As you know, Democrats and their media accomplices became simultaneously triggered following the publication of an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about the use of the word “doctor” preceding Jill Biden’s name.
The controversy caught the attention of journalist Glenn Greenwald:
That's *Dr.* Henry Kissinger. https://t.co/7oX3VUJN8q

The rules are not complicated, folks:
1) Love and respect your political leaders.
2) Deferentially address them only by their proper titles.
3) Know your place.
If you just follow these, a cloud of passive bliss cradles you that will foster personal and societal harmony.

Greenwald also found a couple of examples of glaring double standards:
To see the crudeness that results when proper titles of the ruling class are not honored, look at this 2017 WashPost article that viciously mocks PhDs who insist on being addressed as "Doctor." The context was "Dr. Gorka" but it has generalized derision:https://t.co/R1VYBQQSgg pic.twitter.com/vK2jXKVv1D

Perhaps the most savage mockery came from @iamsambee, who announced that only insecure losers with shoddy intellects want to be publicly addressed as "Doctor."
It was deeply misogynistic, as one of her examples was an actual medical doctor: @DrJillStein. Shameful stuff here: pic.twitter.com/WDKah8mlEn

It’s almost as if the title “doctor” is acceptable for non-physicians to use but only if they’re Democrats.
I was browsing the accounts of a few Nobel Prize winners. Many of them don't use their academic title in their name.
When you have no longer anything left to prove, credentials become meaningless.

watch, all of Joe's cabinet members will get honoree doctorates and will now be known as the ministry of doctors and nothing they say can or will be disputed

And if you doubt them you’ll be accused of not “believing in science.”
This seems like a fitting way to close out this topic:
