WASHINGTON — In the middle of the night on Jan. 29, a terrible aviation accident occurred when an Army Blackhawk helicopter collided with a regional airliner, killing everyone onboard both aircraft. After such a horrific tragedy, citizens across the United States have many questions: how did this happen? What went wrong? These are best left to experts. Still, Duffel Blog is here to help with the most frequently, most loudly asked question: how can I make this about me and validating my political beliefs?
Some will say it’s too soon after an accident to start pointing fingers or making such a tragic loss of life about politics. But those people are losers whose “spicy take meter” is set to mild. You know who didn’t die in that plane crash? You. Why focus on the lives tragically cut short? Those people can’t watch engagement numbers roll in on X after they post an absolute doozy of a takedown of their political opponents. But you sure can.
That said, the first step is deciding far too early who to blame for this. And it is absolutely critical to work fast before all the facts come in. You have options for which political ideology you want to validate, so choose wisely.
