinksy-like tactic” even mean to them (besides: “I don’t like a Black guy in the WH”).
I would ask them if satire pre-dated Alinsky. Blank stare IRL, or they’d typically drop out of the discussion if it was online…but yeah, a lot of them seemed to be getting messaging that satire==Alinsky==bad. Probably because conservatives are notoriously bad at satire - both in creating it and understanding it. In any case, they seem to have given up on that stupid effort.
