Throwing stones and glass houses

The reactionary right wing seems to have a truth problem. Not just in terms of the lies they all spew every moment they are conscious, but they seem to have forgotten that truths are stubborn things. They refuse to become untrue.

A few basic truths. Gravity always wins. Kindness is its own reward. Don’t try and catch a falling knife

But my favorite is that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

The rightists are doing some serious stone throwing. Trump is daily proving his mind is gone. And they think it’s a good tactic to claim Biden’s mind is gone?

Y’all just go right on. See how well that works for you.

They love to attack their opponents with accusations of what their biggest faults are. Unfortunately, the media is often a very poor filter for bullshit like that.

It's up to us to not only not fall for it, but to convince others of what it really is. Simple projection. We need to hold that mirror up to them and make them realize that their "heroes" are far worse than ours are.
