Among the more famous quotations by Mao Zedong is: “All political power comes from the barrel of the gun.” However, Mao got that wrong as in the United States circa 2022 political blackmail in the hands of progressives – really, American Marxists -- is a much more effective tool than the gun.
Less than seven percent of American voters identify as being “very liberal”. Yet, thanks to the unbridled use of political blackmail, they have set the agenda since 2009. Additionally, by virtue of these tactics they are also in de facto control not only of the Democrat party but the legacy media, the education establishment, social media, and the universities. In 2021 they achieved a major milestone: absolute dominion over the Office of President of the United States.
Vladimir Lenin, one of the icons of the American Marxists, defined modern political blackmail as follows:
Political blackmail is the threat of exposing, or the actual exposure, of true, but more often invented, “stories” with the aim of causing an opponent political damage, of slandering him, of depriving him of the possibility of engaging in political activity, or of making it difficult for him.
Lenin neglected to note that in the modern era successful political blackmail is wholly dependent on the blackmailer either controlling or being in league with a compliant national media. Further, there are both overt and subtle modes in American Marxist political blackmail.
After decades long stealth infiltration, by the late 1990’s a significant percentage of the legacy media was populated by the disciples of and apologists for the radical left. Following the guidelines set out by Lenin, the never-ending search for and fabrication of “stories” about their political opponents took on a new ferocity and determination unlike any other period in American history.

Lawsuits may be the answer. I hope Trump and Rittenhouse are successful with theirs.
The 24/7 propaganda by the Lamestream Media made no difference. Trump won 2020 in a landslide.
The Democrats could not have stolen anything had it not been for the RINO-controlled state legislatures of GA, PA, AZ, WI, MI, and MN turning a blind eye to fraud on a massive scale via the cheat-by-mail-in ballots.
RINOs are the reason for the woke clown world we must now endure.
I'm hoping Trump will continue to campaign for conservative challengers to these RINO traitors, and they will be sent packing in their respective primaries.
No more RINOs = No more stolen elections.
It is because the Leftist Media is losing power, that Trump won and the propaganda machine of the Media has had to become ever more obvious.
RINOs were created by political blackmail. RINOs are losing power because the Leftist Media political blackmail is less and less effective.
I disagree with the author on the timing. The political blackmail was and has been extremely effective since FDR. But those operating the blackmail were in favor of a strong USA up until about 1965. Then the globalists/leftis ideology became dominant in the Media.
There. Fixed it.
They will blow up a car and suicide people too. Just ask Gov. Kemp about his daughter’s boyfriend.
Come on, Steve McCann, try to keep up. It's been going on for a lot longer than that.

The Census Bureau is working toward a predetermined goal - give the NUL everything they want, cloak it in an air of legal standing and pay their lawyers massive fees for winning the case plus damages.
Been like this for decades - leftist lawfare.
