Make No Mistake:
This obsession with
@hasanthehun is happening for 2 reasons:
1) Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's race for is THE most important of the midterm elections. It will determine whether the Dems take back the Senate.
If the Dems take back the Senate, Trump is getting impeached.
2) The DSA endorsed candidates, like Dr. El Sayed, are threatening to BOTH Republicans AND Establishment Democrats.
THEY HAVE AN ENEMY IN COMMON.
Schumer & Jeffries and their defeatist, resigned, compromised way of politicking ain't gonna last very long once congresspeople who intend to get things done arrive.
The point is: THEY'RE TRYING TO TRICK US.
Both sides of the media want us to believe that Hasan is a Muslim terrorist, so that wel'll believe Dr. El-Sayed is a Muslim terrorist by association.
Every time Hasan's name is spoken, they want El-Sayed's to follow right behind it. It's a psychological persuasion trick people have used for centuries. I literally heard someone on the news the other day say, "Hasan Piker IS Abdul El-Sayed and Abdul El-Sayed IS Hasan Piker." (Honestly, I didn't even want to write that our because I know the psychological impact of statement like that - even when they're used in a separate context.)
And the Dems' strategy of, “stop talking about it,” is a ridiculous suggestion. It’s like WET PAINT don’t touch.
So what to do?
How about maybe showing people that El-Sayed associating with Piker is actually totally okay because...
HE'S NOT A MUSLIM TERRORIST LIKE HE'S BEEN PAINTED OUT TO BE and they just genuinely share more socialist minded political goals????
In most cases, the media could just play the whole damn clip of Hasan that's been edited, and show people he was, for example, reading a comment out loud by another user and wasn't speaking for himself.
But there are probably THOUSANDS of clips out there of him saying how he believes no innocents should every be harmed, how he cares about the safety of women, and Jewish people, and all the other people he's been accused of denouncing and condemning. Clips from every year he's been streaming over the past decade. People who watch him are all looking at this chaos and it's baffling to them because - if you actually do your homework to try to understand why people listen to Hasan, you'll see that there's nothing wrong at all with El-Sayed engaging with him.
Defending his association with Hasan is an impossible task for El-Sayed to do on his own -- especially with every side of the media coming down on him and putting him on the defensive about anti-semitism the moment he walks through the door -- even though, and you can quote me on this -- El Sayed has LITERALLY NEVER said anything Jewish people should consider threatening or problematic. Ever.
Which is why the discourse has now become -- oh actually statements about Israel's politics are anti-semitic -- because they literally have nothing els eon him.
Frankly, I don't even know Hasan. I haven't communicated with him at all outside of that 1 hour I spent in his studio. I just -- truly and honestly, with all my might -- cannot stand this Islamophobia. And I can't stand that my people - the JEWISH people - are being manipulated and scared into believing something that isnt true, so establishment Dems and Republicans can hold onto their seats.
I'm certain I'll get a ton of backlash for this post - as I have from every other -- But one day, the truth will come out.
And you can say we told you first.
* Talarico is up there - but is nowhere near as volatile.
It’s almost beyond parody that almost all the Dems choosing to attack Piker and the Democratic left are doing it on… Fox. Totally normal and good-faith.
