Do Trump-Supporters Live in an Alternate Universe?
American Thinker ^ | 24 Nov, 2020 | Bryce Buchanan

Last week, in her MSNBC show, Deadline, Nicolle Wallace said "right wing media" like Fox are creating an "alternate reality" for their viewers. Wallace said, "You now have a true, a true alternate reality[.] ... I mean, they are pumping flagrant lies into millions of viewers. They're interviewing lunatics." Wallace's guest, Al Sharpton (of Tawana Brawley hoax fame), said, "We're now in a nation where facts don't matter. You make up facts. And not only do you have an alternative reality — how do you debate someone that is dealing with a totally fictitious premise?"

This talk of the alternate, fictional reality inhabited by Trump-supporters has been expressed many times by those on the left. After the Nunes memo was released, exposing parts of the Russia Hoax, CNN's Brian Stelter said Sean Hannity was promoting the Nunes lies, and he called the story an "alternate reality." Stelter's viewers knew that Trump had colluded with Russia, just as Adam Schiff said. Stelter was proud that his viewers knew the truth.

It is instructive to make a list of "Things That Are True," as asserted by the leftist media, and contrast it with the "Delusions" that are commonly held by the foolish Trump-supporters. In the list below, "T" indicates the certainly "True Things," as reported by the wise people in leftist media. "D" indicates the "Delusions" held by the Trump-supporters, who "are not able to differentiate between fantasy and reality."

The list:

T: This was a clean and honest election. There is no evidence of fraud. Claims to the contrary are baseless conspiracy theories.

D: There is massive evidence of election fraud of every type, including programmed computer cheating, dead people voting, and massive dumps of Biden votes in the middle of the night........

Leftist projection. They have TRIED to create an alternate universe with their lockstep leftist reporting. Their motto, for many decades is, “If we don’t report it, it didn’t happen.”.

The internet destroyed their ability to do that, starting with Buckhead and Dan Rather. In the world of the 1990’s, this election fraud would have gone forward without a hitch. It kinda makes you wonder what was happening behind the scenes back then.

This is probably the alternative universe the Democrats want.

Do Trump supporters live in an alternate universe?

If REALITY is an alternate universe, then yes -- we do.

The left ALWAYS is doing what they accuse others of doing. Great summary of the left’s “alternate reality.”

I agree that we do live in alternate universes. People on the right, however, are well informed about the evidence of the things they believe while people on the left are aware of only the limited and distorted version of events our propaganda media puts out.

In addition to the lies that the media repeats over and over, they simply do not report on positives about President Trump’s accomplishments.

In the spirit of supposed ‘unity’ by the incoming Biden crime family, the MSM needs to keep hammering home how ‘they’re right because every leftist says so’ and ‘the conservatives are deranged’.
Of course, the left will the tell us how they extended the olive branch, and we conservatives broke it in two, flipped them off, and stormed away ranting insanities.

I don’t know if they do this for ratings - like a scripted play or they are truly so obtuse and ignorant they cannot see their hypocrisy... regardless, I don’t see how you could stoop any lower other than simply making straight-up lies concerning conservatives.

There is massive evidence of election fraud of every type, including programmed computer cheating, dead people voting, and massive dumps of Biden votes in the middle of the night.

Then why isn't Trump's legal team presenting this in court? None of them have provided any evidence of massive fraud, and until they do then courts are not going to throw out election results.

In our weird, alternate universe:

Men cannot be women.
Rewards go to those that achieve.
Justice is based on existing law.
Homosexuality is abnormal.
God exists. And Satan, too.
Women and men are not equivalent.
Blacks can be racist.
Youths are often ignorant (not stupid, but as yet unknowing).
Censorship is not free speech.
America is a republic.

Most of the news media is nothing more than a garbage dump for words and facts are kept in the safe.
