Playing the Game

If you were alive, awake, and politically aware back in the days of Obama’s presidency, you probably remember more than a few Republicans and conservatives breathlessly warning us about the evils that the Obama administration wanted to inflict upon America. The lists of crimes and evils they would natter on about was long and impressive and, frankly, more than a little scary if they had actually been telling the truth. But they weren’t telling the truth about Obama and the things he wanted to do to America and, as with so many other things, once the Republicans and conservatives were given enough time they proved that all their warnings were just them projecting their desires onto others and, as is typical with them, they were actually warning us about what they wanted to do.

Okay, this is one of the- what sometimes feels like many -ways far-left progressives make themselves look foolish to anyone not living in the same echo chamber bubble they spend most of their time in.

Quite some few, or even many at this point, years ago, a former acquaintance of mine was, as he had done many times and would do many more times on a particular forum, ranting away about how disingenuous the Pro-Choice crowd was because they, with the help of the MSM, had gotten everyone to call them Pro-Choice. It was dishonest, he ranted and raved, because they weren’t pro-choice but rather pro-abortion. Several people pointed out that, no, it was a completely accurate name for the movement because, despite the best mischaracterizations of the conservative media, the people in the Pro-Choice movement were, in fact, pro-choice. Any number of people who believed in a woman’s right to choose might not, in fact, ever choose to have an abortion themselves or even personally be against the idea of ever having one. They also wouldn’t, if asked by a friend for advice, promote abortion as a first or even second option to people. But, it was an option and one they believed women should have available and women should be able to make their own choice.

Thus, prochoice rather than proabortion.

There are a lot of people in the conservative punditry who want you to know they’re very upset about the term “white rage” being used on television the other day and their many followers are just as angry about it.
