First of all, everything published on the Journal's editorial/op-ed pages has to be taken as something delusional and/or unhinged. They invented those pages as safe places for insane opinions and punditry. BTW: Rupert just shitcanned WSJ's editor for being too woke.
As for the failure for the deluded and those in denial to see the triumph of the right, well, it never, after decades of it, fails to amaze, at least the part of me that's a hopeful fool. OTOH, the belief of victimhood is what excites and motivates the GOP base so I'm stuck with it.
BTW: Liberal media is one of those perversions of language the GOP relies on like pro-life and freedom.
Then again, sick people putzing around with their pathologies, clouding facts and stuff. That is to say, I pretty much get Roy's confusion and frustration. Seeing what's been going on for decades now while many if not most ignore or deny it...

I'm convinced- this Swaim fellow is an asshole. Another perhaps pertinent data point- the principal at the junior high in the small town where I grew up was named Swaim. He was a major asshole. It could be a coincidence but you know, your fine article combined with my real world experience and I've made up my mind about those Swaims.
"whole little fungal effusion of conservative crybullies has sprung up in their damp shadows —"
One of my favorite Firesign Theater quotes comes shortly after the communist-college-professor-beatnik-hippie bit: "Mr. Policeman, what makes America great?" Says it all.
1. Anyone with a name like "Barton Swaim" should never venture an opinion in public about anything. It sounds like something W. C. Fields made up.
2. To restate your proposition in different terms, this is another example where reality hands a reactionary a round peg and he hammers it into the square hole of his ideology, as he does in every situation.
3. This was the biggest litany of non-events and invented outrages that I've read in some time.
Look, if my parents decided it was cool for me to spend my life with the name Barton Swaim, I'd have a chip on my shoulder, too -- but this guy is giving off Clockwork Orange vibes, like instead of merely hearing a teacher say "every child is treated equally" at Back to School night, he's strapped to a chair while she reads the entirety of Das Kapital aloud.
"He can’t watch a pro football game without enduring little pronouncements of wokeness."
Not since they assigned a Bard tenured professor of Semiotics to each and every household to block access to the kitchen and the bathroom during that part.
The self-owns are massive & thoroughgoing. And there is no one way that chud's real name is Swaim. The only reason such a piece exists in the WSJ is so that other propagandists & assorted RW donkey-fuckers can cite that it exists in the WSJ...
Kudos for the "liberal buttplug" idea -- the real affront here is, of course, that you can't even be conservative...
The fact that Swaim was published in the Wall Street Journal just proves how canceled he's been!
Conservatives KNOW that their ideas would be wildly popular if only they could force everyone to like their ideas.
Wait, what is Mr. Rightwinger’s spawn doing on a campus? Isn’t that where elitists are created?
Bodybuilding stevedores!

Boy Howdy is that ever great! 7 bucks worth easy!

2 marks!
Whenever I read this sort of whiny drivel conservatives I am reminded of saying by Hubert Humphrey:
"The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."
"Sometimes I don’t know how to take being so goddamn right all the time." My wife says I have the same problem.

Jesus, what a drama queen.

TL/DR Swaim: why do you keep making me hit you?
"Which I understand was in Swaim’s first draft!" The butt plug kicker for the win.
