1. Griffin's deranged tweet is useful as a window into an entire generation of citizens, who were never taught how to think critically.
And who suffered a massive 'narcissistic blow' on Nov 8, 2016.
2. Thinking critically - evaluating the truth of competing claims, using evidence that you have triaged with logic & experience, is difficult.
You have to suspend inherent bias & reach an objective conclusion.
The leftist mindset is incapable, as the Kavanaugh smear proves.
3. Critical thinking is an ancient tradition, a set of skills, passed on from ancient Greek thinkers (esp Socrates) and before.
The core message? Be sceptical.and humble. What others tell you is true, may not be. Test it against objective criteria, not gut feel or 'the herd'.
4. Any person with reasonable critical thinking skills, can see that #DrFraud's allegations against Kavanaugh are not credible.
Not because she's a leftist stooge.
But because objectively, the numerous inconsistencies and untruths in her tale, render it not believable.
5. When you have no critical thinking skills, such as Griffin, all you have left is emotion. The only way to win an argument is via bullying, hectoring, smear and violence.
And lies.
You must FORCE the other side to cower and hide. To do this, you need a MOB, with pitchforks.

A small army of African-American women across the South is using networks originally forged in segregation to muster turnout for Democratic candidates
The women are mobilizing in conservative states and districts, hoping to pull off upsets like Doug Jones’s Senate victory last year in Alabama, where 98% of black women voted for him and proved a critical base of support. https://t.co/RSD5JCJ0Ui
"We're trying to stir up the spirits of the folks who’ve been turned off this damn process." — LaTosha Brown, in Greenville, Mississippi, co-founder of Black Voters Matter Fund https://t.co/RSD5JCJ0Ui
Kewyata Dice works as a nursing assistant in Americus, Georgia. She sat out the 2014 and 2016 elections, but has promised to vote in this one. "I feel like I should get out and make my vote matter," she said. "Make myself matter." https://t.co/RSD5JCJ0Ui
Kayla and Kiana Blaine in Tallahassee, Florida, are fueled by a protectiveness and fear about the fate of black men. They applaud Andrew Gillum’s opposition to Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law and are recruiting fellow FAMU students to get out the vote. https://t.co/RSD5JCJ0Ui

The whole “you’re allowed to leave” thread hit me in all the feels. It reminds me of many many times in my life where I felt uncomfortable yet compelled to stick it out.
When I was 16, I quit school. My mom told me I had to go to college or get a job. I didn’t know at the time that I was suffering from agoraphobia, which had been my reason for dropping out. So college seemed intimidating, since it was right back into the same situation I’d left.
I opted to get a job, which she said I’d have to do either way since I had to pay my car insurance. I searched the classifieds in the newspaper since that’s what we did in the 90s. It was tough to find a place willing to hire a 16 year old.
There was nothing, except this one place called Artworks. I loved art and it appealed to me right away. They were looking for young people with a car looking for an opportunity to work in the “art world.” Exciting.
It said to show up at this warehouse in a warehouse district at 9am sharp on a Monday. I was extremely nervous and terrified of the people and being out around strangers but I had no choice. When I arrived there were a handful of applicants and several long haired grunge bros.
Me: \u201cYou are allowed to leave.\u201d

Literally thousands of people: \u201cI wish I knew this when I was younger, it would\u2019ve saved me so much pain.\u201d
Dudebros: \u201cHey whoa, hey now, hey.\u201d
Amazing that so many dudes advocating \u201cbuilding social skills\u201d can\u2019t read a fucking room.

Sworn affidavits online corroborate Ramirez/Swetnick's accounts of sexual assault (Ramirez)/witnessing sexual assault (Swetnick); Ford's prior disclosures (10) are public; Kavanaugh's perjuries are confirmed by testimonial evidence online. Do they think no one reads the internet?
2/ No, I'm serious: the only people the White House is trying to reach here are those who don't use the internet for news—ever—or those radicals who only read fringe publications that lie to them daily. If you've been following the Kavanaugh nomination online, you know the truth.
