 Welcome back to our eighth annual end of the year award show 2022 was certainly an interesting and pretty crazy year, but I don't want to just focus on the bad. Now I do want to take some time to focus on the good and highlight our bad ass moment of 2022. So if you don't know, here's how it works. I make four nominations and I put it up to a vote for our audience to ultimately decide across Patreon, Twitter and YouTube. So here are the nominees for the most bad ass moment of 2022. First and foremost, Bolsonaro's defeat. When you see fascism on the rise around the world to see a fascist go down isn't just incredibly gratifying, but to see what was the cause of his downfall was ultimately even more rewarding because leftists were essentially vindicated in saying if you have a pro working candidate as a choice, that is going to win against fascism. It is the antidote to fascism. So to see Lula de Silva win and Bolsonaro go down, even if he's challenging the election results, even if he's trying to take down democracy, that defeat in and of itself was incredibly rewarding. My second nomination is Josh Hawley being exposed during the January sixth public hearings in this brilliant moment. Later that day, Senator Hawley fled after those protesters he helped to rile up, storm the Capitol. See for yourself. Amazing, just incredibly amazing. And my next nomination is Matt Bender's expose of Libtar 01, who we now know to be the sock puppet of Jimmy Dore. Look at that little bottom right there. You see that? That little semicircle with the yellow line. It's hard to see because it's far. And you see little, you do see little white looks like the top of white letters, right? I want to quickly go to Jimmy Dore's Twitter account. I'm going to once again show you the screenshot Libtar 01 took. What does that look like there to you? What does that look like there to you? Look at it. He was Libtar 01 was logged into or should I say Jimmy Dore, whoever Jimmy Dore's partner is, took the Libtar 01 screenshot while logged into the Jimmy Dore account. And so they caught the little bottom part of the Jimmy Dore avatar where Twitter would show where you would leave a reply. I don't know what else to say here. And last but certainly not least, this incredibly powerful speech by Democratic politician from Michigan, Mallory McMorrow. I didn't expect to wake up yesterday to the news that the senator from the 22nd district had overnight accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an email fundraising for herself. So I sat on it for a while wondering why me. And then I realized because I am the biggest threat to your hollow hateful scheme because you can't claim that you are targeting marginalized kids in the name of quote parental rights if another parent is standing up to say no. So then what? Then you dehumanize and marginalize me. You say that I'm one of them. You say she's a groomer. She supports pedophilia. She wants children to believe that they were responsible for slavery and to feel bad about themselves because they're white. Well here's a little bit of background about who I really am. Growing up my family was very active in our church. I sang in the choir. My mom taught CCD. One day our priest called a meeting with my mom and told her that she was not living up to the church's expectations and that she was disappointing. My mom asked why. Among other reasons she was told it was because she was divorced and because the priest didn't see her at mass every Sunday. So where was my mom on Sundays? She was at the soup kitchen with me. My mom taught me at a very young age that Christianity and faith was about being part of a community, about recognizing our privilege and blessings and doing what we can to be of service to others especially people who are marginalized, targeted, and who had less. I am a straight white Christian married suburban mom. I want my daughter to know that she is loved, supported, and seen for whoever she becomes. I want her to be curious, empathetic, and kind. People who are different are not the reason that our roads are in bad shape after decades of disinvestment or that health care costs are too high or that teachers are leaving the profession. I want every child in this state to feel seen, heard, and supported not marginalized and targeted because they are not straight, white, and Christian. We cannot let hateful people tell you otherwise to scapegoat and deflect from the fact that they are not doing anything to fix the real issues that impact people's lives. And I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen. So I want to be very clear right now. Call me whatever you want. I hope you brought in a few dollars. I hope it made you sleep good last night. I know who I am. I know what faith and service means and what it calls for in this moment. We will not let hate win. Incredible. Still watching it again. I get chills. That speech was just amazing. But without further ado, let's get to the winner because we can only choose one. And I am pleased to announce that the badass moment of 2022, as decided by viewers of the Humanist Report, is overwhelmingly Bolsonaro's defeat with our audiences across Patreon, YouTube, and Twitter agreeing overwhelmingly. Now the runner up was Josh Holly getting exposed and we have Matt Binder and Mallory McMorrow trailing, albeit narrowly. Now let's get to some comments here. Mike Murdock of Patreon writes, Bolsonaro's defeat hands down that psycho not only tried to destroy the rainforest causing more damage to the planet and hurling us forward to unstoppable climate change, but the damage caused to Brazil was monstrous. I hope he never gets power ever again. I also wish for all of South America to continue on its path towards democratic socialism. Well put, Mike. Ricardo says, I'm Brazilian and definitely Bolsonaro's defeat was the best moment in our recent history. He's still flirting with not accepting his defeat, but even his allies are pulling out the struggle for Brazil's democracy has been won. Zach Brumis writes, Mallory McMorrow from Michigan, as a fan of alliteration, she has my vote. Also, that was a badass speech. Comment Guy 94 writes, Other, Federmann flipping a U.S. Senate seat despite overcoming a stroke, defeating both Conor Lamb and Memedals and doing it by championing working class issues and values. Priya S writes, the Amazon labor union victory should be on the list. Stan says, Bolsonaro's defeat may have single-handedly saved all of humanity because of the Amazon. Warshield says, I love Binder's detective work on Dimmidor, but it was so nice to see a regular Normie Democrat actually hit back against the fascist. This award just has to go to McMorrow. And finally, a lefty gamer says, Bolsonaro's defeat fuck fascism. Well said. Well, there you have it folks. The badass moment of 2022 is the defeat of fascist Jair Bolsonaro, and I couldn't agree more.
