Really, liberals. You think that it is going to make a blind bit of difference to your power project whether you push Trump off the ballot in Colorado? And all your other dumb-as-a-post Lawfare shenanigans?
As I say. The only question now is how much of a butcher’s bill you chaps run up before the next regime comes in and starts to clean up the mess you left behind.
Jeffrey A. Tucker has a post today about the feeling of “impending doom” here in America. Noting the dumb-as-a-post White House Xmas video, he notes:
In the real world, these days are utterly packed with dread about some not yet seen crisis on the way. We know it, and dread it. We also know that the White House itself will be the source.
Mind you, after watching part one of Washington’s Armor last night, there was a plenty of dread in 1750 as the French and Indian War heated up in Ohio, and the young George Washington was earning his spurs in the chaotic politics and proxy wars of the time.
I keep thinking, as we see “the walls closing in” on Donald Trump with deep-state Lawfare and regime media distortions: what planet do these liberals live on?
Of course, I know the answer. Liberals live in a ruling-class bubble, and instinctively fight to defend the regime. Yet despite this, and despite the fact that there are Narrative tapes for everything that explain the world as a glorious liberal quest for justice, liberals instinctively know that things are rotten in the state of Denmark. They don’t admit it to themselves, and certainly not to their bigoted racist acquaintances, but they know. Deep down, they know.
Listen liberals. You kicked Richard Nixon out of the White House on a fake pretext, and you cauterized the Silent Majority, for a while.
You maligned Ronald Reagan, of the Reagan Democrats, for being an “amiable dunce” and then a cold-war warrior, and then a monster creating homelessness. You tried a repeat of Watergate with the Iran-contra affair but you failed.
You maligned George W. Bush who tried to make peace with you with his “compassionate conservatism” line and his foolish decision to help minority home-ownership by backing the Fannie-Freddie mortgage bubble that crashed in 2008.
You have pushed back without mercy against Donald Trump and his ultra-MAGA hordes, and you probably stole the 2020 election, and you treated the mostly-peaceful J6 protesters as a defeated marauding rebel army in the way that you never do with regime-approved protesters from BLM and AntiFa.
Where do you think it’s going to end, geniuses? The ordinary middle class has been demonstrating for 50 years that they aren’t getting no respect. Er, not actually “demonstrating,” but showing in their votes that they aren’t getting that they need out of the political system.
And that’s just the ordinary middle class.
What about what you guys did to the white working class, after celebrating them in the first half of the 20th century? What about the blacks, of whom Lyndon Johnson famously said after the passage of the Great Society programs that those n-words will be voting Democrat for the next 200 years? What about the collapse of the black family and the fact that blacks commit violent crimes at 8 times the rate of whites? Whatabout women, lured into sexual liberation and into the workforce and now attacked as transphobes for not appreciating trans people in the bathroom and women’s sports? Whatabout the monstrous inflation in housing prices over the last half century that have priced ordinary Americans out of comfortable suburban homes? Whatabout the failures of education, where kids just aren’t learning any more? Whatabout the monstrous inflation in college costs? Whatabout the climate change scam? Whatabout the systemic racism slur?
Go ahead liberals. Lawfare Trump and all who sail in her. Ramp up your climate scam. Go full bore on all your wokey DEI nonsense from “harm” to TERF marginalization to chasing parents protesting at school board meetings.
We’ve been here before.After the French Revolution it was the Reign of Terror. After the Bolshevik Revolution it was the Great Purge. After the Maoist Revolution it was the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Yay!
And you know what, dear liberal? Those terror purges were all about one thing. The glorious revolution that was going to change the world had failed. And so the revolution leaders lashed out at the enemy, wreckers and saboteurs, that were clearly to blame for the failures. Mainly the revolution had failed because instead of an era of prosperity and justice it brought famine and injustice.
Guess what, dear liberals. That’s your situation. Your glorious rule that was going to lift up the oppressed peoples of the United States has failed. See above.
And you know why it was failed? It’s simple, rally. It has failed because politics is just about defeating the enemy. It knows nothing about families, about prosperity, about health care, about saving for retirement, about race or class or gender. All it knows it mobilizing the country against the enemy with taxes and central banks and armaments and armies and battles and bombing. Oh and freezing the economy with regulation.
With anything other that a nice little Oppenheimer A-bomb in the New Mexico desert, it usually Makes Things Worse.
And the near term result is that ordinary people start to feel a sense of “impending doom.” Just like right now, as Wes Anderson ramps up for his great new movie, “Reign of Terror City.” I wonder if all the usual regulars like Ralph Fiennes and Lobby Boy Tony Revolori will sign up for the new movie.
