Trump, Media Indoctrination & The Recipe For A National Mental Breakdown.

Once upon a time in America, circa 2007, we all understood a little something called nuance, and most had this currently foreign concept we were born with called a sense of humor. Well something had to be done about that, so for the next 8 years, the media set out on its mission to ruthlessly remove any trace of either, with no consideration given to what the potential long term effects would be.

All the different races got along fairly well, most of the long held hardcore biases and racial animosities of the past had fallen by the wayside, most people understood that LGBT people were naturally born LGBT, that most Mexicans were not drug dealers, and that the vast majority of Muslims were not terrorists, but that we had to be vigilant, and pay close attention to those two communities, because we didn't want to let a few bad apples ruin the reputation of the group as a whole, so we had to pass laws to make sure the criminal elements were routed out and couldn't come here to begin with. You know, logical stuff, nothing extreme in the least.

That was the opinions held by all, even liberal Democrats, at that point even many mainstream Republicans were coming around to that way of thinking. But... Democrats thinking long term, realized they couldn't win if they ran on that anymore could they? Since there would soon be nothing to delineate the Right from Left on social issues. So they needed a strategy to divide and conquer. So in comes their buddies in the mainstream media to offer them a helping hand.

The first manipulation came early, Obama won by American standards, a fairly wide 4% margin, aided immeasurably by the fact that George W. Bush was the worst Republican President in history, and by the fact that they ran a 70 year old war monger in John McCain, who chose a blithering idiot as his running mate. It was basically a can't lose situation for the Dems, had we ran Hillary Clinton even, we'd have probably taken it easily. Most reasonable people realized the country at that point had had enough of war, and were in the mood for a relaxing of the more puritanical morals being pushed by the Bush administration, it was just one of those every 8 year pendulum swings. BUT NO... the media chose to push the narrative that this was a long term shift, that the country, which swung Left by 4 measly percent had irrevocably changed and would never be the same again, we were now a post-racial world, and that the Democrats had that unassailable BLUE WALL of domination, that absolutely no one could scale. Which was the walking talking brash as hell definition of HUBRIS, something the Left loved to say about the previous President.

So... for the next 8 years, in a period where we all just wanted to sit back and chill, and have things go back to normal, because we were sick of war, strife, censorship, nanny state ideals, and that we all just wanted to get back to a quasi relaxed state, where we didn't feel on edge like the bottom was going to fall out, we all shut down and stopped paying attention to a large degree. Well while we were all sleeping, the working class, White, Black and Latino, which were main constituents of the Democratic Party were slowly being written out of the picture by a President and a party, as they embraced radical identity politics and gender studies because they truly believed that they had that unassailable blue wall, and didn't have to cater or even think about their old base anymore.

So while Obama and his cronies were enacting policies that irrevocably changed the the curriculum in schools, and colleges, who brainwashed all who entered the halls of education with Marxist deconstructionist post modern nihilistic hatred for America and our history, culture, historical figures, food, tradition, basically everything including capitalism itself, both the bad and the good were tossed out of the window, they didn't care how many babies went out with the bathwater, they were all guilty by association.

So how did the media aid in all of this you may ask? It wasn't all that subtle, it was in the form of the non stop public executions of public figures for thought crimes and un-PC speech, both real and imagined, as in some stories were intentionally misinterpreted by intellectually dishonest media members, to take out unpopular cultural or political figures. It became the norm, every week, a new ratings worthy public scandal, it got to the point where the media literally had watchdogs scanning the Twitter feeds of celebrities waiting for them to slip up and say something un-PC to put them on show trial for the whole world to see, humiliate them, ruin their lives and leave their careers and in some cases, beloved personas assassinated lying bleeding to death as the whole world stood above the corpse laughing maniacally, the public cult like PC bloodlust for another sacrificial pop culture victim had satiated. NOW!!!... on to the next.

This gruesome spectacle got to the point where it became a week to week event, sometimes everyday a new PC scandal erupted, and with it, another career and reputation flung onto the bonfire of the vanities. This was the Left's purging of their former demons, you know the ones that had a sense of humor, understood nuance, realized that relationships between men and women, the language we use with one another, our at times subtly sexual behavior with each other was beyond complex. The Left that used to value Stand Up Comedians as the Free Speech Warriors they were, that we got sexual, cultural, ethnic, racial humor, understood that when people said insensitive epithets towards one another, most of the time they were said in jest, not because we all literally thought the other person was mentally challenged, gay, fat etc. Gone was all sense of reason, logic and rationale. In walks the new puritans, the thought police, the word police, the fun police. The Left's transformation, with the media's aid, was complete. In other words, in walked the new FASCISM.

Now what did those 8 years of outrage to outrage brainwashing accomplish? It caused everyone to be in a constant heightened state of alert for thought crimes both real and imagined, falsely believing the media, which pushed these non stop witch hunts were their friends. So the once cynical, highly skeptical of the media Left, has now not only become blind trusting sycophantic lemmings, but also the media's useful idiot accomplices. The Left had officially turned its collective brain off, and went into cruise control.

