This is also another case of how their voiced complaints is never really about the thing they that is really aggitating them.
When it comes to Kimmel what he actually said was that it was bad that MAGA were so quick to ascribe motive and score political points on it when we still didn’t know much. But MAGA want, need, us to parse those words to understand his real meaning - passing blame off the left, victim blaming Kirk.
Yet when it comes to Kirk himself parsing his words is bad faith. He can talk about DEI being something that promotes undeserving, unqualified people. He can talk about the (black) people who are in positions of authority are DEI hires and de facto unqualified or not competent. But parse those words to say, quite reasonably, that what he is saying is that black people are not as competent a whites, and that is unacceptable. For Kirk you need his exact words, verbatim, to make a complaint.
The point is not about criticism of the words said based on clear objective view of right/wrong or decent vs indecent. It is only about who is saying them, and about whom.
Isn’t it insightful that none of the people complaining about this thing were complaining before about a completely different thing that you’d have to be a moron to not see the differences between.
I am also seeing they cannot decide whether the outrage is because he lied (he didn’t, some people just dont understand how words work) or because it was a bad taste joke (it wasnt a joke, it was a condemnation of political point scoring).

It’s been a massive problem for a very long time. It becomes impossible to discuss anything with once reasonable people who have ‘turned’ to the right. They seem to have lost any ability to reason.
Start chatting about something and suddenly they get their phones out and show you posts that on a subject that are ‘justified’ by something completely unrelated.
It’s completely crazy and makes debate impossible. There’s always another unrelated reason why Thier initial point is correct.
If you live under a broken media circus it must be even worst. At least here in France we have France Info/France24 if you can only rely on social media and nutcase ‘news’ channels it’s no surprise your brain is a scrambled mess.
