CNN did a bad thing. Trumpeteers pretending to suddenly care about decorum, propriety, and getting upset at actions that are shady but not technically illegal can all get bent.

Punk was pretty libertarian or anarchist imo, but libertarians as they exist today werent around then so its wasnt really conservative. In fact thats kinda laughable when you think about it because lol if you thought they were pro any of the poo poo conservatives were up to during the cold war. Not one of those fuckers was pro reagan till reagan was dead and thats basically because half of punk rock is just being a contrarian idiot with flash.

As think as time goes on we're gonna reach a saturation point where basically every person on Earth has a history that be dredged up to smear them and people won't give a gently caress anymore. Like we will reach a point where you will be the one people are annoyed with if you bring up someone's past unless it was both relevant and very recent.

We are going to hit a threshold where people just don't give a gently caress.

There was a decent article about the recent election in Britain (that included Trump) that basically that reasons the worst thing to be politically in this day and age is a hypocrite

https://www.lrb.co.uk/v39/n14/william-davies/reasons-for-corbyn

quote:

One of the striking results of this new media ecology is that traditional smears no longer seem to work as effectively as they did. Both Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Theresa May in 2017 sought to do down their opponents by drawing attention to their past behaviour. A tape of Trump bragging about grabbing women ‘by the pussy’ was leaked, presumably on the assumption that it would finish off his campaign once and for all. Corbyn was hammered over and over again for his past sympathies with the IRA, with the effect that Labour’s manifesto (and its vulnerabilities on Brexit) went relatively untouched.

The strategy failed because in this new environment, there is something worse than to err, and that is to be two-faced. Trump’s behaviour was shocking but scarcely out of character. Aggression and an overturning of ‘political correctness’ were what fuelled his campaign in the first place. As for Corbyn, his entire political career has been spent challenging Western imperialism and military rule. These smears didn’t tell the public much that they hadn’t already sensed – and could find out by Googling – about the candidates’ characters and priorities. By contrast, ‘liberal elites’ are vulnerable to the charge that their public and private lives don’t match up: they preach public service and altruism, while having two kitchens (Ed Miliband), making $675,000 from speeches to Goldman Sachs (Clinton) or not knowing exactly how many properties they own (David Cameron).

There's also white power punk bands, that doesn't mean that the majority were conservative shitheads like whatsisface is claiming. Yeah, Jack Grisham was a huge selfish rear end in a top hat when he was younger, that doesn't mean TSOL was goose stepping to republican dogma.
