A Truth and Reality ‘Bloodbath’

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

However much you hate the media, it’s not enough. And no matter how much you can bring yourself to hate them, it will never be as much as they hate you. These despicable creatures divide Americans by skin color, sexual orientation, income and any other way possible, while whining about how it’s Republicans dividing people. It’s how a President can give a speech calling everyone who disagrees with him a Nazi, then call for people to unite with him. When you have zero chance of being called out for your hypocrisy, why not be a hypocrite? 

There’s money in it! Bernie Sanders made more money than many small towns by complaining about capitalism. He made to off dumb people conditioned to also hate capitalism engaging in capitalism at bookstores existing to profit from capitalism, and no one acknowledges any of it because why would they?

Nothing the modern American left does makes sense if you look at it through a lens of that event alone. Each thing is part of a larger mosaic; an elaborate attempt to manipulate people into believing things that are not true, to see a reality that does not exist.  

This must be done because truth and reality are not allies of the left. Some things you can’t lie about – remember the anti-war movement that disappeared the moment Barack Obama assumed office? The war didn’t end, just opposition to it did because a Democrat was in charge. All the protests and riots in 2020 ended when Biden was sworn in, but none of the “issues” those protests and riots were supposedly about changed, only the party in the White House did. Again, it’s almost like the whole thing was a political tactic, not some “grassroots” swell of outrage.

That’s how the left operates – “useful idiots” are just idiots once their usefulness is used up. Remember Cindy Sheehan? Her grief didn’t end when Bush left office any more than the Iraq war did, but her usefulness did. Her number was deleted from every cellphone at MSNBC and CNN, all at once. A little odd, wasn’t it?

It’s almost like they didn’t mean any of it; viewing these people and “causes” and the peanut butter needed to a dog to take its pill – cover for advancing their drive for power and agenda.

Now we have the “DONALD TRUMP PROMISED A ‘BLOODBATH’ IF HE LOSES IN NOVEMBER!!!” lie. It’s almost too stupid to believe anyone would believe it, but then you have to remember we’re dealing with people weaned on Rachel Maddow conspiracy theories. 

Progressives don’t let reality stand in their way. The lie had been set in stone in the minds of people dumb as rocks can still be useful on everyone else if it’s spun properly. 

That seems to be what George Conway – finalist for “father of the year” in the “most likely to raise an OnlyFans daughter” – was trying to do on X over the weekend. (OK, maybe that’s unfair. George will make enough money from his anti-Trump, anti-GOP activities that his troubled daughter who saw his attention whoring as an example of how to act probably won’t go that route, but still….)

His “argument,” as much as you can claim he was making one, was about how it didn’t matter that Trump wasn’t talking about a literal bloodbath in the country, but a metaphorical one in the auto industry, because Trump wants to inspire violence either way. 

George declares “it doesn’t matter what he’s specifically referring to at the moment” because Trump is “a dangerous psychopath, and after more than eight years of watching his sick behavior, we must not give him the benefit of the doubt.”

So, he didn’t do the original outrage, but that doesn’t matter because the bigger lie the left made up about what didn’t happen is true, or at least they need it to be. You can see why Kellyanne Conway seems much happier in her television appearances…

There is nothing true that helps Democrats, which is why they lie so much. Reality hurts them, so they live so much of their lives surrounded by lies and talk about abstracts like “This is not your grandfather’s Republican Party!” Go to your grandparents who voted for Democrats in the past and ask what their opinion is about mutilating the genitals of children is. Ask them what they think of an open border and kicking American veterans out of shelters to house illegal aliens. Show anyone the graphic images from any of the books parents don’t want forced on their kids in school and see if they’re cool with them. 

I think you’ll find your grandparents, if they still vote for Democrats, will be shocked to see what the party of JFK has become. 

For Democrats to win in November, they have to use short, out of context clips and lie to convince voters that was explicitly is not somehow is. If Republicans want an electoral bloodbath in November, all they have to do is spend the next 8 months honestly telling the public what Democrats want to do and playing audio and video clips of them talking about it, fully and in context. Weird, right?
