Skewing Reality


Whenever we get a win, be it the BBB, praise from NATO, or a negotiated peace or trade deal, my enthusiasm is always tempered by the vitriol spewed on the internet by the radical left. HuffPo and Instagram are havens for the disgruntled progressives who wallow in amplifying misinformation and downright lies. For example, he presented the trophy to the winners of the Club World Cup in New York at MetLife Stadium. Instagram and HuffPo reported with glee that the crowd loudly booed him. Hmm. Now I’m sure a soccer match had in attendance a fair number of foreigners with a less than favorable view of Trump’s immigration policies. And being in the greater New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, drawing from the local population, the crowd was likely skewed to the left. But multiple sources claimed that although there were indeed some boos, the majority of the crowd stood and applauded. And why not? This country is divided close to evenly, so wouldn’t you expect half the crowd to support Trump while the other half looks upon him with disdain?  But not based on the headlines from the radical left. The comments were similarly scathing, heckling Trump for his appearance, his reception, and for just being there. Unpleasant, mean-spirited, and childish. The occasional comment by a Trump supporter reporting that they witnessed quite the opposite was met with insults ranging from MAGA name-calling to the tired old “Trump is a convicted felon” destroying our democracy nonsense. TDS on full display. You can imagine their spittle all over their computer monitors.  The radical left has become completely unhinged, so much so that even the repulsively arrogant Mark Cuban suggested that a platform of “Trump sucks” all the time is not a winning strategy.

Even the leftist deity Obama suggested that democrats need to reassess their tactics to win over independent voters and especially young men. Incessant attacks and fear mongering with misleading and sometimes outright lies such as rural hospitals will close and Medicaid will be cut for our most vulnerable citizens, children crying in the California farmer’s fields as their hard working parents are rounded up by ICE, to the old standby attacks that Trump is not respected on the world stage and is a threat to our democracy are all counterproductive click candy for the low information voter. And if there is a success by this administration, simply stop talking about it. Border security, anyone? Feed them what they want to hear and keep them polarized. We remain a divided nation with a staunchly leftist mainstream media fueling the fires of misinformation. What will it take to unify a nation where the coastal elites are skewing socialist, a Ugandan-born communist is leading our largest city’s race for mayor, and Minneapolis, already having produced the radical leftist congresswoman Omar, is seeking to compete with New York by installing a Somali-born socialist to run their city. 

Indeed. We have lost our collective minds.
