Watch: America is an "out-of-control kid" who needs a mom

It isn’t a “both sides bullshit”. I am not equating the messages as being anywhere near the same, and only criticizing the delivery. Nor am I suggesting opposing racism is just like racism or standing up for peoples’ rights is the same as people who want to restrict rights.

Even though I agree with a majority of her points, I don’t agree with her delivery or tactic. (ETA to clarify - the her being the lady in the OP, not MTG) It is off putting and condescending and to be honest, I wasn’t 100% where she was going with it at first. The fact I wasn’t sure she was going to go left or right with her points shows that she is using the same folksy “common sense” rhetoric the right likes to use. Personally, I don’t think that is something that should be emulated. YMMV.

But hey, what do I know. The tactic has worked great for the right wing. Maybe that is just what the left needs.
