Years from now, the question will go something like this, “where were you when you first realized the media was lying to you about Trump?”
Me, I was watching Trump speak at Mount Rushmore in 2020 just as the COVID lockdowns had abruptly ended to make way for the largest protests in American history. They said it was about systemic racism, but I knew it wasn’t. It was about Trump and all of the forces at play to remove him from power.
Yes, even the protests.
Trump was the first person of any kind of prominence to call out the madness of “cancel culture,” the burning of cities, the violence the media suppressed, and he vowed to do something about it. I didn’t agree with everything he said, but I realized then and there that he was not who I thought he was.
At least half the country has been trapped in a mass delusion for ten years, maybe longer. What else can explain what has happened to so many of them, how they could be so consumed by hatred that they would go along with any punishment enacted upon Trump, or whomever the next person in line behind him will be. Elon Musk? JD Vance?
We joke that it’s TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome, but I think that’s being too kind.
The good news is that more and more people are waking up to what has been done to us all in the name of preserving the American utopia built under the Obama administration. Trump had to represent racism because how else could they sell him as an “existential threat” to the country?

I try to remember when it started, this idea that America was under an urgent threat of rising racism and “white supremacy.” It happened around the time of the Tea Party’s founding, the only grassroots movement I’ve ever seen coming from the Right.
For most of my life, the Republicans were the establishment party. After the 2008 Wall Street crash, the Tea Party began mobilizing and forming a powerful coalition that must have worried many in our establishment government.
Just arguing class or economics or dismantling the bloated administrative state would not have convinced hearts and minds to turn on them. They had to be so toxic Americans would never want to associate with them, help them, support them, or even listen to them.
How easy, then, to turn it into a story of racism. They were white men who were angry at the nation’s first Black president. And it worked. I believed it. I was one of those people who saw the Freedom Caucus as the backlash to Obama.
Not many people have tracked it critically. The stories about racism in the Tea Party are mostly Operation Mockingbird style. They back up the idea that they are only pretending to care about taxes, income inequality, or the size of the government. No, it has to be about the Black president. Reason-TV’s Michael Moynihan was the exception. He made this video: [video at link]
The Obama administration built its empire alongside Wall Street and Silicon Valley under what Vivek Ramaswamy calls “Woke Capitalism.” It was a way out of the mess of 2008. We began building an American utopia, or “Woketopia,” not unlike America after World War II. But to maintain their power, they needed a threat to deflect from their failings after the bank bailouts.
When Trump entered the scene, it was just as these ideas were taking root in the American psyche on the Left like a low-frequency hum that would get louder over time. The Obama birther story was floated as oppo for Hillary Clinton back in 2008, but she declined to use it. Trump then picked it up to damage Obama heading into the 2012 election.
Around 2012, critical race theory began spreading throughout public schools and universities. Black Lives Matter would mobilize not long after that. By 2016, the threat of Trump ballooned into the threat that racists were coming for our democracy.....SNIP
It seems BLM and ANTIFA may not mobilize before the election.
I think the left realized they did more lasting damage with the Floyd riots, BLM and antifa than they expected. So he lefty power that be have decided to not re-use that strategy of looting, pillaging, murdering and burning cities again. BLM and antifa were told to stand down.
But what’s the “next big thing” the leftists will deploy?
And in doing so those government officials and Enemedia betrayed our country and gave aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
If you want to know how they plan to destroy us, look at the tea party.
I was part of that.
It was destroyed from within.
It was destroyed by liberals.
It was destroyed by conservatives.
It was destroyed by the deep state.
All worked together to destroy the only thing that brought both dems and pubs together.
We will be attacked and destroyed from within.
Be very careful who you choose to associate with.
Great article!
Obama employed Cass Sunstein, a Harvard behavior scientist, who posited the theory of group polarization:
“group polarization means that members of a deliberating group predictably move toward a more extreme point in the direction indicated by the members’ predeliberation tendencies.”
With the repetitive power of the Soros paid propaganda machine, Obama and Sunstein brain washed those so deposed to
the “Trump represents racism” message. It made them fanatics.
Because you were stupid, gullible, willfully ignorant, and weak-minded.
That was the end of any relationship I had or would ever have with anyone who identifies as liberal or democrat. Accused of being racist and white nationalist simply for disagreeing with Barry. I told them to pound sand, and why. My life is so much better now, and it really didn’t hurt as much as I had feared. No great loss, as a matter of fact.
Russian and German social scientists in the 1920s and 30s were some of the best in the world and they laid the foundations for USSR use of scientific methods for mass manipulation of control of populations.
Barak Obama was a genius at installing practitioners of this dark art into every nook and cranny of our government. There is literally no government agency or office to be too small or obscure to have avoided Obama's corruption
U.S. citizens. 15% actually have a clue. 85%-—not so much. And I may be on the generous side.
Hillary had a pic of obama in Muslim garb but Uncle Teddy cautioned her not to use it.
She had a late night meeting with Obama then dropped out and was named his secy of state.
I knew the media lied about most things over 40 years ago
There is nothing that illustrates the utter insanity of the left than their gender ideology. Finally people are having enough of biologic males competing against women in sports and sharing their lockerooms. It speaks volumes when a now Supreme Court Justice cannot define a woman, despite legal definitions filling in our laws. Churches with their rainbow flags, now hard pressed to keep up with all of the new colors being added almost daily. Confused young people or worse still children, routinely being given puberty blockers, hormone treatments and mutilating surgery to affirm another gender. People are no longer afraid to say enough of this insanity.
