I mean, who doesn’t love a good Nazi salute to get the party started, right? But, apparently, the French leader wasn’t having it, and canceled their speech at CPAC after Bannon’s little mishap. And, honestly, who can blame them? I’d cancel too if I had to share the stage with someone who thinks it’s okay to throw up a Heil Hitler like it’s a frat boy’s secret handshake.
And, let’s be real, CPAC is already a bit of a crazy train, so maybe it’s not the best idea to add a dash of Nazi flair to the mix. But, hey, at least they’re consistent, right? I mean, who needs things like decency and respect when you can have a good ol’ fashioned fascist salute? (Just kidding, that’s not a thing, or at least it shouldn’t be).
But, seriously, has anyone actually seen the CPAC speech schedule? It’s like a who’s who of questionable life choices. And, don’t even get me started on Bannon – the guy’s like a bad omen in a badly fitted suit. Anyway, I guess the French leader just didn’t want to be associated with all that icky racism and stuff. Can’t say I blame them, really.
And, while we’re on the topic of значения (that’s Russian for “values,” by the way), has anyone actually read the CPAC mission statement? It’s like they sat down and said, “You know what would be a great idea? If we emasculated the concept of conservatism and turned it into a clown show!” (Just a thought, guys). But, hey, at least they’re consistent in their hypocrisy, right? (Sorry, not sorry).
But, I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to rebrand far-right ideology as something palatable – you end up with a hot mess like CPAC. And, honestly, who needs facts and evidence when you can just, you know, make stuff up and hope nobody notices? It’s like they’re trying to create some kind of Bizarro World where up is down and down is up, and Nazi salutes are just a fun little party trick.
And, on a completely unrelated note, has anyone tried decaf coffee? I’m seriously considering switching – this whole caffeine thing is getting out of hand. But, I digress. Back to CPAC: I mean, what’s next? Are they going to invite David Duke to give a keynote speech on the virtues of white supremacy? (Please, for the love of all things good and holy, don’t).
