"I'm not telling a simple story. I'm talking about something else. I'm talking about the evil of using this network of, I'm going to say, semi-public institutions, like the New York Times, or the Democratic Party to troll the center of the country, the median individual, and tell them we're more interested, often, in showing that we can speak Spanish because, you know, we believe that no one is illegal. And so, like, let's get rid of the concept of illegal immigrants. Let's not worry about diluting the vote, we'll never talk about that. Let's, you know, try to make sure that trans is something that we're talking about in early stages of development in schools. I don't know. There's a ton of weird stuff where it feels like a giant troll. Right? And we're gonna do stuff, and if you object to it, it's just going to tell us how bad you are, and we're going to take victory laps and try to bury your career. And I think that that thing is actually—I've called it LeftCarthyism. And where this comes down for me is that my family suffered under McCarthyism. And I'm against McCarthyism as a tactic. I don't like it any better when we do it."
'''Knark''' is Swedish for very hard recreational drugs, but it's also "crank" spelled backwards with a slightly different spelling.

"In the Inquisition, the Jews of Spain were chased by the Spanish Inquisition into, say, Turkey in the Ottoman Empire. My claim is that a lot of analytic lefties have been chased into the center right by the madness of these progressive lunatics, and that thing I'm calling "The Thinkquisition" is that people who are worried about, you know, homophobia or xenophobia, and all these things, but don't for a second sign up for the progressive, revolutionary sort of pseudo-Maoist agenda, those people are now hanging out as if they were in Turkey, even though their home, you know, was originally in the analog of Spain. The center right has become the Ottoman Empire to receive people chased out of the madness of Spain."
