There has been a defense mechanism programmed these last few years to mimick the President's fondness of DARVO. No larger pieces will be drawn from this because it doesn't fit the narrative of an evil controlling progressive elite.
Now had you focused primarily on the democrat ones and connected them to their campaign contributors, and then them to California tech giants, you could generate 50 responses of lockstep devil fear. But if you hold a mirror to the reflection of itself, it will still be seen as a window to a hell of other people. Hell is ALWAYS other people.
Here's a non-pedo example.
For years you had the folks accusing the left of child everything also accusing the left of having a state media, (MSM) like CNN and NBC. They controlled through selective focus and fact checking. It was ingrained to seem as part of a larger overbearing takeover of thought and brainwashing of woke agenda. And it worked.
Now hold a mirror and watch the responses.
Fox News parrots everything Trump says, Trump parrots everything Fox News says, and they believe their journalistic integrity beyond reproach, but will rarely let their overall tone contradict the will of The President. They'll invite a token liberal on to call an idiot and railroad, but that's about it.
Kinda seems like *IF* one can argue CNN was Biden State Media *THEN* Fox News is Trump State Media, but you can't do that. There is an ingrained rejection mechanism that renders Fox News 100% accurate and non-agenda driven or politically bias while CNN is still the MSM of the controlling global elite doing all the lying.
The left can't call Fox News state media, but the right can call CNN state media at will.
Nosferatu politics.
* So I'm not shattering any glass houses...
We the democrats of 2021 through 2025 approached the following things wrong:
Lenient border policy
Advocacy for snowflakes
Teaching snowflake advocacy to children
Progressive spending
Trying to swampgas the origin of covid
Mandating vaccines under penalty
Prosecuting Donald Trump for EVERYTHING possible
Would any current GOP supporter like to come up with a list of things they've approached wrong?
Unless they haven't approached anything wrong...
And that is the long way of explaining the reason why I think the Republican half of the list gets brushed aside and ignored.
I am sort of agog...
Although, to be certain... the pedo thing has zero to do with 'party'... (remember "
Conspiracy of Silence: The Franklin Cover Up"? plenty of
establishment MIC conservatives in that saga.)
As for the collective sigh issued as a result of your statement...
We the democrats of 2021 through 2025 approached the following things wrong:
"Democrats" did no such thing... the party leaders charted this course, and now - as usual - it's not
their fault at all.
Lenient border policy
Not a "policy problem" to the party leaders
A - It paid off politically in spades, it paid off in dollars to donors more. Long game baby.
B - Lot's of folks made plenty of extra income dealing with this stuff... wonder who got it?
C - Cartel operations... ahem... Cartel operations... the cartels have "partners"...
Advocacy for snowflakes
Teaching snowflake advocacy to children
Not a "policy problem" to the party leaders
A - Viral/stunt power... amplify virtue against shock
B - Engage activists and media
C - Villainize based upon demographic
Progressive spending
It is excessive opportunistic often hidden spending was the 'open market' recently leapt upon.
I would never believe "excessive opportunistic often hidden spending" was in any way limited to Democrats...
It never was... it never had been... well... kinda.
Trying to swampgas the origin of covid
If you mean gaslighting... I can't argue the term...
To say that it was the "administration" that did that is like pretending the reason
why didn't exist... no one party get to own all the guilt.
But it wasn't "simply" the government players, although many played on...
led by something only they know for certain.
There are a lot of asses to cover
If there was ever material for a curriculum about the "global" conspiracy of COVID...
they created most of it themselves... their 'reaction' to failing made it worse.
The over the top PUSH, the scramble to cover, the hush before the storm... it's all there.
We had few heroic governments asking questions... and the few that were well...
Like I said, "There are a lot of asses to cover"
Mandating vaccines under penalty
We all share part of the burden for that working at all.
Few would risk defiance in government service...
Few would risk not emulating government policy.
"We never made anyone do anything." is said as much by Republicans as Democrats...
so you can be pretty much certain of no such thing.
Prosecuting Donald Trump for EVERYTHING possible
I offer you one idea... blame the goddamn media for doing what they do to your world...
Half of your political woes are fueled (if not directly caused by) media "productions."
Some fool's idea of what "take away" should be, and what "imagery" to add to news.
It was reality TV drama... especially focused to annoy someone they really don't like...
It's a club... and all are welcome... just tune to any media and join....
.. except FOX... seems like they have flipped NPR over and found what was on the other side.
[Edit to add: Sorry for the overly enthusiastic and verbose response...
BTW: Great post!]
