The last sentence makes the argument that Spencer’s statement will not have any meaningful appeal to leftists, but will be seized upon by liberals as an excuse to tar the left as crypto-fascists. And that this is Spencer’s intent.
I get the hatred of Left-yakkers for the centrist drumbeat of the Putin-Rump scandal.
It’s important to remember though that the whole world going berserk about the same two rich assholes is the prerequisite for realizing that so many of these guys are just what they look like: privileged, ultrarich assholes with far too much power and not enough brains or soul.
Up next: Netanyahu, Salmon, Rouhani, May, Abe, Orban.
Guys like Thiel, Musk, Bezos, etc. can only be put in check if we can put their inferior superiors in check too.
I see it now.
I parsed what she said as “because liberals elevate Spencer as a serious threat” not “because liberals will take him at his word” so I had trouble making sense of it.
