"As a result, all eyes were turned to Rumble – a right-wing platform financed by Peter Thiel – to see how the vice-president is not only using the death of Kirk to turn him into an icon, but also to announce a new McCarthyist era. "
NB. Its important to remember that Rumble and similar ventures were motivated and enabled by the McCarthyism of the Left over the last few years, deplatforming non-left voices.
Its certainly depressing to see the Right resorting to the same tactics with the failed cancellation attack on Jimmy Kimmel etc but lets not forget that this terrible culture is well-established, just the boot is moving to the other foot.
I look at this madness and what I don’t see are: government, policy, solutions. I just see a circle jerk of social media nonsense with wealthy people in the background pulling the strings. Who is stupid enough to bother with this?

Right or left, it sucks.
