If it's an act...it's kinda fucked up and sick.
It's one thing if you're a wrestling manager or wrestler, trying to sell the good or bad vibes, in an extreme display of over the top theatrics (ultra paranoia, ultra patriotism, talking to a tennis racket, or a sock puppet), to the fans that think that shit is real. They boo and hiss and grandma yells crazy crap at the TV and you stand in the background laughing your ass off that she's bought the scene as plausible, real. And the wrestlers pay the price sometimes for that devotion of the fans to the fake reality. Fans send them hate mail, spit on them, throw chairs at them, take swings, try to jump them outside of the venues, at the bars, hell...even in the grocery store. Real bodily harm. It comes with the territory and wrestlers know it, accept it.
until you said this... I never realized that the GOP base, the most extreme.... are the same people who believe wrasslin is real.
it makes sense tho... their over the top actions and words.. they see MachoMan do it. (or did before he died) and that's what they expect from the leaders and media..
I'd never stifle his speech. I'd never insist his speech be curbed. But I can damn sure call out the match striker and his irresponsible use of such. And if one of his fans acts as a result of his absurdity...I really hope no one tries to sell it down the river that Mr. Jones had nothing to do with the crazy persons actions. If you facilitate the fear. If you facilitate the paranoia. If you tell those who buy your shit that you speak the unmitigated gospel truth...you're culpable.
bingo!
if you put a bullseye on a state.. then tell your fan base they can always use their '2nd amendment remedies'.. and to not 'retreat,but reload' instead.. all this AFTER saying how evil a person or party is, how they are killing babies and ruining this country, trying to end it and then begging for someone,anyone to stop it from happening... then yea, you're responsible..
but it shows the brilliance of the GOP that they can incite anything and everything and still say "I didn't do that, you did" and actually get away with it because the left doesn't want to look insensitive..the left doesn't realize that the good guy in wrasslin, still uses a fucking chair to the head to win..
look at Al Gore, he's been reduced to being a lunatic by the Right for his 'inconvenient truth' movie..he wasn't passionate,he wasn't emotional..oh-no, he was a tree-hugging,crazy liberal..hell-bent on taking your cars,your ac, your hair spray..
but Alex Jones loses his mind on the gun issue,demanding revolution and spews about being followed by the liberal secret police.. and well,he was just acting..
*rollseyes*
This is why I miss Anthony Wiener.. he was our version of a chair to head..