 

Now along the way, Trump was pushing the highly divisive Obama Birther angle, which in most people's eyes, was a very cynical ploy on his part to win over the Far Right in case he ever decided to run for President, many viewed it as racially motivated, but in my humble opinion, anyone with a half a brain should have been able to tie the pieces together, Obama had a dubious history with Reverend Wright, who let's be honest, HATES AMERICA, members of the radical 60's communist terrorist group The Weather Underground, Michelle said she was for the first time proud to be an American. So one could piece together a VERY OBVIOUS narrative that Obama might not like America all that much. Well Trump does, so maybe that might have been his true motive, what do you think? Trump is an America loving capitalist and a Nationalist, that much should be obvious.

So, the media decided to cynically get behind Trump and push him with all their might, because they truly thought that blue wall was impenetrable, and that he was a buffoon that could be beaten easily. What they didn't count on, is how much most Americans hate Hillary Clinton, and didn't trust her and her war mongering as far as they can throw her. Therefore making what probably would have been a blowout for a Sanders, a ridiculously close race, that Clinton eventually lost, legitimately.

Then the media along with Clinton decided to start pushing the narrative, which the brainwashed masses, who at this point has ceased thinking for themselves, ate up hook line and sinker, that not only was Trump a racist, but also an anti-semite, Islamophobe, homophobe, Latinophobe and every other epithet known to man. And that he had an army of nefarious followers known as the Alt Right, who were all closeted white supremacist sleeper cells, even going as far as having Hillary do a goddamn nationally televised speech on the Alt Right, who basically no one had heard of up to that point. So the public were both made aware of and taught to fear a group they had no knowledge of, with one fell swoop on the same day. And of course, all of it tied to Trump.

Of course they left out the little fact that there is no Alt Right, they were actually a bunch of contrarian Youtubers who were either Libertarians or former Liberals that loved Western Civilization dearly. With a handful of outliers that happened to be racist nutjobs, that most of the Youtubers distanced themselves from by a mile. By the way, that constituency has always been a part of the right, its nothing new because of Trump. But the damage had been done, the narrative written ad set in stone.

So all of this, combined with the narrative the media ws pushing that Trump COULD NOT WIN, the Left, who like I said are lemmings who no longer think for themselves, bought into i. Therefore setting the stage for a letdown of monumental proportions come election day. For the record, most in the media were buying into their own bull****, so many of them were equally surprised when the unthinkable occurred.

So in comes the next phase, they're in complete denial, so they begin to make excuses, refuse to take blame, pass the buck, going down the rabbit hole of madness, coming up with conspiracy theories as to why Trump won, that's the ticket, it was Russia!!! Soon Russia was being blamed for everything from Leftwingers like Jill Stein, Tulsi Gabbard and Bernie Sanders to Rightwingers like Salvini, Farage and Le Pen worldwide. Denial is a very powerful thing, it can lead people to unconscionable levels of delusion. They had a nugget of truth, Russia does meddle and spy, but so does Korea, China, Japan, Germany, India etc. But that didn't matter, in comes the new McCarthyism, Reds, Reds, Reds everywhere!!!! As they keep buying into their own garbage.

All the while, the American people after a decade of being coerced into this brainwashed state of hypersensitivity to any and all things vaguely racial and now sexual, with no sense of humor, or the ability to understand nuance, are now taking an old school, brash **** talking guy, who speaks with jokes, tough guy malarkey, idioms, one liners and non stop colloquialisms..... LITERALLY. So all these simple minded Liberals are sent careering into madness thinking the country has elected Literally Hitler, who's out to ruin the lives of all Americans and blow up the rest of the world. When the reality is, he's a ****ing moderate, who's key positions of those held by the Democratic Party a decade ago.

So all of this has set the course, for a crushing nation wide nervous breakdown, because everyone in the country has been conditioned for over a decade to buy into this PC freedom hating narrative, and more recently the Hitler narrative for Trump. So now that Trump is having a degree of success, the economy is back on track and roaring, ISIS has been wiped out, black and Latino unemployment is alt all time lows, jobs are roaring back, and now peace is possibly at hand between the US and North Korea.

Reality is clashing with the dream/nightmare like narrative the Left have made up in their minds. Leading to a full scale cognitive dissonance fueled mental/nervous breakdown. They can't make sense of anything at the moment, because they've gone so far off the deep end, don't think for themselves, have become slobbering brain dead idealogues who long ago ceased to resemble anything remotely human. Who don't understand anything on a logical level, like being forgiving of personal failings and foibles. The gears that run their machine brains have ground to a halt, they can't process reality anymore. They're literally rooting for Trump and the United States to fail and for there to be a nuclear war, so the Dems will look good and Trump will look bad. This is utter madness.

We're on the verge of a full scale nervous breakdown, hopefully a few voices of reason will step up, soothe everyone's psychotic souls, and bring us back from the brink. But sadly, the media and its devotees, aka 50% of the country, may be too far gone. But fingers crossed... maybe not, if Germany, China and Russia can be deprogrammed, there could be still hope for us yet.

Everyone needs to take a deep breathe and chill, but that's pretty hard to do, when they've been wired by the insidious media for outrage for over a decade. In the long run, Trump may be just what the doctor ordered.
