Democrats, as
evidenced by the Biden administration, clearly believe that projection plus gaslighting
equals victory (P+G=V). Victory, of course, means power. And there is nothing
more important to Democrats than power. Period.
Projection:
Democratic strategist number 1:
“What don’t we want voters to know about us?”
Democratic strategist number 2:
“That we are semi-fascist authoritarians bent on destroying our opponents…and
our nation. And that we are a ‘threat to our democracy.’”
Democratic strategist number 1: “So
what do we do about this?”
Democratic strategist number 2: “We
tell them that Republicans are semi-fascist authoritarians bent on destroying
Democrats…and our nation. And that they are a ‘threat to our democracy.’”
Democrats in unison: “Brilliant!”
And, sadly, it
works.
Gaslighting:
President Biden (speech
given September 1):
“Too
much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and
the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations
of our Republic…
“…But
there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and
intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to
this country…
“…And
here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the
Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the
will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and
they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to
decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election
deniers to undermine democracy itself.” Etc., etc., ad infinitum.
President Biden’s Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre (September 2): “And so for him [Biden}, this was not a political speech.” Say
what?!
President Biden also recently said there was “zero inflation” in July just
hours after federal Consumer Price Index data showed an inordinately high annual
inflation rate of 8.5%.
And remember, the summer long riots of 2020 were “mostly
peaceful.” (Don’t pay any attention to the looted stores, burning buildings and
police cars, or the innocent people being assaulted.) But January 6 was an
insurrection and a catastrophe on the order of 9/11, Pearl Harbor, or the Civil
War.
Don’t you understand yet? You didn’t see what you saw,
didn’t hear what you heard. And you shouldn’t believe what you believe.
Or you are an extremist, a semi-fascist, a terrorist, a
threat to our democracy…and freedom everywhere.
The United States is not riven by “systemic racism,” at least
not in the manner progressives claim it is. But there are “systemic” problems
afflicting the nation. The systemic ignorance, foolishness, and naivete of a large part of the electorate, and the
systemic prevarication, hypocrisy-- and rising authoritarianism-- on the part
of the (formerly) Democratic Party.
Biden and his ilk have essentially decriminalized crime-- and
criminalized conservatism, traditional Christianity, and the founding values
and principles of the nation they lead. It is they who have launched attacks on
everything American, attacks on language, attacks on morality.
As President Trump has noted, it is an attack on you. It is
an attack on me. And anyone with whom they disagree.
Ultimately, it is an attack on reality itself.
It is heinous and it is evil.
It is no coincidence that the backdrop for Biden’s “Battle
for the Soul of the Nation” speech, ironically delivered in Philadelphia’s Independence
Hall, would have been much more fitting for a crazed polemic emanating from the
mouths of Hitler or Mussolini.
Semi-fascist?
You decide.
