Tearex, Dinesh D'Souza, America's greatest conservative troll, explained

For you to say to any non-conservative "That's all yours" about anything someone else has said is just plain ignorant. Utterly stupid.

Here's how he went from being a respected conservative intellectual to a conspiracy-minded felon.

On May 31, President Donald Trump, one of America’s premiere conservative trolls, decided to pardon Dinesh D’Souza .. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/5/31/17413134/trump-dinesh-dsouza-pardon-conservative-filmmaker , a conservative writer and documentarian whose penchant for trolling and needling liberals, and embracing conspiracy theories in the process, rivals that of Trump himself.

If that comparison seems unfair, just watch the trailer for D’Souza’s 2016 film, Hillary’s America:

It references D'Souza's past conviction for violating campaign finance law (for which Trump is pardoning him), portraying his prosecution as a politically motivated witch hunt, and seeks to tie the current Democratic party to the Ku Klux Klan and slaveowners (Democrats were historically the pro-segregation, pro-slavery party until the parties flipped on race around 1964).

It features a cameo from Jonah Goldberg, the National Review writer best known for his universally discredited attempt .. http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/122231 .. to equate New Deal liberalism with European fascism. It's peppered with over-the-top voiceovers by D'Souza — "What are these Democrats hiding?"; "What if the goal of the Democratic party is to steal the most valuable thing the world has ever produced? What if their plan is to steal America?" — over an ominous, melodramatic score.

This kind of silliness and purposeful provocation on race is D'Souza's bread and butter. See this tweet from 2015:

Steve King is a racist, and conservatives don’t want to talk about it

Republicans want to have a conversation about civility. The Iowa representative wants to retweet neo-Nazis.

Tearex, according to you you own everything and all every racist, bigoted, and hateful thing every conservative says.

You may own all of it, still it would be stupid of anyone to say you did without good evidence having come from you first.
