There’s a video going around of Jon Stewart confronting a highly influential rightwing propagandist with millions of followers inside and outside the GOP, including supporters of the former president.

I don’t need to tell you his name. I don’t need to explain the context in depth or why they found each other face-to-face or even why the former host of “The Daily Show” was blue face vein-popping angry.

All you need to know is this propagandist represented propaganda. Stewart represented good faith. He wanted the Congress to pass a bill he believed would help sick veterans. The other opposed the bill but didn’t offer good reasons. He offered various and sundry lies.

At one point, Stewart had enough.

“You’re a fucking troll!”

Parasites die

That’s not the good part.

The good part came immediately afterward when the propagandist, who’s normally spleen-venting in his rage against the supposed injustice experienced by white Christian men, instantly struck a pose of calm and composure, as if appealing to Stewart’s sense of reason.

It’s usually the other way around.

Not this time.

That’s the point I want to make.

Rightwing success is proportional to the degree of good faith provided by people whom the rightwingers believe do not have a right to exist. When the liberals (anyway, not rightwingers) turn off the good faith, rightwingers can no longer function. They can’t sabotage the enemy by using their sense of reason against them.
