Democrat Weaponized Narratives

Podcaster and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has said, "Republicans may not be the answer to all of your problems, but the Democrats are most certainly the cause of most of them." He has also said, "Most Republicans in Congress are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans." These two statements explain a great deal.

Consider some of the biggest issues we face today. A short list would include tens of millions of unvetted illegal aliens, unprecedented financial fraud, stolen elections, a failed educational system, a biased media, and corrupt judges and prosecutors. Yes, Republicans had a hand in some of these, but it’s indisputable that the majority of the actors in those situations are leftists.

Influential sectors -- news media, political parties, academia, legal institutions, entertainment, and business have been systematically promoting only one perspective for many years. Elites in those institutions act as gatekeepers of information, morality, and culture. By ignoring misdeeds within their aligned groups while amplifying or fabricating those of opponents, they create a Manichean worldview: one side inherently virtuous, the other irredeemably corrupt. This selective blindness, compounded by disparagement of national history and motivations, undermines truth, erodes trust, and threatens cohesion.

The immediate mechanism is epistemic corruption. Media outlets that bury scandals involving favored politicians or activists while relentlessly covering (or inventing) parallel offenses on the other side train audiences in motivated reasoning rather than evidence. Academia, once a bastion of inquiry, has become an echo chamber where scholars downplay failures of preferred ideologies -- economic mismanagement, cultural excesses, or ethical lapses -- while pathologizing conservative views. Legal institutions lose perceived impartiality when prosecutions become selective. Entertainment amplifies this through storytelling that glorifies dysfunction and demonizes virtue.

The result is a fractured information environment. Citizens increasingly inhabit parallel realities, where basic facts

There is no mutual goodwill from the left, only violence.

The "other" is no longer a legitimate adversary but an existential threat, eroding norms of fair play essential to a representative constitutional republic.

This is what the democommies have been doing to Trump and MAGA for over 10 years now, and they know exactly what they're doing and where it leads.

Jesus came to divide

Jesus came to unite

How is that possible? The point of division and unification is the same. In the case with Jesus, what is that point?

Trump is following that model. He says some “offensive” things and does things to sort people. Trumps point of division and unification is MAGA. Are you with him or agin him?

The big question in life always revolves around two choices, good and evil. While we may see gray areas, in truth, it is always binary, as imperfect sinful beings we are often incapable of seeing the stark difference between those two choices and the grey areas are where evil works to deceive.

So yes, Christ came to divide and unite and most democrats and republicans are evil, I do not see Trump as any sort of saint, but I do see him as an agent God uses in the manner of Cyrus. One of Trump’s callings is apparently to reveal this division of good and evil on a national and even global scale.

The path back begins with citizens who refuse to be manipulated

Unfortunately, as "COVID" proved, at least 70% of the population is quite willing to be manipulated, or simply too stupid not to be.

We need to limit the ability of Democrats to buy votes by placing middle-class tax caps in the federal constitution.

Enter in bills for two constitutional amendments.

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX AMENDMENT

Levies on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished living space shall be no higher than the 2019 dollar amounts for the property, or for a newer or since resold property no higher than what it would have been levied at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

FEDERAL PERSONAL INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

Federal taxation on personal income shall be progressively capped as follows:
below 20% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 10%,
below 50% of the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 22%,
below the median federal full-time civilian employee compensation amount, 30%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 100,000 largest recipients, 35%,
below the average federal full-time civilian employee compensation of the 10,000 largest recipients, 40%.

[Note 1: All percentages to include employee FICA and self-employment tax as they are income taxes.]
[Note 2: These are very close to the combined (1040 + employee FICA & Medicare) personal income tax rates now levied.]
[Note 3: Anything that the IRS would as of January 1, 2024 legally be able to collect income tax on if provided to any person would be considered compensation.]

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.

The high-income people have the Laffer Curve effect to protect them.

These amendments will serve to reunite the United States.

The emphasis will shift back to making systems work with the generally limited funds available. If more funds are absolutely needed at a given time, government salaries can be cut. That won’t be for long.

you get it, many don’t.

Remember most of our problems come from Amendment XVI.

Glad American Thinker is finally catching up.

It started with George "Selected Not Elected" Bush.

...Most Republicans in Congress are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans...

#1 Truth OF Life: The worst of the worst want to become politicians first. Another way of saying this is that the people who crave power are usually the ones you would least likely want to give it them.

The only good leaders come about when 'The Man Who Just Wanted To Be Left Alone' enters politics. Like Reagan. Like Trump. They both had a good life but could not tolerate just sitting at the sidelines anymore. The reason our Constitution worked as well as it did is because it pitted scumbag vs. scumbag while liberty existed between the two.

[Tommy Revolts]

You got that right.

Not just bushy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdvEy60mMUU 20 m 7 s In 1973, a San Francisco judge named William Newsom physically delivered ransom money to Italian gangsters on behalf of the Getty family. That same judge later lobbied state legislators to pass a law that unlocked billions inside a locked Getty trust — and was named trustee of that trust His son went on to start a business with Gordon Getty's son, receive investment from Paul Pelosi's firm, and get appointed to city office by the mayor his restaurant had hosted fundraisers for. That son is Gavin Newsom, the current governor of California. This is the documented story of four families — the Gettys, the Browns, the Pelosis, and the Newsoms — and how a century of favors, investments, and inherited access produced the most powerful politician in the state California Underground covers the California stories the rest of the media ignores — following the audits, the contracts, the budgets, and the officials responsible for outcomes that aren't matching the promises. No team. Just receipts
