It’s one thing to win an election.
It’s quite another to try to destroy anyone who voted
against you. Or who had supported or
served in the administration of the person you defeated.
That’s the stuff of banana republics. And of despots
throughout history.
It’s vengeance run amuck. It’s also a sign of fear that the
people under attack might come back and overthrow you in time.
We’re living through that now. The left and Democrats are
working hard to punish anyone who had anything to do with Trump. At the same
time, they are actively dismantling Trump policies just because these came from
Trump. They’re doing this even when they
are knowingly throwing out things that worked, such as his immigration policies
and tax cuts.
They are using all the power they have – with assistance
from the media – to blame Trump for the economic fallout from the pandemic and deny
Trump credit for anything.
Trump created and funded Operation Warp Speed to produce and
distribute the Covid-19 vaccines in record time, saving untold American lives. Trump
did that, even while the media and Democrats said it was impossible to do so
quickly. Prominent Democrats like Biden
and Kamala Harris said they wouldn’t trust any vaccine from Trump.
However, their new story is that Biden inherited nothing
from Trump, had to start from scratch, and was the one who produced and
distributed the vaccines. If Biden hadn’t been elected and taken control of the
situation millions of Americans would still be waiting to be vaccinated. In fact, Biden says, there were no vaccines before
he took office. Which is hard to take
since Biden and his wife got vaccinated on December 21 of 2019 – almost a month
before he was inaugurated.
It's all part of a new narrative; a revisionist history of
sorts. Something the Democrats and the
media try to do all the time. They want to
turn Trump into a non-person. A boogey man. A bad dream. A nightmare they have
vanquished for all time – you’re welcome, America.
They are making it also crystal clear that anyone now who opposed
them in the past and might foolishly think of opposing them anytime in the
future will be destroyed personally, professionally, and financially. Trump, his family, the members of his
administration, his friends, his allies, and his supporters will serve as examples
of what can happen.
They want their heads on spikes. All of them.
I’m not all that surprised. Disgusted, yes; surprised,
no.
Even before Trump was the Republican nominee, the left,
Democrats, the media, and many in the Republican establishment as well, wanted
him destroyed. Democrat hacks like Cyrus
Vance in New York and other states’ attorneys in blue states started
investigating everything Trump in hopes of finding something to take him out
forever. Letitia James was elected attorney general in New York on the campaign
promise to prosecute Trump; precisely for what, wasn’t important.
Democrats, the left, and their media sycophants might
believe they are doing God’s work to purge America of all things Trump. The constant harassment of Trump, his family,
his allies, and former members of his administration – which has gone on since
before he was elected and continues today – will probably have the completely
opposite effect of what they have hoped.
Whether or not they realize it yet, they are turning Trump
into an even bigger folk hero than he was.
Their obsession with destroying him and anyone associated with him
appears overtly and unnecessarily mean-spirited and vindictive to many
Americans.
The more frenzied they
become, and the broader they expand their target for rage and retribution, the
less it appears entirely warranted.
Especially now that anyone who voted for him is also a
pariah. That’s over 74 million Americans at last count. That’s a lot of the electorate to write off
as hopelessly evil, stupid, racist, and worthy of scorn. That’s close to half
of all those who voted in 2020.
Could just be me, but if somebody continues to ridicule and
belittle that many Americans every day, there’s going to be a backlash. Yet that’s exactly what Democrat party
leaders, late night talk show hosts on ABC, CBS and NBC, alleged “news“ anchors
on CNN and MSNBC, and daytime network shows like The View are doing every
single day.
They are all spewing unrelenting contempt for millions of
Americans.
All that’s going to leave a mark. And it is.
It’s already having a dramatic effect on ratings, which is
one metric that gauges where America is going.
CNN and MSNBC are losing viewers in record numbers; some former “hit”
shows on CNN are struggling to attract more viewers on average than attend an
Ohio State football game. The Gutfeld! Show on Fox is outpulling every other
show in his time slot – at times more than a couple of them combined. The number one morning show in cable is Fox
and Friends. In terms of the demographic
most wanted by advertisers, four of the five top cable news shows are Fox News
properties.
Apparently, ordinary Americans don’t like being insulted.
Who knew?
Obviously not the folks running the other media outlets and
networks.
Instead of demoralizing Trump supporters, which is what they
hope they’d accomplish, they’ve simply fanned their passion for Trump and
against Democrats, the left, and the media. Support for Trump has hardened
among his supporters and increased among independents.
Once again, people may not have liked Trump the man, and may
not still, but they liked that he pretty much did what he promised to do. No one ever doubted what he thought or would
do because he always told everyone right up front. Often bluntly. His
supporters loved that candor.
Unlike the current administration, Trump never hid his agenda
or waffled on his beliefs.
I’m pretty sure Democrats in Congress and the left-leaning
media are starting to feel the ground shift beneath them. They can produce any
number of self-serving polls showing people like Joe Biden personally and are
always in favor of getting free money. When Joe stands up for something with
which they don’t agree, like open borders and free benefits for illegals, and
the free money runs out, it will be a different story. No matter how hard the
media tries to spin it to protect him.
Right now, Democrats, the left and the media are in a state
of denial that this could ever happen.
But it will. It’s a certainty.
