Gene Simmons calls for calm and common sense in today’s heated political climate.
All right, listen up, now, you leftists: Gene Simmons wants you to calm down. And he’s right.
The KISS frontman is an unlikely source for political wisdom, but on Sunday, he said what a lot of people need to hear, particularly the overheated leftists for whom politics is a religion and patriots are heretics who must be burned at the stake, or at very least lectured, harried, and harassed at every opportunity.
Simmons offered this wisdom on, of all places, CNN, where this sort of thing should be repeated every day at noon, maybe right after leftists have finished screaming abuse and vitriol at Trump during the Two Minutes Hate. (No, they don’t really do that, but on the other hand, yes, yes, they do.) He said: „It’s nobody’s business who you support. Nowadays, people engage in, ‚So are you pro or‘, and my first question is, ‘Who the f— are you? Who are you?’ Since when does who I support or not support is the business of anyone except my conscience?“
The answer is that it became everybody’s business, at least as far as the left is concerned, when leftists politicized absolutely everything, and demanded, like the totalitarians they are, that people in all situations and walks of life affirm their political orthodoxy. If you couldn’t buy a Bud Light without affirming that men can become women, and couldn’t watch a sporting event without seeing athletes take a knee during the National Anthem in mute protest against the alleged injustices of the American system, and if you couldn’t have a family Thanksgiving gathering without some self-righteous blue-haired harridan yelling at you, then Simmons has a point.
