The American public is caught between the ongoing mass delusions of the Left and the "move fast and break things" actions of DOGE.
I’ve been watching in horror for the past ten years as the Left - aka, the people with all of the institutional power - lose their minds. I know they don’t see it that way. They think I’m the one who lost my mind. I was radicalized by the Right, they think. I had a nervous breakdown, they think. But the truth is that I haven’t changed. The only thing I did was refuse to go along with the madness.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I went along with it at first. Even though history told me Trump couldn’t lose in 2016, I was still awash in misery and fear not just that year but every year of his presidency until the very last one when I realized everything I once believed was an illusion.
I was in a bubble, a feedback loop, built by social media, tribalism, collectivism, and a wildly dishonest legacy press. My mistake was trusting that they were telling me the truth. I was shocked to find in 2020 that they were not. They were gaslighting us, doing the bidding of the Democratic Party, just as they are doing now.
As an example of the level of hysteria we’re dealing with here, a review posted in Variety details how the Brazilian film, I’m Still Here is a “warning” for the United States. The headline, “It could happen here.”
I’m Still Here is about Rubens Paiva, who, according to Wikipedia, was a “Brazilian civil engineer and politician who, as a Congressman at the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, opposed the implementation of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964. Due to his involvement with activities deemed subversive by the dictatorial regime, he was arrested by the military forces and subsequently tortured and murdered. His remains were never found.”
That is a perfect description of how the Left sees the Trump administration, even though they lost in a free and fair election to Trump, an election they could have won if they hadn’t installed Joe Biden in 2020, then turned on him, pushed him out of power and installed Kamala Harris, forbidding any kind of democratic process to find a stronger leader.
Their loss is entirely their own fault. They had everything - money, media, celebrities, and power- and they still lost. Much of the reason why they lost is their disconnect from reality. They could not speak to the people, much less address their needs.
That disconnect from reality is imagination gone wrong. It’s too bad they can’t funnel it into telling better stories, making better movies, writing better books - but all of those have been captured by dogma and can only tell the same story over and over again. And that’s what they’re doing here. It must be true that Trump was an unstoppable, extraordinarily evil presence they could not eradicate by normal means and they are helpless against his power.
I hoped that with the second Trump win, the mass delusion would be punctured, but I was wrong. It’s much worse now than it’s ever been. The Woketopians locked away in their doomsday bunker read to me like David Koresh once the FBI announced they were outside.
It’s hard for me to watch people this afraid. To them, the mass deportations are military police and Hitler’s army. To them, purging schools of indoctrination is “book banning.” To them, scaling down government is fascism. I don’t know how to help them see reality. Or how to help them at all.
What is even more ironic in attempting to compare Trump to Brazil in the 1960s or any fascist dictator is that only one side has attempted to jail its political opponent. Only one side spied on and framed their political opponent. Only one side put protesters in solitary and called them terrorists.
Only one side will destroy your entire career over how you voted or a joke on X. Only one side demands conformity and that you obey their Newspeak or else. Only one side censored free speech via social media, violating the First Amendment. And they were just getting started.
Here’s a pro tip - how you know you’re not under the rule of a fascist dictator is that you can call them a fascist dictator in public, and nothing bad will happen to you. They had four years to prove to America that they were the better side, but they failed. Rather than confront that reality, they’ve found a way to pivot away from their faults. And of course, they’re all coming back to X, even Stephen King:
In case you missed it, that’s Stephen King standing up for a governor who has vowed to defy Trump’s Executive Order to keep biological men out of women’s sports. When I say there is no saving the Left, I mean there is no saving the Left. There is only saving America from them.
Musk has control of X. He could ban Stephen King and every single person who calls him a fascist and a Nazi, and much worse. He doesn’t. Not only that, but he allows the worst tweets about him to live on the app, some of them with over 100K likes as the so-called “resistance” cosplays that they’re under the thumb of a fascist dictator.
It’s their mass delusions that have always been a threat not just to this country but to themselves. At this rate, they’ll be out of power for a generation.
Unless, of course, MAGA moves too fast and breaks too many things.
Smart Politics, Dumb Politics
Doge is, I think, serving the American people well on one hand. Our government was too big. There was too much fat on the bone, too much fraud, and too many unaccounted-for billions. We were headed for bankruptcy, and our inflation is out of control. So why not go in with a chainsaw and mow it all down, like Javier Milei did in Argentina?
Musk is the richest man in the world. He will suffer no consequences for mistakes made. Trump and MAGA, however, will.
Of course, we know this is a rigged game. They’ll never give Trump or Musk any credit for anything they do. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post are all at war with the Trump administration going on ten years by now. They’ll attack attack attack until his poll numbers drop, and then they’ll feel emboldened to go in for the kill.
