OK, let’s see … it looks like the last time Twitchy checked in on Joe Walsh was a little under a month ago, and before that, it had been about a month. So it looks like we’re just about due to see what he’s up to.
Well, what he’s up to is being Joe Walsh, which is to say he’s being a self-righteous little prick.
Once again, he’s hiding behind Real Conservatism™ to defend liberalism, as if that will suddenly make liberals think he’s respectable:
Politically, I’m a conservative. And I’m woke. Newly woke. Proudly woke. Just means my eyes are now open to basic injustices & inequities. My eyes weren’t always open. But now they are. I think that’s a good thing. And yes, I’m still a conservative.

Threatening to grab his musket if Donald Trump wasn’t elected in 2016 didn’t play well with audiences, so he figured he’d try this instead.
If your eyes are open and you are “woke”, you wouldn’t still be a conservative

I just don’t understand what it means to be conservative anymore, since the vast majority of conservatives in Congress support insurrection

Define conservative please? Tax cuts for the rich, Against Voting Rights, Pro Life no exceptions for mother’s life, AR-15s for 18 year old men… Am I way off!

St Paul supposedly had a similar awakening on his rd trip to Damascus. He still preached subservience for women & control over others. Conservatives are still doing that. You're only halfway where you should be.

Those are mutually exclusive. You literally cannot be both.
If you are awake to inequities and injustices and still favor the systems that produce them, you are willfully in favor of those inequities and injustices.

Exactly, these are systemic problems. They can only be addressed at the source. Joe, if you remain part of the source than you are still part of the problem. You really need to just let go of whatever is still holding you to “conservatism” once and for all.

Except conservatism IS injustice…in every way. You're getting there but you're still touting this "conservatism"…which is actually institutional racism and misogyny.

It’s so sad. Walsh isn’t “conservative” by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s still not woke enough for the Wokeness Brigade. He’s already announced on multiple occasions that he’s no longer a Republican and that wasn’t good enough for the Left. What makes him think that boldly proclaiming he’s conservative and woke will finally satisfy the mob? The poor bastard’s just so desperate. So delusional.

It means that Joe Walsh is throwing whatever he can at the wall in the hopes that something will stick and he can stay relevant.
You are not now, and never have been, a conservative. Your Tea Party LARPing was a grift. You are a supporter of Marxists.
— WitCoHE 🇺🇸 (@E__Strobel) October 11, 2022
Or he’ll pretend to support Marxists if he thinks it’ll buy him a little extra time in the limelight.
Joe Walsh is a buffoon. I don't even know what the hell he stands for other than hating Trump and thus trying to (as much as possible) support the opposite of whatever Trump supports or would support.
Remember when Walsh couldn't get even ONE delegate in 2020? https://t.co/SNomvo5msu pic.twitter.com/yf9U1Ti6nx

Hope it was worth it.
