Last Friday afternoon the media declared Joe Biden President-Elect of the United States of America despite the fact not a single official source has reached this conclusion.
This is hardly surprising. The media hated Donald Trump long before he won the 2016 Presidential election and has spent the last four years trying to discredit him.
Despite Trump proving every one of their polls wrong (there was no Blue Wave washing over America) because The Media Said It we must accept their word as The Gospel.
No thanks. I’ll wait for the official election results.
Call me old-fashioned if you must.
But those who hate The Great Orange Satan aren’t satisfied with simply winning the election and removing Donald Trump from the White House. They want to destroy anyone who ever worked for President Trump, helped him, or voted for him.
Why? Because trump supporters dare to disagree with the Trump-Hating Cabal.
“The Trump Accountability Project” (which claims to uphold American ideals, it seems) publicly calls on Americans to punish every person who supported President Trump.
“We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically,” the project’s website states.
Note the language.
They should welcome all those with whom they differ, they state.
But they don’t.
Instead, they proclaim anyone who dares disagree with the Project’s brain trust (if simple-minded fascism can be called brains, let alone a brain trust) must be punished for their WrongThink.
We should not allow the following groups of people to profit from their experience:
Those who elected him.
Individuals who worked for the Trump for President campaign, Republican National Committee, and affiliated PACs in 2016 or 2020.
Those who staffed his government.
Individuals who worked in any role as a political appointee in the Trump Administration.
Those who funded him.
Individuals who used their massive personal wealth and influence to bundle money for Trump.
In other words, anyone who supported a political opinion other than the approved opinion of “The Trump Accountability Project” is an Enemy of the State.
Trump supporters must be punished, although the project’s website does not explicitly state what form this punishment should take.
On Twitter, “The Trump Accountability Project” makes a series of interesting but unsubstantiated claims.
But the bizarre behaviour gets worse – with a bonus topping of sinister for good measure.
Anonymous Twitter coward “Climate Warrior” – apparently speaking on behalf of the Trump Accountability Project – says they want to build a list of Trump supporters so, once they change the law to make political disagreement a felony, they can arrest, detain and punish Trump supporters wherever they are found.
Welcome to the United States of Communism, where disagreement with the official Party Line will earn you a forced vacation and an approved government reeducation facility.
This should terrify any thinking person, both inside and outside of the United States of America, no matter your political ideology.
Thankfully, there are still some sane voices out there.
Jeffrey Munn, unlike the cowardly Twitter fascist noted above, wholeheartedly disagrees and has the courage to stand behind his words.
Unfortunately, Mr. Munn’s voice is one of the few denouncing the actions advocated by “The Trump Accountability Project” and “Climate Warrior”.
Just This Year…
In 2020, Mayors and Governors across America knelt before violent mobs, cowering in compliance with the mob’s demands, only to see their cities ransacked and burned.
In 2020, “woke” mobs in Seattle declared an “autonomous zone” and then begged for donations to keep their little utopia alive. The Seattle Mayor heartily endorsed their efforts and caved to their every demand.
In 2020, one anonymous thug shot and attempted to murder two police officers sitting in their car. The consensus was that these officers were shot “to right historical wrongs.”
And now we have something that, at least on the surface, appears to be an organized effort to identify those who supported the President of the United States so they can be punished “once the appropriate legal framework can be put in place.”
This kind of totalitarian state rhetoric from anonymous cowardly keyboard warriors is scary. Terrifying, really because we’ve seen what happens when one group holds such visceral hatred for another group that the most unspeakable atrocities become not only permissible, but far, far worse.
These actions become expected. They become normal.
This can’t possibly end well. Not for the jackbooted list-making thugs or for the men and women they despise for refusing to share the approved “GroupThink” message.
GroupThink is the most dangerous virus on the planet, for it pits “them” against “us” and while “we” may be well-armed, “they” have the weight of the mob behind them as well as all the Government’s Men.
If this sort of vitriolic GroupThink is permitted to thrive, 2021 will make the Year of the Pandemic look like a cakewalk.
So far, 70 million American patriots are managing to keep cool, calm and collected. They’re all extremely pissed and yet, no American cities are being burnt to the ground. They are waiting to see if the SCOTUS will make a public exhibit of disciplining rampant Democrat election fraud and the MSM-proclaimed White House “home invasion”.
Now telling those 70 million armed-to-the-teeth patriots that they will be subject to East German Stasi-style Zersetzung (gang stalking) with threats of dehumanizing sanctions, incarceration or even “termination with extreme prejudice” is definitely going to try the patience of each and every one of those patriots. Given the present socio-economic-political climate in the United States, there is no better way to incite a revolution. Very dark times ahead … and not only in the United States of America.
War is when the government tells you who the enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
“War is when the government tells you who the enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.”
Well said, Arie.
Christopher, I make no claim to the origin of that quote; it’s been going around the Interweb in meme form for quite a while. But it sure is fitting for the times. I wish I knew who the author is/was.
I’m fine with attributing it to you until we know differently, Arie! LOL
PS- Exactly this is why Americans have their Second Amendment. All in all, those fathers of American democratic republic were exceptionally clairvoyant regarding the malevolence and rapacity of the group-think mob that would descend on all humanity two and a half centuries later.
Three quotes of note:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H. L. Mencken
“The secret of success in politics is honesty, ethics, and fair dealing. If you can fake all three, you’ve got it made!” Mark Twain
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” George Washington
Arie says it best.
Thanks, Don. Your 3 quotes are spot on as well. There were some highly intelligent, prophetic people in the past. Today … not so much. It is now plain to see why there’s such a push to erase history; we peasants just might actually figure out that our leaders of today are are no different than the despots, tyrants and megalomaniacs of the past.
