What conservatives want is Reagan back, a man whose tough talk, bravado, and occasional potential-World-War-III-starting actions prevented Russia or Iran from doing anything at all, and certainly Reagan never spent ludicrous amounts of taxpayer money on programs designed to support his foreign policy

It's so cool that whenever conservatives (or liberals) bitch about pro-Palestinian college protests, they always have a bunch of picket signs like FREE PALESTINE and NO MORE GENOCIDE but then the artist realizes "oh poo poo these aren't evil enough" so then they just throw in one or two signs of like "I WANT TO KILL ALL JEWS". It's so self aware, such a reveal of the flaws in their approach, and yet it doesn't slow them up for a single second because they'll just react as though the signs they made up are completely real and very common. Making up your own reality and forgetting you made it up.
And I know the general argument is "oh yeah they know they're lying" but I don't think it matters, and I fully believe some people like Hitch just portray it that way and fully believe what they've drawn is true.

Remains the dumbest talking point of all time. I've yet to see anyone making this argument explain what power protesters have to compel a hostage release (that's before you get into who is blocking hostage release deals and why).
I'm sure there's some degree of intention obtuseness about what a protest even is, but so many open discussions about I/P are plagued by people blithely yelling 'just release the hostages', as if they're talking directly to Mr Hamas.

It's just where they've temporarily decided to set the goalposts down so they can dismiss the argument.

No matter what the protestors do or don't say, cartoonists like Mike here will declare their argument invalid because it failed to meet some arbitrarily established criteria that will immediately cease to be good enough either if anyone actually tried to satisfy the condition.

The reason for building an alternative conservative media ecosystem is to control the narrative. The whole project started after the success of the civil rights movement which showed the brutality of police and counterprotesters against unarmed marchers. This is a convoluted way of saying Hitch may not realize he is lying as he gets his news exclusively from sources that insist college students really want to kill all jews.
