the left says, "Et tu, Chris?"

Like some other recent lefties, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo (derisively nicknamed "Fredo" not long ago) says he's at least open to the idea of voting for Donald Trump. First, Fetterman calls for Menendez's ouster, now this. The end times must be upon us. And you've got other lefties like Ana Kasparian (of the Young Turks) coming out and saying right-aligned things (I wouldn't call her a rightie convert by any means—any more than I'd call Tim Pool or Dave Chappelle or Joe Rogan a rightie). It's hard to know who's who anymore. 

Best advice: forget what all the talking heads say, do your own research, reach inside yourself, examine your own damn conscience, and figure out where you stand. You don't have to establish a position on every single issue, but gain some idea of who you are politically, then be true to that alignment. And yes, it's OK to change your position based on further information. God knows I've changed, and this blog is littered with my admissions of being wrong on this or that issue. Change is fine, but don't be a hollow shell that needs to be filled solely with the thoughts of others, and by the same token, don't be the person who is constantly uprooting and reinventing himself based on others' opinions while never engaging in his own self-reflection. Neither type of person is authentic.

  1. The more converts, the better. Being on the right doesn't always make you right, but at least you are in your right mind.
