Thanks to Democrat governors and mayors like Bill DeBlasio, Jenny Durkan, Lori Lightfoot, Jacob Frey, Tim Walz, Gretchen Whitmer, Andrew Cuomo and many others, Americans are getting a LONG HARD LOOK at what happens when you elect ideological lunatics to crucially important jobs in their state/city.

I do not understand the depth of hatred for President Trump. Why?

All this horseshit that Blacks and Antifa are doing will come back on them in spades.

Can I say spades anymore?...

Their attempts to relentlessly gaslight us “1984-style” for over 5 months is only going to build Trump’s coming massive red wave even bigger.

The Left and the Democrats may be suffering from some kind of unprecedentedly bad groupthink. Irving Janis gives eight symptoms, which sound on the mark. Now we saw this earlier with the House Democrats and I think it’s moved into overdrive. The question for me is if they are suffering this or if they are actually trying to bring this about as a strategy to win the election. In any event, groupthink is bad and needs to be pointed out. My feeling is that most people will step back from the crazy even if they don’t change their minds about Trump. Any little bit helps.

1. Illusions of invulnerability lead members of the group to be overly optimistic and engage in risk-taking.

2. Unquestioned beliefs lead members to ignore possible moral problems and ignore the consequences of individual and group actions.

3. Rationalizing prevents members from reconsidering their beliefs and causes them to ignore warning signs.

4. Stereotyping leads members of the in-group to ignore or even demonize out-group members who may oppose or challenge the group’s ideas.

5. Self-censorship causes people who might have doubts to hide their fears or misgivings.

6. “Mindguards” act as self-appointed censors to hide problematic information from the group.

7. Illusions of unanimity lead members to believe that everyone is in agreement and feels the same way.

8. Direct pressure to conform is often placed on members who pose questions, and those who question the group are often seen as disloyal or traitorous

More corporations will announce massive donations to black causes, including and especially Black Lives Matter

There better be a full accounting of exactly who that money is going to.

Don’t forget the virus gaslighting over an extremely non-virulent pathogen.

Those of you in or around small towns, talk to some of the women working in services (e.g., Walmart stores) in those communities and get some grapevines going. That’s where the anti-Trump clucking has been intensifying under our noses.
