Laura Ingraham is so very predictably wrong, but her shrinking audience has to be kept terrified of "The Left."
By Frances Langum

Of course Laura Ingraham is taking the low road when it comes to virus protective gear for the general public.

It can't just be masks in public, it has to be a sekrit librul plot to hurt Donald Trump and force a takeover from her favorite bugaboo, "The Left." Transcript from Media Matters:

LAURA INGRAHAM: They'll say this whole mask thing is "settled science" just like they do with climate change, of course it is not and they know it. Our own experts have gone from masks aren't necessary to masks are essential and you have to wear them when you go jogging in just a few weeks time. Now Rush Limbaugh made a great point as he always does on the radio the other day and he said the virus itself as it weakens and states start reopening, the media that have been selling panic, panic, panic for weeks and weeks and weeks, they have fewer images to sell their hysteria to justify continued lockdowns. But the masks, well they're kind of a constant reminder. You see the mask and you think, you are not safe. You are not back to normal. Not even close.

PS She's also back to retweeting White Nationalists:

1. Mask wearing in public is like duck and cover

There's not much value in doing it before the air raid sirens go off.

And, even when you do do it, it doesn't make a lot of difference. But it makes some difference.

Why is Laura struggling with these concepts?

I see "settled science" in quotes on conservative forums a lot. So that's a "thing" apparently.

2. If it offends a fascist it is a liberal plot...

3. Hey Laura, put your money where your mask-less mouth is.

Why don't you go tour a meat/ poultry processing plant and interview some of the sick workers being forced to show up for work. Since the mask thing is just one big liberal plot, there is no need for masks.

Then go tour an ICU to do an investigative report on just where all those N95 masks are going. Again, no need for you to wear a mask. Wouldn't want to perpetuate the liberal myth of the dangers on COVID-19!

4. Corporatism is showing signs of aging. It's more rigid, inflexible, and unable to adapt.

Ingraham is the village crier, warning of fear and loathing in the common square. She's summoning the societal thugs to protect the power elite from loss of wealth by injecting wedge issues to activate the thugs.

That's about the long and short of it.

She is in denial that the virus is a real and efficient killer, and it will come for her eventually. Racism, fascism, or any other socially divisive factor will NOT diminish the power of the virus. She is trying to turn the virus into a culture war. The virus is not based on culture. It's based on biology. Ingraham will learn this soon enough.

IMO, millions will die before any hope of containment of the virus becomes a reality. We are not even considering that THIS virus rapidly mutates, so that any vaccine that is effective for one mutated strain may be ineffective for another.

We are in even more dangerous times than the virus dictates. Trump will use the virus to consolidate power. He'll demand that he remain in power for as long as his life can be sustained, because he's truly an insane and murderous leader. He will come to terms with the fact that he'll lose an election by making an election out of reach. He'll declare an emergency and cancel the election, or he'll be forcibly removed from power. We have not seen the ugliness that will come soon. We have not seen the unrest, the social clashes, the violence that Trump will inspire as his fear of defeat looms.

Hold fast, friends. Keep your vision wide and open. We are in for very rough times.

5. Michelle Malkin has basically (and ridiculously, as Billy Bob the Klanner and Heinrich the Neo Nazi

would gas and/or lynch her Filipino arse once they no longer had any use for her) went full blown holocaust denier and wannabe naziette, and Laura Ingraham is jelly that she can't be as clearly out n' about with the white power (although she really tries! and REALLLLLY wants to be!!) schtick atm.

Groyper refers to an exploitable illustration of Pepe the Frog resting his chin on interlinked hands, variations of which are commonly used as profile avatars among the alt-right and new right on Twitter and the alternative social networking service WrongThink.

Additionally, Groypers (also known as Groyper Army) is the name of a group of far-right and alt-right nationalists and conservatives critical of the mainstream conservatism and led by political commentator Nicholas J. Fuentes.

Origin

The earliest known use of the word "Groyper" on 4chan was in a post submitted by user "Big Dog Groyper" to the /r9k/ board on February 28th, 2015. The earliest known variation of the Pepe illustration was submitted to a thread on 4chan's /v/ board on March 25th, 2016 (shown below). It is currently unclear when the illustration was given the name "Groyper."
