THE VIEW FROM HERE - Both the GOP and the Dems used fake news to build their extremist core in order to have reliable voters, who would vote the party line without regard to facts, truth or reality. That is the nature of a polarized society from time immemorial; each side believes its own narrative that it alone is virtuous. The Wokers were convinced that White racism was the cause of all the world’s ills and everyone else are its victims. The Dem Narrative’s is – Oppressors (Whites and Jews) vs the Oppressed (minorities) with its Intersectionality Doctrine that all oppressed groups must support each other. Individual rights and merit are ploys of white racism. Only group solidarity matters. A corollary is that since Jews are oppressors, Jews can not be oppressed. Woke feminist groups excluded Jewish women. Ironically, Wokers praise Gay white males who march with Gays for Hamas banners. The purpose of the Woke narrative was to bend the news to make the Dems seem virtuous in the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Maga Used the Same Ploy of Fake News to Solidify Their Core
Faith in Trump’s absurd claim that he won the 2020 Presidential election was vital to solidarity because one proves his faith and loyalty by believing what is demonstrably false. The same was done with January 6th, which ceased to be a violent mob seeking to overturn the election by murdering the Vice President and became a peaceful “day of love” and a “lovefest.’ The rioters who tried to murder police officers were “great patriots.” Trump called the rioters “tremendous people" / "great people", peaceful people" / "peaceful protest. Then, Trump pardoned all the convicted felons. (As faith in Jesus can absolve one of their sins.)
Trump’s pardoning of insurrectionists who had tried to overturn the election by murdering Vice President Pence was a turning point away from Fake News to get Votes towards True News to impose Repression. Trump was telling his minions that no matter what crime they commit on his behalf, he will pardon them. As Trump cryptically stated during his campaign, after this election (Nov 2024) there would be no need for future elections. Trump said he would make America so wonderful that no one would want to bother with voting.
Prior to the November 2024 election, Wokeism was more hated than MAGA. The Dems showed its true colors as the most anti-Semitic political party in American history. What was once the disliked Political Correctness became the PC Police, where students would be discipline for using the wrong pronoun but not for painting swastikas on dorm room doors. Jews were kicked off student councils. Dem VP candidate Tim Walz praised Asad Zaman, pro-Islamic imam and supporter of Hams, saying, "I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it."
After the election with all of Trump’s predatory behavior, the Dems rate lower than GOP in public opinion polls. Many believed that US Constitution’s checks and balance would constrain Trump and the courts limiting his unconstitutional actions would make Trump’s acting upon his delusions impossible. We were wrong.
To our surprise Senate intentionally refused to do it constitutional duties to advice and consent (and reject) nominees, but instead Majority Leader John Thune insisted that every GOP had to vote Yes on every asinine nominee like Pig Hegseth, Pam Bondi, RFK, Jr, predator and Jeffrey Epstein’s friend Howard Lutnick as Secretary of Commerce. While Susie Wiles says she has tried to tone down Trump’s extremes, she admits she has failed. Little wonder, does she has no allies inside the White House. The racist psychopath Stephen Miller and his vile hatred of Mexicans run amuck.
Trump Lives in a World of Delusions
Trump has passed beyond the point of having serious personality disorders. His loss on the 2020 election seems to have pushed him over the edge into some grandiose paranoia that he is the nation’s savior, and everyone is persecuting him. He cannot understand why he has not won the Noble Peace Prize for stopping eight wars, oblivious to the fact that he [has] not stopped eight wars. When he heard that JD Vance was booed at the Olympic, Trump could not believe it since Vance is “so well loved at home.” Vance’s favorability ratings for early 2026 are between 43 and 44%. Trump’s favorability ratings are between 37 and 39%.
Trump is not so delusional, however, to not realize that the GOP are headed to huge electoral loss in November 2026. The GOP could lose both the House and the Senate. Trump does not see his vicious predatory behavior and his non-stop lying to be factors. Instead, it is election fraud, and thus, he plans to take over all the voting in each state. From reading tea leaves, people must be telling Trump that his proposals are unconstitutional, but their advice does not stop his delusion that he is the victim of eternal voter fraud.
When worst comes to worst, Trump will follow the lead the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts and declare a national emergence due to foreign interference in elections and call out the US Marines and then nationalize the State Militias. This is the procedure which CJ Roberts outlined for Trump in Trump vs. Illinois. It also explains why Trump had DNI director Tulsi Gabbard at the seizure of the Georgia voting records - foreign interference in US elections. Gabbard and AG Pam Bondi will declare evidence that evil foreigners electronically changed 2020 Trump votes into Biden votes. Thus, Trump has to seize all the ballots so that there is no voter fraud.
Trump may believe his fake news, but none of his big time supporters are believers, but they know this: when Trump loses in November 2026, their gig is up. They know that more Fake News will not sway the voters. They know that Trump is deranged and impervious to reality. The sole way for them to stay in power is True News of Repression.
Obey or Die!
ICE is grooming the Americans to accept reality: Obey or Die! Renee Good was shot in the side of her head and there will be no investigation of her murderer Jonathan Ross, but they opened an investigation into her spouse. The same goes for the ICE agents who shot Alex Pretti because Pretti helped a woman whom ICE had shoved to the ground. The Trumpists will continue fake news for MAGA. Everyone else get the True News of Repression. Obey or Die means “We will kill you.”
