Nuance has been declared dead. However, nuance is still alive. Instead it’s been condemned to a horrific afterlife in the bowels of the hellish landscape known as Twitter, where it haunts timelines and occasionally makes its presence known by rattling door handles and turning the lights off and on. It’s not alive, but not dead enough to ignore.
Case in point – Milkgate.
CNN featured recently an inflation story that focused on a Texas family of white working-class people. I’ll let my colleague, streiff,You can find it here
In Fort Worth, Texas, the family is shown in this video. The couple has nine children, two of which are theirs, six adoptive, and one foster. I consider them heroes for having opened their hearts and homes to seven other children beyond their own biological children. They are not the spoiled brat who kneels during the national anthem, but these people we need to be celebrating. This is the key sentence in the video: “A gallon of milk was $1.99. Now it’s $2.79. When you buy 12 gallons a week times four weeks, that’s a lot of money.”
A family of eleven, most of them adopted or fostered…that’s sweet, right?
RightWhich?
The ghost of Nuance is back!
Some people felt the cold chill of Nuance breathing down their timelines and decided the one time they were going to seek out nuance on Twitter would be to slam this lovely family for…wait for it…drinking too much milk.
Everybody became curious about the details of each story. They wanted to see how this family was able to drink that much milk per week. Progressive Twitter was furious that CNN would suggest that Biden’s policies are affecting Americans of all stripes and they could not let go of the milk. The milk was their obsession. Everything was about milk. Milk, milk, milk.
The milk story is one example of the many ways that we can use our stories to show others. @CNNIt is easier to suggest a crisis than it is to report the facts.” https://t.co/0ej7XRF5hN

Well done @CNNBravo! The bullshit story you told about Biden’s milk-guzzling, poor victims without noting how they have benefited has been exploited by another bullshit purveyor. https://t.co/fRhyMY9y1p

Of course, it wasn’t really about the milk, although that is what they were fixated on. It’s not about the milk at all.
It’s about Tuesday night and the chickens coming home to roost…or the cows coming home to…lactate? I don’t know…I’ll work on it. Anyway, the point is that the progressives are still smarting from a national drubbing on Tuesday, and they’re lashing out. The narrative has held that Trump could be removed and America could achieve the utopia Obama was preparing. Trump was the problem and *Insert any Democrat that can win here* was the answer and if we would just flip the White House back to blue we’d be golden. Trump is the disease, Trump is the problem, Trump is the burden, Trump is the mess….Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Milk, milk, milk, milk.
Although 12 gallons per week might sound large, they have had to stop taking their milk baths every other day. https://t.co/3vwwMWjKfR

Trump is long gone…so gone that they’ve taken away nearly all his avenues of communication and yet they can’t let him go. They’re stuck to that dude like white on milk. If Trump’s exit was the solution, there can be no way that Americans are suffering now under Democrat leadership. It’s supposed to be perfect now!
This story is about a happy family who shares their lives with those in need. Now, run-away inflation has made it into an attack on the amount of milk that a family should eat in a given week. This family must be greedy liars for the progressive loons to claim that they voted in a man who is greedy.
It doesn’t matter if this family buys 12 gallons or 120 gallons of milk per week. We shouldn’t be arguing over this. What’s the point? That isn’t the point in any way. What is important is the fact that American families are feeling the pinch of having to pay more for the necessities they need in order to live well. Biden’s policies are making things worse and Americans are feeling it in the one place that matters most when it comes to politics- their wallets. They’re hurting and all the progressive cranks can think to do is to call liars anyone who claims we’re not all living in a Democrat utopia.
It’s not about the milk.
