KLAVAN: The Absurdity Of The Impeachment Narrative Is Its Only Strength

Andrew Klavan

It seems to me the left is now using absurdity as a strategy. I don’t know if they are doing this on purpose or by instinct or if they have simply become absurd and it sometimes helps their cause, but there is no question that the very stupidity of the things the left says and does makes it difficult to argue with them.

If someone makes claims about gun violence, say, or male-female differences, there’s a discussion to be had. Facts can be introduced, interpretations can be compared, reality can be examined, and opinions can reasonably take shape. But if you say a man can have a period or mathematics is a plot by white supremacists, there is no useful response beyond gobsmacked silence. To argue at all is to elevate gobbledegook to a level of discussion it simply doesn’t deserve.
