When conservative politicians, media personalities, and other right wing public figures make critical, abusive, or bullying statements aimed at āenemiesā of conservatism it is their goal to impress their audiences or constituents. Such statements are also the speakersā method to validate the hatred conservatives feel towards these āenemiesā as the speaker increase his (or her) own popularity at the same time.
The nasty, abusive, and/or bullying comments are welcomed by the speakers' conservative audiences and constituents, so, why do these conservative heroes typically apologize days or even hours later?
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is the most recent conservative hero to eat his words and publicly apologize for insulting an individual or group of conservative āenemiesā. The conservatives' āenemiesā Bevin attacked were the teachers in his state.
During a Friday interview with a local television reporter, while addressing a teachersā strike, Bevin offered his conservative words of wisdom saying āHe could guarantee that somewhere in Kentucky a child was sexually assaulted after being left home with no supervision because of the walkout.ā
Of course, rational Americans understand the governorās assertion was asinine, but also realize the stupid nature of his statement did, indeed please his conservative constituency.
Like Laura Ingraham, after tweeting, " āDavid Hogg Rejected by Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPAā¦totally predictable given acceptance rates.)' ", she ate her words when Hogg and his legion of Twitter followers forced a sponsor boycott of her FOX Noise show.
In her attempt to appease her sponsorsā anger, Ingraham tweeted, " āAny student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA ā incl. @DavidHog111.' then adding, āOn reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland.' "
These two conservative heroes are just the most recent in a long, long list of their ilk, who, after blow-back from rational Americans, disappoint their loyal followers by refusing to own the insult(s) or nasty remark(s) they made to impress their audiences.
Conservatives should, no, must after one of their heroes says something stupid, immediately write, call, Email, or tweet their support for whatever idiotic statement he (or she) made.
Conservatives owe this to their heroes. Showing their support in this way will keep conservatives very, very busy, and involved.
Happily, progressives as a whole, experience the public embarrassment caused by such actions far, far less often than conservatives. Mostly due to the fact progressives embrace education and civility.
