Will the Left Ever Move Beyond Orange Man Bad?

Everything from criminal charges to endless investigations has been a tool to win elections.

Now that the 2024 elections are complete, the Left is admitting the Orange-Man-Bad screel was all made up. None of it was real.

Yes, We the People are shocked, right? Totally flabbergasted!

Nearly ten years after the start of it all, the top Leftist strategist is finally admitting what We the People have known all along.

Political guru James Carville advised his party in a New York Times op-ed:

We have got to stop making Mr. Trump himself our main focus; he can’t be elected again.

Furthermore, it’s clear many Americans do not give a rat’s tail about Mr. Trump’s indictments.

He warned:

Vocally oppose the party, not the person or the extremism of his movement.

Denouncing other Americans or their leader as miscreants is not going to win elections.

After nearly a decade of claiming that Trump was the next Hitler and that MAGA was a dangerous movement, the rhetoric is being shelved because they never actually believed it. If they had believed it, Trump’s second victory should have redoubled their efforts instead of convincing the Left to abandon them because there is no longer any point.

The best evidence of that is the lack of talk about Russia in the wake of the 2024 election. After the 2016 election, Leftists claimed the Russians had rigged the outcome. Where is the media hype and investigations of the Russian role in the 2024 election? The State Department even announced sanctions over the Russian (and Iranian) interference in the election. We are not seeing it because Leftists and their media expressed little interest in this piece of news.

On Jan 2, Politico ran an article admitting the entire censorship regime imposed after the 2016 election was based on lies and:

Big Disinfo’s roots—forged in a partisan revolt against Trump—led to glaringly one-sided speech prescriptions.

A researcher at the Poynter Institute, the partisan Leftist group which set up the International Fact-Checking Network, admitted:

Nobody was tricked into voting for Donald Trump.

An article in Harvard’s Misinformation Review admitted:

[T]he field is no closer to answering basic questions about misinformation’s real-world impacts, such as its effects on elections.

Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he was winding down the fact-checking regime on Facebook met with more outrage from Europeans than their American Left counterpart. The protests over the end of fact-checking in this country, like the interest in Trump’s legal and criminal cases, have become feeble and disinterested after the results of the 2024 election.

Fact-checking is being wrapped up because it failed to accomplish its purpose. And that purpose, as Carville put it, was preventing Trump from winning another election. That’s done.

The Left will soon feel forced to move beyond Orange Man Bad because they must be thinking toward the next election. They will scrub what no longer works and figure out what will. Eight years of political terror, censorship, investigations, raids, and lawsuits that dragged in not only Trump, but his associates and appointees, along with millions of Americans, was a scheme to win an election. And it failed Big Time.

In the weeks and months to come, we will hear a good deal less about “democracy,” [and]  buzzwords like “authoritarianism” and “misinformation” will dribble out of the media with the same degree of unseen coordination that they dribbled in, and after exhausting the last remaining clicks from Trump’s legal trails, they too will be dumped on the rubbish heap of failed radical tactics.

Alinsky’s seventh rule is “a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Orange Man Bad’s “greatest crime” from the perspective of the Left was that it became a ‘drag.’

What lies beyond Orange Man Bad?  The cheers following the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO may be a fair example of the violent capability of the Left’s new scheme to win an election.

God speed President Trump.
