In CNN, approval or murder is not worse than voting for Donald Trump.
In fact, voting for Trump can be less acceptable, given the way in which the senior correspondent of CNN, Donie O’Sullivan, framed this question with Taylor Lorenz:
“I am sure that you would like to be compared to a Trump supporter,” O’Sullivan scratch her, “but part of the way people cannot understand why people sympathize with the mangrary,” that Luigi Manfangion, “Executive free-free-free, moving media, does not understand why people support Trump.”
Lorenz, a former Washington Post reporter and New York Times who is now an online “influencer”, caused all the outrage he expected with his sympathy for Mangione’s popularity on the radical left.
“You are going to see women, especially, who feel, like, my God, here is who is a revolutionary, who is famous, who is handsome, who is young, who is intelligent, is a person who seems to sprout”, what “what”, “what,” “what?” “Which. “
Lorenz points out, if it is not a sponge of attention, it is possible that he no longer has a great media concert, but his journalism has always reached the headlines rather than informing about them.
However, his appearance on “Misionfonation: Extreme America” of CNN was so remarkable for O’Sullivan’s questions regarding the answers to shock Lorenz.
In fact, voting for Trump and making a hero out of a murderer arises “because many people are really desperate”, as they out, then the true story that CNN should be covering is the Levante-and-deD-and-deD-Y-Deth-Ded-Y-Ded-Y-de-N-de-N-de-N-de-N-de-Me-and-Deth-Don-Deth-Y-Ding -and-Ding-And-Ding-And-Ding-And-Dethe-Y-Dethhe-Y-and-Y-Dethhe– and De-Fethe-Y-Fethe-and Se-Foet-Y-Fethe-And-Ding-And-Ding-And-Ding-Ding-And-Ding-And-Ding-Ding-Dathte -and-Ding-And-Dathte-And-Dathte-And-Dathte-And-Dath-And-Dathet
Lorenz accepted the premise of O’Sullivan: Trump’s voters and mangrary lovers are the same, he agreed, because “they want someone to face the system. They want to cross the thesis establishment institutions.”
Brian Thompson was not an institution: he was a man whose laughter has changed anything.
Bajo Trump, the populist law was organized to win at the polls and use the legal authority to shake the institutions, which is what the president is doing now.
The riots of January 6, 2021 in the United States Capitol by Trump’s supporters were not characteristic or what has otherwise carried a non -violent political movement for reform.
But violence is too characteristic of leftist activism in the streets and the mentality behind it, as Lorenz’s interview testifies.
Faced with the defeat in the surveys and an administration using its mandate to change the institutions, the left has quickly desperately desperate and turned towards violence, increasing from vandalism to the attacks of caused fires, as in New Mexican, against.
Lorenz and O’Sullivan are not launching Molotov cocktails, or of course, but they are content to put the fanclub of a murderer on the same level as Trump’s voters.
Progressives who avoid violence must be the strongest to protest this moral equivalence.
But even the non -violent left has regularly characterized Trump and his followers in terms that shout by bloodshed, after everyone, how could anyone expect if the country really was in the midst of a “fascist” acquisition?
Mangione’s glamorization shows another side of the inclination of the left due to violence over politics: it is romantic and exceptional in a way that the elections are not.
While political law dreams of adjustment rates, Taylor Lorenz went fantasized with “this man who is a revolutionary, who is famous, who is handsome.”
Like Che Guevara, the communist revolutionary bloody who found immortality as a university pinup, Mangione mixes sex and violence with the sense of justice of a radical narcissistic.
It is a beer that Lorenz finds intoxicating, and maybe CNN also does.
It is certainly good for buzzing.
The Trump movement has its emotional and aesthetic side, but it is channeled to real policy in the Republican primaries and the general elections.
And its most extravagant expressions are not found in the streets, but in memes and diatribes of social networks.
The left is different, increasingly channeling the emotion away from candidates and policy disputes and towards street action and violent fantasies, whether they are fearful fantasies of a Nazi acquisition, or exciting visions of a murderous rise against power.
Instead of presenting “extremes of America” documentaries that triumph over Trump’s voters and the apologists of a murderer as essentially the same, CNN would make their spectators a service by showing them the difference between an effective right and danger.
However, the same sensationalism that supports Taylor Lorenz can also be CNN to know how to sell.
