Via Daily Caller:
We live in an era of perpetual outrage because outrage distracts people from focusing on more important issues (like the fact that American workers’ real wages have been stagnant for decades thanks to deindustrialization and illegal immigration policies favored by globalists). Because some elites benefit by keeping the public distracted, the liberal media constantly bombards us with “outrageous scandals” like the story about the hunter who killed Cecil the Lion or the clothing company that marketed a sweater bearing the phrase “coolest monkey in the jungle” with a cute black child model—which sparked “outrage” until the boy’s mother shut it down.
The most recent outrage cycle involves Trump’s alleged statements that Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations are “shithole” countries. Predictably enough, liberals like Democratic senator Dick Durbin and Joan Walsh (author of “What’s the Matter With White People?), pounced upon the President’s putative comments as an opportunity to virtue-signal. Supposedly, they are better than the President because they would never, ever say something so “horrible” and “racist.” But their sanctimonious prattle is annoying and disingenuous.
