Welcome to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s new abnorma.
NY Post ^ | 1/17/21 | Michael Goodwin

....Moreover, while Trump’s personality is highly unorthodox, to say the least, he did not single-handedly set in motion the dangerous levels of strife engulfing our nation. His successful policies on immigration, taxes and the Mideast were fairly conventional by Republican standards.

Instead, the unrest and growing use of violence to achieve political ends are outgrowths of the extreme resistance movement against Trump. He ran as a disrupter, but was a piker compared to those who hated him and were willing to smash every social, political and legal norm to drive him from office.

That resistance was started by Hillary Clinton and holdouts from the 2016 election and spread to Democrats in Congress, especially Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Their refusal to treat Trump as a legitimate president and worthy of their cooperation marks them as early victims of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

They incited and fanned the flames of the Russia collusion scam and used it, with the help of J. Edgar Comey and other crooked players in the FBI and intelligence agencies, to sabotage the president.

I think Michael Goodwin provides a very accurate account of how we got to where we are today: hint, it wasn’t Trump’s fault. It’s full of good observations, including this one:

“In a move straight out of George Orwell, Dems and the media have twisted the plain meaning of words. “Violence” is speech when committed by Black Lives Matter, and “speech” is violence when it comes from Trumpers. “

When I read the list of inflammatory things that Nancy and Chuck had done in the last four years, I realized that we’d all come to accept their outrageous behavior as normal. The GOP also just accepted it and never called them to account. And therein lies the problem.

Undoubtedly, but he is the primary operator in this country. ChiCom money is financing it.

I like this one:

Reader Ronald Meltzer, in the midst of the wave of censoring and demonizing, sees a hidden message, writing: “I would submit to you that the fact that it is now illegal to discuss election fraud is proof there was election fraud.”

“Violence” is speech when committed by Black Lives Matter, and “speech” is violence when it comes from Trumpers“

Not to forget that (our) silence is violence (in their warped orwellian world).

From 1984
‘The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power – pure power.’

Pretty much describes the Democrats aka Demoncrats today.

This explains Pelosi’s bloodlust.

You know what, Trump’s personality is not “unorthodox”.

I’m sick of apologizing for Republicans.

Try listening to the angry, lying stupid Joe Biden.

Exactly. If they hadn’t knowingly committed fraud, they’d be happy to be proven right.

I think Obama is very influential in this, but he’s not very bright himself and only got where he was because the left saw him as a useful tool. He was, by their standards, good looking and had enough melanin to count, even though he had no connection with the American Black experience. However, he was actually not even a good speaker, read off whatever somebody wrote for him and read it badly, and spent a lot of his time out of the office and partying. So I don’t think he’s the source.

Bill Gates wasn’t that powerful then, we didn’t have the social media masters, and Obama was at that point just carrying out the orders of the terrorist Bill Ayers (one of his closest advisors) and some other hold-overs from the 60s.

Is there a central planner? That said, Obama definitely exercises a lot of influence within the Democratic Party and probably gives his nod to anything Nasty Nancy proposes.

Yes, that’s what’s weird. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

I’ve been listening to 1984 (on Audible) and it really makes your hair stand up on end because it’s so accurate.

The other book this reminds me of is The Hunger Games, especially now that we have the Imperial City within its security ring.

I thought it was a great explanation. Coupled with the fact that she’s nuts.

She wants to be President. Biden shouldn’t walk down the stairs in front of Harris, and Harris shouldn’t walk down the stairs in front of Pelosi.

Unorthodox, because he was a Republican and actually had a program, did something and fought back. Not typical.

If you haven’t read Atlas Shrugged then read it. If you have read it, read it again. The looters have arrived. They will tell you that your businesses and incomes have been a humanitarian sacrifice to keep grandma alive. A patriotic sacrifice that the government will repay you for with some crumbs form your ever increasing taxes. The looters have arrived.
