Those of us who think 2016-23 was bad—let us chalk it all up to war exercises and make ready to defend against a FULL year of communist/globalist desperation—cast upon us now is a Leftist desperation of many reasons.
This from frontpagemag.com.
This election year marks the eighth anniversary of unhinged NeverTrump invective and Trump Derangement Syndrome swamp-fevers.
Just as mothers in England during the Napoleonic Wars frightened their wayward children with threats of ‘Boney’ coming to get them, the Dems are revving up Trump’s ‘threats to our democracy,’ ‘autocratic’ ambitions, and schemes to take away our freedom and unalienable rights.
Already busily at work, the colluding mass propaganda media is compiling dastardly lies fashioned with words produced with poison ink.
The following is just a sample of the communists’/globalists’ raisons du d’esespoir:
– A catatonic candidate,
– A son known for white-trash sleazy vices and international grifting,
– [Ongoing Congressional investigations concerning bribery and treason],
– Multiple policy failures at home and abroad,
– Underwater polls numbers,
– [The fact that] 76% of voters believe Biden is ‘too old to effectively serve another term,’ and
– [‘the economy, stupid.’]
The weight of these painfully obvious problems has the Left lying, suborning of federal agencies and courts, faking horror stories about the January 6 “insurrection,” and shameless “projections of their own autocratic inclinations and lust for power onto their political opponents.”
We all know which faction censors speech, shouts down speakers, punishes dissidents with personal and professional ‘cancellation’ and smears, and keeps an index librorum prohibitorum cataloguing which thoughts, ideas, persons, and words cannot be written or spoken.
However, the Left is voraciously accusing Conservatives of that which they perform in a fine-tuned, artful manner.
And we also know who are ‘willing to sacrifice our democracy’ for power, who live by the amoral creed of ‘any means necessary,’ who demonize dissidents and political opponents as ‘bitter clingers,’ ‘basket of deplorables,’ ‘smelly Walmart shoppers,’ and all the ‘sexists,’ ‘racists,’ ‘homophobes,’ ‘transphobes,’ ‘Islamophobes,’ ‘xenophobes,’ and ‘semi-fascists’––in other words, Americans who comprise Trump’s some 70 million supporters.
Nor is it Conservatives who have unleashed federal and state prosecutors—who have charged Trump with 91 crimes—on a political opponent who is leading his party’s nomination for president.
And do not forget the state officials waging lawfare to kick Trump off state ballots and destroy the voting rights of millions of Trump supporters. “Election interference” does not get any more blatantly corrupt than that.
Or take the capital crime of questioning the integrity of an election, a charge the Left has been flogging relentlessly for nearly eight years. Have we forgotten the Gore v. Bush decision that settled the contested 2000 election? [Concerning the Left,] not accepting the outcome of elections ‘is for me, but not for thee.’
As for lurid threats to “our democracy,” it’s not Republicans or Conservatives who have serially undermined and cancelled one of the most important foundation stones of our democratic republic—the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equality under law. Nothing Trump has ever done is as constitutionally heinous as the Left’s mobilization of the DOJ and the FBI to hound and pummel Trump’s presidency with the preposterous “Russia collusion” lie.
Meanwhile, both agencies brushed off Hillary’s mishandling of classified documents, destruction of evidence, and pay-to-play family foundation. And these agencies continue to shield the influence peddling and international grifting of the Biden crime family, especially the crack-addled, tax-cheating, whoremongering son Hunter, and his laptop sequestered by the FBI, even as it bulges with evidence of numerous actionable felonies.
Such abuse and double standards have long appeared in American political contests. But they have especially characterized the postwar communists/globalists (democrats) and the colluding mass propaganda media:
– Richard Nixon was despised as a war-monger who bombed Vietnamese children, and mocked as a ‘used car salesman,’
– Gerald Ford—bumbling, stumbling—bartered a pardon of Nixon for the Oval Office,
– Ronald Reagan was labeled a rabid red-baiter, mediocre B actor, and ‘amiable dunce,’
– George H.W. Bush was an entitled, out-of-touch plutocrat who’d never even seen a supermarket scanner, and
– [S]on W. was smeared as a sketchily educate draft-dodger who started the ‘unnecessary’ war against Iraq because Saddam Hussein had plotted to assassinate his Daddy and W. needed to enrich his corporate minders who lusted after Iraq’s oil.
In contrast, the worst president in postwar history, Barack Hussein Obama, was treated with kid gloves even by some Republicans. And when he was criticized, the Left and their media lackeys would cry “racism.”
Finally, however, last week NeverTrumper Bret Stephens in the New York Times noted Trump’s achievements in addressing problems that cognitive elites during the Obama years did not seem to care about, and that the Obiden term has made worse:
– the dangerous crisis on the border,
– the sluggish economy,
– stubborn inflation,
– rising death-rates for the middle and working classes,
– lower labor participation rates,
– the dangerously partisan media shilling for the ‘woke,’
– the so-called government ‘experts’ at the CDC badly botching and politicizing the Covid pandemic,
– malfunctioning schools and universities captured by ‘woke’ hacks and illiberal ideologies,
– ruinous ‘green energy’ policies, and
– the foreign policy of retreat and appeasement brimming with moral hazards.
Stephens wrote:
Trump and his supporters called all this out. For this they were called idiots, liars, and bigots by people who think of themselves as enlightened and empathetic and hold the commanding cultural heights in the national culture.
The scorn only served to harden the sense among millions of Americans that liberal elites are self-infatuated, imperious, hysterical, and hopelessly out of touch—or, to use one of Trump’s favorite words, ‘disgusting.’
Finally, another crucial issue is the NeverTrump Republicans. In 2016, attacking Trump during the primaries was not a problem. That’s what primaries are for. But once Trump had secured the nomination, there was no sane argument for continuing to attack him.
[T]he alternative would have been Hillary Clinton, a hyper-partisan, nasty progressive who would have continued the failures of Obama’s two terms.
When the choice is between the bad and the worse, you have to choose the bad, not carry water for the worse.
The unmitigated disaster of the last four years makes the fight against the NeverTrump Follies ever more existential.
Four more years of Obiden—whoever replaces the idiot—with the puppet-master’s continued work to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. from a Republic founded on a Constitution with its rights and freedoms, to a technocratic, illiberal ruling caste that prioritizes its own power and privilege MUST BE PREVENTED.