The latest mass hysteria episode comes after Musk announced he would send emails to workers ordering them to prove their work or be fired, as he did at Twitter when he bought it. Here is the email, which seems harmless enough:.....SNIP
I don’t see how the left can be saved from themselves. They got a ticket to Jonestown and they like Kool Aid.
We’ll find out in 20 months.
Not far enough. Cut to the BONE. Stephen Washed Up Hack King, move to the Ukraine please. I hear it’s warmer than Maine.
Stephen King..I’m baaack. Did you miss me?
I didn’t know he was gone. Apparently he thinks people care.
I am tired of the boo-hoo stories about people who lost their gov’t jobs. Get over it and find a new job. If you are really as good as your sad-sack stories proclaim, you’ll find another job quickly. If, instead, you choose to crawl into a corner and cry about it, that’s okay, too. Just don’t expect me to cry along with you.
At this rate Trump’s work will be finished in 2 years. No need to continue in office.
At the nations’ 250th birthday he should put out feelers about quitting thereby setting up JD for 10 years. He could even threaten to run again just to push the buttons of the left. He’d leave on the condition the gop keeps congress.
By leaving early he could show the country it’s the people who rule not any wannabe POTUS.
Huge numbers of people are not in prison yet or tried for treason and executed. For me, this is FAR from over.
In the words of Mae West: “Too much of a good thing is wonderful!”
Liberalism is a disease with no cure.
I’m of a mind it will take much longer than 2 years even at this rate to overturn permanent Washington. Tribunals and executions/banishment need to happen.
The Left: Parents who love their athletic daughters will do the right thing and clap as her dreams are crushed by a cheating boy with a ponytail. That’s right. Clap as some deluded narcissist gayboy who can’t cut it against the other boys takes her college scholarship. A decade of your daughter’s hard work down the toilet! Isn’t he stunning and brave?
“I hoped that with the second Trump win, the mass delusion would be punctured, but I was wrong. It’s much worse now than it’s ever been. The Woketopians locked away in their doomsday bunker read to me like David Koresh once the FBI announced they were outside.”
They are all chomping at the bit for another civil war, but when they do try it they will fail in a big way. The window opens on 30MAR2025. Hope everyone is prepared.
I’m sure Mr. King would accept a couple of hundred illegal aliens to live on his property. If you don’t put your money where your mouth is, then you are as worthless as your meh books.
The latest mass hysteria episode comes after Musk announced he would
send emails to workers ordering them to prove their work or be fired.........
Clever Musk on why he sent emails demanding federal workers reply: “It’s meant to snare
people who are supposed to be working for the govt who are doing little or no work”
“In other words, outright fraud. We believe:
<><>non-existent people or the id’s of dead people are being used
<><>in order to collect paychecks
<><>this will snare those who cant or dont check their email.”
They like koolaid but they won’t drink it fast enough so we are stuck with them.
When you get to the bone you’re half way there.
I am too. I have had four people in my family work for the federal government.
My 40 year old daughter currently works for the VA. She has only been with them for about a year. She works remotely. Has a team of six people under her. She was asked a couple weeks ago to recomend who to keep or let go. She said if she gets fired she will just go find another job. This is probably her fourth job since graduating college.
My younger brother and his wife both worked for the Bureau of Prisons for their entire careers. They have both been retired now for 2-5 years. After putting in 27-34 years.
My older brother also worked for the VA straight out of grad school. He worked right in downtown DC on Wisconsin Ave. Lived in Falls Church, VA. He was told by multiple people to NOT work for the Federal Government in DC for more than two years. Or he would get a reputation for being a lazy slacker and nobody in the DC area would want to hire him. This was back in the early 80s. He went into the private sector after two years and eventually moved to Dallas.
I recently heard a story that apparently was kinda hidden from the public. At least I had never heard about it.
After the US Women’s soccer team won the World Cup they were pretty high on themselves. Rightly so, they were the best Woman’s soccer team in the world. Many of the players became famous and wealthy with endorsements.
So, they challenged some Men’s soccer team out of the UK to a match. This was NOT the UK’s country team. It was some professional club team. In the first twenty minutes of the match the men were up by eight goals to ZERO. There was even one point where one of the men dribbled down the field and literally got by EVERY woman player on the field and then scored a goal(all by himself). I believe they stopped the match when the men were up 12 to 0.
This is not a course correction, this is a counter revolution and it cannot go far enough to root out all leftism / woke until not a single atom of it exists and we know for sure it will barely be a footnote in the history books 200 years from now.
This is an enemy that has proven it cannot be reasoned with and it desperately wants to see us suffering and then DEI under their boot. They have committed the most heinous atrocities mutilating children, no one should be thinking about going to far, we need to be thinking about how to go farther!
