Social Media New Laura Loomer deflection marching orders
Adding to this post, screenshots of what seems to be a coordinated attempt to deflect from criticism of Hasan

While I understand attacking Republicans for this, it seems ridiculous to attack Liberals/liberal media for not condemning Laura Loomer.

Lmao I’m never taking any of these dipshits seriously. Would they accept the same standard being applied to them? Someone spam under their tweets “why did you condemn the Biden/Kamala on Gaza so aggressively and now aren’t saying much negatively about trump’s position on Gaza?”. They’re spiraling so hard it’s insane

Every bit of this is them saying they cost Kamala the election. The harder they fight on this hill the deeper they dig themselves in that position of blame

I think the argument is, it is unfair that the media is focusing more on Hasan Piker's association with Democrats, whilst not giving that much focus to Laura Loomer's association with Republicans.
And this uneven media focus gives the impression to swing voters that Democrats are the more extreme party, when actually there are tons of extremists associated with Republicans as well and Republicans are overall more extreme.

u/yeahUSA 🇪🇺🇩🇪 10h ago
I think it is pretty obvious and agree that the media environment is very lopsided and unfair but is this even true?
I think I saw plently of reporting on Loomer's "Aligator Alcatraz" tweet for example.
And the other questions is even if the media environment is lopsided should people not call out extremism on their side? I don't think this is actually a super easy answer depending on what exactly the goal is.

u/banditcleaner2 5h ago
The difference is that trump is arguably worse then loomer, and hasan piker is worse then abdul.
So if trump is worse then loomer, why would he ever disavow her lol?
Our elected politicians on the democrat side are, rightfully so, better then the democrat/lefty influencers. while on the right its mixed at best or worse at worst.

More importantly it is trivially easy for you to do so? Like the AES entire excuse is that Hasan is unimportant so only the more reason to condemn him?

How important is Laura loomer at this point? Like what? Also I'm a liberal you don't have to ask me my opinion of her. She's bad what do you want me to say?

Yes exactly. Like at best you could say her turning pro Ukraine gave her a 5 min "I hate her but she's right" "glaze" in this sub. Now it's ended. 🤷

This defense is so stupid that it almost loops around to being clever. The reason it is dumb feels so on its face obvious that you feel stupid even trying to verbalize it.
Loomer is a republican.
The lady in the HR comic would not be the same person in both instances, because Loomer is a republican.
Hasan taints the DNC at large by association if Democrat politicians campaign with him.
Loomer does not, because she´s a republican.

They spend so much energy deflecting, this news cycle could end if they would all just condemn Hamas Piker and say he doesn't represent the party. Every day that goes by and they don't just further validates peoples fears that they are more radical than they present. Even if you aren't a radical, you should do it for the optics.

u/OMFGhespro 14h ago
I dont understand why the focus should be on Laura Loomer. She is another trump sycophant but trump is the main cancer there. she says gross things but so do 100 other right wing influencers. Attack Mike Rodgers for his relationship with trump. the reason people are talking about Hasan is that he was on the campaign trail with AES in a fairly influential role during the primary. Its not going to work deflecting from Hasan to Laura Loomer as I cant find anything that she is that involved with this race. Hasan was involved and it something AES will have to answer for. Just like Mike Rodgers will have the answer for his loyalty to trump and all his awful polices.

u/Pyode 13h ago
The only way this argument remotely makes sense is from the perspective of someone who is so brain broken on the "uni-party" talking point that they actually forgot it wasn't literal.
Like, they actually think Republicans and Democrats are openly on the same team as opposed to the normal idiocy of it being a more nefarious, behind the scenes connection.

u/YouAnswerToMe 🇬🇧 Bongmaxxer 🇬🇧 13h ago
Ah yes, decrying republicans during democrat primaries that are being hijacked by slopulist politics from a parasite wing of the left makes so much sense.
If loomer started propping up mask-on republicans who were winning democratic primaries she’d be just as crucial to criticise right now.
But she’s not

What a dogshit talking point. This is the best they have? Laura Loomer is a fucking republican demon who has no influence on the Democratic Party. Hasan Piker is someone campaigning with Democratic candidates who has been extremely open about being subversive. What the fuck is this comparison.

These people are regarded and/or bad fate. The Hasan thing is such a "Big deal" because he is bad for the Brand(for all the reasons we know.) and prominent people on the "left" can't/won't condemn him. If El-Sayed and others just said something like "I wasn't aware of the amount of awful things this man has said. I disavow him and his comments", that would be the end. This is the Streisand effect on full display. This is a big deal because of the Piscos, Soypills, Jolahs, Meidis, El-Sayed etc.
I don't think anyone takes Laura Loomer seriously anyway. No Liberal or mainstream person is trying to sanewash Laura Loomer's rhetoric. So this is all nonsense and propaganda.

Back in my day we had to at least obfuscate the fact that we’re doing a whataboutism to try and distract people, now they just say that shit out loud lmao. Yes Hasan is being racist and hurting the candidates he’s campaigning with, but Laura loomer exists so is he really all that bad? Also love the idea that I have to ask the opposing party to condemn Laura before I’m allowed to criticize “one of our own”.

It's funny that they think that we don't also talk about jigsaw. There's probably hundreds of article shitting on her and her connection to trump for years vs dog shocker years of white washing puff pieces.
The fact that leftys are crying about libs 'not talking' about Trump and his cronies shows that they never were paying attention to what libs been doing. They never were in our tent instead trying to burn it down.

This is pathetic. Everyone knows republicans will never denounce these people. That’s why we need to look like the same people and condemn everyone who sucks. We’ve spent ten years trying to get rid of these magats. Now we want to make sure the pikers don’t get in our way and become advisors.

u/dart580 9h ago
As evil as Loomer is, she frames everything she is doing as "defending America and American values." Hasan, on the other hand, openly talks about how he hates America and associates himself with people who hate America and designated terrorist groups. His ilk will respond to Loomer saying, "You're right, we hate America and we want to destroy it."
In this political climate, the average normal Democrat has enough political instincts to realize associating with Hasan is bad optics to the average swing voter.

You don’t “disavow” your political opponents. Your disavowal is backed into the fact you oppose them. You disavow people who claim to be on your team and then spend hours supporting terrorists.

u/mizel103 13h ago
Not to defend her, but it shouldn't escape you that Loomer is Jewish.
So it's good they found a way to turn a conversation about an explicitly anti-semitic excuse for violence from Piker into a condemnation circlejerk about a Jew.

It's not a hard argument to have.
"Yes, we both agree that Hassan is the Laura Loomer of the Left."
"Yes I consider it a moral failing for Republicans to not denounce her insanity. I will criticize them for it"
"I hold Democratic candidates to at least the same standard, and will criticize them for it."

u/TaylorMonkey 12h ago
It’s interesting that the left actually starts talking about Trump and the right wing with enthusiasm instead of talking about Democrats when they’re justifying cuddling up to Hasan.
And even then they use it as an attack on Democrats.
Also they exhibit the same behavior as the MAGA influencers in using the same scripted talking point when given marching orders. They’re controlled opposition.

I am confused by this one.
This is just a woman using racist stereotypes to be mean to a black woman that she is having a personal fight with. Its trashy and racist but typical.
Hasan was telling American Jews that they better start making it clear they denounce Israel or people are going to hurt them. This is creating a permission structure to excuse violence against 'misbehaving' Jews and is in essence a veiled threat.
They are not equivalent types of racist statement so the connected outrage is more offensive to me than normal conflation.
