The Democrat Freakshow Freakout is All About Desperation

[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]

I guess the Bard must be MAGA because he sure knew how to assess the left’s current hysterical media meltdown: “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Everywhere you look, it’s over-the-top hyperbole from every Dem legislator.

Dem pundit, and Dem mutant, with lots of high-pitched squealing about fascism and racism and how Trump is trying to be a king and how he is a Nazi and blah blah blah blah blah. Obviously, it’s all nonsense. Obviously, it’s all coordinated. Obviously, the memo went out that the social media interns need to turn it up to 11, and the cable commies need to pump up the volume as well. But here’s a question, and it’s an important one.

Does it even matter?

Is anybody listening to these people? Certainly, they’re all over my timeline, promiscuously promising an authoritarian apocalypse while Trump continues to deliver what he promised. If you remember correctly, DJT promised, for example, that he was going to deport illegal aliens, and, lo and behold, he’s actually doing it. Maybe the fact that he’s keeping his word is what really offends the politicians, not the substance of that keeping. He also promised that he was going to seek righteous retribution against the people who wronged him through lawfare, as that looming doofus found out –Comey has got to be so happy that the feds don’t release booking photos because there’s no way he would’ve looked as iconic as Trump did glaring back at the bastards who tried to put him in jail for the rest of his life, and, failing that, gave the green light to their acolytes to try to murder him.

It goes without saying that their claims are substantively nonsensical and hypocritical, and, in fact, it’s kind of uncool to dwell on that. I mean that it hurts our dignity to be focused on pointing out all the ways in which Trump is not literally Hitler, or complaining about the Democrats’ refusal to admit the link between their unrelenting campaign of legal slash and burn against Donald Trump and those associated with America First and their current karma overload. Instead of crying about the injustice of it all, we should focus on bringing justice, the unlubed payback they are just beginning to feel, and will certainly feel a lot more in the future – what will happen next is not going to be ribbed for their pleasure.

We all know the score, and we’re beyond arguing that Dems are deceitful or hypocritical. We’re into the territory of just kicking their butts. But normal people still need to hear it. Normals have actual lives that usually don’t include politics, so we must continue to highlight pinko hypocrisy and supply the missing facts for normals who might not know all the details of exactly why the Democrats are full of it. Let’s just not pretend we’re scandalized and shocked because if, after over a decade of this, you’re still scandalized in shocked instead of coldly furious and dedicated to defeating them, you are weak and soft and belong not in the front ranks with the warriors but in the rear with the camp followers. If so, you do have a function, but it’s not being part of the fight. Your function is more like washing the figurative blood off our tunics.

But do the normals fall prey to the rhetorical spasms of our enemies? Is the Dem plan of attack, which seems to be screaming at the top of their lungs about everything all the time, an effective strategy? There’s no real polling on that point, but Trump’s polls at this juncture seem pretty good compared to comparable presidents, to the extent there have ever been any. Anecdotes are evidence only of anecdotes, but that’s all we really have at the moment. What do the normals in your world say? I have yet to encounter anybody who looked at me with a straight face and said, “Well, Trump’s clearly trying to be a king.”

Nor do I encounter normal people getting upset over the designated outrage du jour. These outrages don’t seem so outrageous, and they just don’t hit the way the Dems hope. Recently, some woman put her hands on an ICE agent and he knocked her on her Schumer; Dems expected normals to be scandalized, but normals know that if you start putting hands on people, they’re going to put hands on you. Wizened wine woman Mikie Sherrill, who is running for governor of New Jersey and always reminds me of Billy Jack’s girlfriend who teaches at the Rainbow School, was recently fulminating about how the federal government released her previously hidden military records, which revealed an honor violation at the Naval Academy. There was a lot of teenage girl screaming, “I can’t believe you came into my room and read my diary!” energy. And normal people had to wonder why Jake Tapper, who is what Brian Stelter would be if Brian Stelter weren’t a potato, was claiming that Jimmy Kimmel getting a paid week off was the greatest assault on free speech in the history of ever just a couple of weeks after one of his ideological fellow travelers murdered Charlie Kirk for talking. And, of course, there is the aforementioned Comey, who not only sent Martha Stewart up the river for the same crime he’s been indicted for, but got all sanctimonious about it. Normal people like Martha Stewart. They don’t like goofy nerds inclined to brag about taking her scalp.

It’s just so pathetic. They’ve got nothing else. They don’t have the White House. They don’t have Congress. They don’t have SCOTUS. They don’t have a media monopoly. Worst of all, they don’t even have the extra-constitutional fourth branch of government, the deep state, the way they used to because Trump 2.0 knows exactly what time it is and has ruthlessly sought to gut it. Every time you see the regime media highlighting some GS-11 who quit because Orange Man Bad, celebrate. That’s one less loser inside the tent, and nobody cares that a bunch of other losers clapped their flippers together as he walked out of the tent and into the scary world of the private sector. All of this reeks of desperation. All of this is the best they can come up with as they face total defeat. And if you really want to be cruel, and you should want to be cruel, remind them that they’ve got at least three-and-a-half more years of this agony ahead.

It’s also so tiresome. Their plan is to put the pedal to the metal, but that means very different things when you’re driving a Yugo as opposed to driving a Ferrari. They are driving a crappy Schiffbox from behind the Iron Curtain held together with duct tape and spit, covered in bumper stickers that say things like, “Defund The Police,” “Some Women Have A Penis,” and “Take That, Jews Zionists.” They howl and bay about how Trump is the worst thing ever was, and yet the freakshow factions that make up their base force them to offer an unappealing alternative. What they offer is a bunch of Third World predators imported to take our jobs and rape our women, for which they won’t be prosecuted, and whom we get to subsidize with our taxes.

Obviously, they don’t want to dwell on that, so it’s fascist, fascist, fascist 24/7. I’m not sure if they intended to make “fascism” look good, but they seem to be having a “Starship Troopers” problem because the things they expect us to be repelled by— in this case, closed borders, foreign enemies too scared to get into another war with us, an economy that favors American workers, and the removal from power of bureaucrats and sexually unsatisfied white women who hate our guts— seem pretty awesome.

Remember, none of what they’re doing now, with their kicking and screaming like a 10-year-old brat with a gentle parenting mom lying on her back having a tantrum in a Kroger’s, is what winners do. Winners win. Losers whine.
