    Never said go their levels but seriously…

    Letting them use digital propaganda to set the narrative while we still chant that tired ass line, “when they go low, we go high?”

      Fair enough, and I agree.

      On a side note, the whole virtue signaling thing was invented by conservative propagandists. Like everything with them it is pure projection as they have always been the biggest virtue signalers with their family values and church values nonsense.

      We can see with this latest episode with Kirk just how ridiculous of virtue signalers they are. You should only be using this term to throw it back in their faces.

      Using it on progressives is basically unnecessarily internalizing their BS message. At least that is how I look at it.

        Progressives actually care when that term is used. Conservatives just latch to the next thing Progressives say just to bastardize it since they lack creativity outside of cruelty.

          They have done this to so much of our lexicon and it really is ridiculous. Whenever someone randomly brings up some high level academic thought experiment like woke, cultural appropriation, or systemic racism you know you are in for a big dose of dumb.
