From the text at the bottom of the screen....was a fragile mentality warning (TRIGGER warning): “Experts warn that inflammatory rhetoric from elected officials or people in power can prompt individual actors to commit acts of violence."
Basically, they were saying if you watched/heard his speech....you might be prone to conduct 'acts of violence'.
I sat and paused over this.
First, the text is incredibly small on the screen. Via my 48-inch TV....I could probably read it. From the bedroom 24-inch? No way.
Second, if you are going to start issuing TRIGGER warnings....it seems like you'd have to back to all episodes of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Rifleman, Dallas, Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, etc.....and run TRIGGER alerts at the bottom of each episode.
Third, it begs the question....how did we as a civilization survive for thousands of years without TRIGGER warnings? How did my people come over from the UK in the 1640s....without a TRIGGER warning onboard or there on the shore as we exited the boat?
Fourth, to be fair.....my anger/frustration level goes up whenever any of the ladies of the View come on.
Fifth, wouldn't I need a TRIGGER warning as soon as I crossed the border between Nevada and California, or crossing from Alabama into Tennessee?
Sixth and final....if you are suffering this badly and need TRIGGER warnings....shouldn't you be sent off to a facility for recovery/rehab? You know....some forestry camp in Oregon, to haul logs or plant trees....for six months?
Odds of me getting TRIGGERED now....by anything on PBS? Well....I have to admit....it's now got me into a fragile mindset.
The MSM and the Left are triggered every time President Trump speaks. They remember the regular whipping they got when he was president.
ReplyDeleteTrump is drawing even larger crowds now and they can't stand it.
Biden is still an incoherent basement dweller. And when he is in public needs to be lead around on a leash. And can't form a coherent speech without a teleprompter
