I was watching MSNBC the other day – I know, but it is fun to look into a parallel universe where progressive ideals appeal to the vast majority of Americans, it makes me appreciate reality all the more – and I had to check my phone to make sure I had the right year. You wouldn’t know it was 2024 if you’d just gone by the rhetoric belching its way over the airwaves. Donald Trump is a Russian stooge – a tool of Putin – who is only interested in…well, you know the rest of that song. In fact, you know the rest of all the songs, as the political left has morphed into a cover band playing all their hits that were never really hits in the first place. They learned nothing from the election.
As the father of two kids, one thing you hope they do from all the mistakes they make, and they make a lot of mistakes, is learn from them. Democrats aren’t learning from anything, and it is glorious.
With the exception of who the President is going to be on the 20th and who controls the Senate, nothing has changed in their world. They still insist they are popular – a majority, in fact – in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. It’s simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.
It’s hilarious because watching adults try to convince themselves that they’re popular is very amusing. It’s horrifying because the denialism is dangerous. Not for Republicans, for the country.
As Joe Biden readies to retire, he is a destructive force and the 20th of January cannot come fast enough. I shudder to think of the damage he can and will do between now and then to the nation and the world. He will do all he can to make it happen. Prepare yourself for a list of pardons unlike anything before seen in American history. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he pardoned Ghislaine Maxwell at this point, as I can only imagine the dirt he has on Biden’s friends and fellow Democrats.
An outgoing President with no F’s left to give is a gigantic danger, an entire half of the political establishment with a denialist attitude is…well, we don’t know.
Democrats have a history of pretending what is actually is not, and vice versa, so that’s nothing new. But as they’ve moved closer and closer to their radical fringe, their denialism is inspiring more and more attacks. Remember James Hodgkinson? Remember the trans school shooter in Nashville? Democrats hope you don’t, but not all of MSNBC’s ratings dip can be attributed to people turning it off, some viewers have died.
A Democrat with nothing to lose, full of self-righteousness and dripping with smug, can either be a great laugh or a violent thug. Most are harmless, but it doesn’t take more than one to do something awful.
As if hoping to push someone over the “Hodgkinson Line,” Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said Kash Patel, nominated by Trump to be the next FBI Director, “is being put into the FBI literally to destroy the rule of law; to enable Trump’s dream to put his political opponents in jail.” What would an unstable person read into that? How much prodding would a mentally disturbed person need to be nudged over the edge? Or, how much more prodding, I should say.
Murphy then went on to add that Robert Kennedy Jr. “wants to ban pharmaceutical advertising, that’s nice. He also wants to kill our kids by withdrawing vaccines from our schools and taking fluoride out of our drinking water.”
What would you do to someone you honestly believed was trying to kill your kids, or just kids in general? And you’re not mentally unstable enough to subscribe to the belief that someone like Chris Murphy, who just a year and a half ago decried “demagogues and provocateurs” who “lead with messages of hate and division,” but some people out there are. What will they conceive of in order to “fight back” or prevent this awful fate?
Cabinet Secretaries and FBI Directors get security details, but they aren’t that large. Normal people do not. People who put Trump lawn signs in front of their houses do not.
Maybe Democrats did learn something from the election: that they need to dial the crazy up to 11. Or maybe they’ll just do it anyway because they’re just evil enough not to care about the consequences of what they’re doing – agenda über alles, in its original German on purpose. I just hope it all falls on deaf ears.
