By appearing magnanimous, Trump won the night.
The belief that our mainstream media’s narrative represents a nefariously crafted web of lies, deceit, and misdirection is nothing new, and “conspiracy theorists” are as old as time itself. Thanks to the unrelenting power of the internet, though, revelations surrounding the “Deep State,” “New World Order,” cloak and dagger operations, and “smoke-filled-room” corruption around the world are becoming more widely discussed all the time.
Despite news of a damning intelligence memo on DNC and FBI collusion against Trump being stamped for release to the public this week, the president didn’t mention it during his first State of the Union address. Instead, Trump’s speech was about unity: a message that most of the members of the DNC in attendance would not reciprocate.
To make matters worse, their “response,” which aired from Massachusetts immediately after the address, came across as divisive, melodramatic, and at times borderline treasonous. When half the aisle won’t stand and clap for the president paying respect to the national anthem but they’ll constantly refer to foreigners illegally in our country as Americans during their half-baked “response,” it’s safe to say that side of the aisle has lost sight of what is best for the country.
Slowly but surely, conspiracy is becoming reality. Anyone who has been paying attention knows WikiLeaks, Project Veritas, #QAnonymous, countless independent journalists on the internet, and Donald Trump himself are making damn sure of it. If you were waiting on pins and needles to see if the president would take advantage of the biggest bully pulpit in the world to nail shut the DNC’s coffin with a reading of the FISA memo, you might be feeling a bit put off. My message is to stand by. The memo will be a confirmation of every damning thing you already know about these swamp creatures and Russia Gate. It’s coming.
By appearing magnanimous, Trump won the night. On the other side of the coin, by clinging to the way things were before the veil had been lifted on so many of these scandals involving corrupt politicians, strange bedfellows, and abuses of power by leftovers of every three-letter agency under the previous administration’s umbrella, the DNC and MSM are becoming more widely recognized as the new peddlers of conspiracy theories and fake news. The disconnect between what they say and what the average American outside of the major markets experiences is beyond perplexing, so I look at it this way:
By appearing magnanimous, Trump won the night.
We’ve all heard of autism, the developmental disorder in kids hallmarked by an impairment in the ability to form normal social relationships and by a malfunction in the human instinctive trait of being able to communicate with others. It’s also characterized by obsessive and repetitive behavioral patterns. In the wake of the Trump election, liberalism as a political movement has become autistic.
Picture a Chinese guy showing up to a house party wearing a kilt and then sitting in the corner playing with a fidget spinner while everyone else socializes and has a good time together. That guy was the DNC tonight as the black caucus wouldn’t even stand and clap as a show of respect for a black family who lost two of their girls at the hands of MS13 gangbangers.
Minus the fidget spinner, I’d probably rather have a few beers with a maverick like my imaginary kilted Chinese friend over most of the people at the party, but the problem is that the DNC wears its kilt not as a quirky individualist, but rather as a frustrated and angry little man who cannot register why people look upon their Scottish clothing as an eccentric and odd choice in the first place. Somehow, it’s everyone else’s fault.
Rather than own the fact that he’s an oddball and use it to his advantage as a conversation-starter, a sign that he is unique, or a way of expressing himself positively to others, the DNC just sits in the corner alone denying the kilt’s Scottish origins, denying that he’s becoming the black sheep of the group, and denying reality altogether. Disconnected and unaware of themselves, the DNC can no longer navigate a proper social relationship with everyday people. The autistic shrieking gets louder, the fidget spinner spins round and round, and the MSM perpetuates the cycle.
It’s been over a year since talking heads like Fareed Zakaria, Dana Bash, and Jake Tapper (just to name a few) went in front of the camera to lick their wounds after their network got it all wrong in the leadup to the 2016 election. The picture these people painted of the American consciousness proved to be all in their own reclusive minds on election night as those false narratives gloriously blew up in their faces. It seemed as clear as the rising sun that they’d have to correct course or become the Titanic, but as we now know, any glimmer of hope that we’d get a new and improved mainstream media machine in this country has fully faded.
Please come back to earth, Dems, because right now you’re in Narnia.
The moment of clarity lasted for less than a week as these flunkies referenced their inabilities to have a normal social understanding of our nation’s “flyover country” to explain how they could have been so wrong. Some even turned introspective and questioned the liberal mainstream media bubble they had quarantined themselves in for so long. As short-lived as it was, that was the proper thing to do in the social context, but their kilt has become so unbecoming.
After spending over a year cheerleading, aiding and abetting cheating, and covering up for a losing candidate, the MSM rebranded itself post-election not with humility, but as the “resistance,” and it is proving suicidal in terms of maintaining what was left of their credibility. All that remains in this business now are socially autistic cheerleaders for false narratives. Trump didn’t need to prove what we all knew tonight. He just needed to look good, and he did, because he has been good.
In 2018, the mainstream narrative is still being pushed by an echo chamber of Hollywood actors who literally get paid to be someone they’re not, a list of narcissistic and sexually deviant politicians and power-brokers longer than the Dead Sea scrolls, Silicon Valley creatures who understand coding but not basic human socialization, and “journalists” who have become so hijacked by their on-air personalities that they don’t even know who they are anymore.
Let’s look at the fruits of their labor. The NFL’s 2017-2018 season was a ratings nightmare. The #MeToo movement has almost exclusively ruined the careers of the same progressives whom we’ve come to despise for their constant throwing of rocks from glass houses, Silicon Valley’s abuses of power and censorship of conservatism are front and center, and journo hacks from outfits like MSNBC have resorted to calling Devin Nunes a “Russian Agent” for voting to release the FISA memo to the American people. What are the Grammy’s again? No one seems to know. Please come back to earth, Dems, because right now you’re in Narnia.
CNN can continue to pitch people like Jay-Z as the new heroes of the so-called resistance, but it’s only helping Trump’s nationalist and conservative message. Honestly, hearing Jay-Z – a man who made a career off a persona that put money, fame, and fortune above all else – say that stock market records, tax cuts, and the repatriation of so many businesses back to the US is not an accomplishment because “it’s not about money at the end of the day” perfectly proves my point. Hearing this twit say that Trump is being “hurtful” because he ruffles feathers out in the Twittersphere after making a career off bragging about killing other black men, selling drugs to his neighborhood, and objectifying women puts the icing on the cake. To think extreme displays of hypocrisy like this are something most of America can get behind is the autistic and disconnected pattern of behavior I’m talking about.
Trump’s first State of the Union address was a combination of Democrats sitting and mean-mugging during moments that would have had both sides of the aisle erupting with applause a decade ago, establishment Republicans pretending they’re somehow better at giving a damn about everyday Americans than their jackass counterparts, and feel-good stories that only a person without a heart could be unmoved by. My favorite guests were the Albuquerque police officer and his wife who adopted a heroin addict’s child and the amputee North Korean defector who triumphantly raised those crutches he used while escaping that shithole.
If you’re disappointed about a lack of FISA memo fireworks, don’t worry. Tomorrow is a new day.
