The leftist reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision overruling Colorado’s effort to remove Donald Trump from the ballot was illuminating because it reveals how leftists lie to their base. This matters because the left has a hold on public discourse. (For more on rule and the leftist meltdown, go here and here.)
If a political party cannot deliver on promises, lying to its base is mandatory to keep power. Using the litany of those “91 indictments,” “classified documents,” and “Fulton County RICO,” the left keeps promising its myrmidons that “we got him this time!” But just like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football, the left’s loyal followers find themselves flat on their backs, deeply disappointed every time.
Leftists are masters at endlessly repeating conclusions that advance their positions, even when facts belie those conclusions. These are now-mainstream examples:
Note: All these memes are taught to our children in our K-16 educational system. All are grounded in Marxism.
As noted above, one of the biggest Big Lies, from Pelosi to Schumer to the press, is how Democrats constantly promote the term “insurrection” when talking about January 6, so their (small ‘m’) myrmidons are convinced that J6 was an insurrection. The problem is that even they cannot force facts to support that lie.
Most significantly, Leftist prosecutors have not charged a single person with insurrection, including Donald Trump. Our government prosecutors do not use the word “insurrection,” and it does not appear anywhere on the US Attorney’s Office official January 6 web site. All charges, convictions or pleadings have been for non-insurrection misdemeanors and felonies.
ABC News lists the crimes and charges and goes into a deflective word salad about the crimes of January 6. But nowhere on their page can you find the word “insurrection”—except in the photograph’s caption, where truth is not always a value.
If you google “How many people charged for insurrection for January 6,” the results are very misleading. Instead of answering “none,” you get a laundry list of how many people were arrested, convicted, or pled guilty to the charges against them, but you won’t find the word “insurrection” for any of these cases. Reading Wikipedia returns the same deception. It uses “insurrection” 15 times, yet each usage is a misdirection—speaking of the day as “the insurrection” but never making a legal charge of such.
Still, the problem with lies is that reality eventually catches up. People can only handle so much cognitive dissonance—that is, trying to hold mutually exclusive thoughts simultaneously—especially when one of those thoughts keeps getting a beatdown from reality. Here are just a few examples of leftist policies in retreat:
We may be witnessing the initially slow but accelerating rate of collapse of the power the leftist mind holds in our society. Now is the time to keep the pressure on and end it once and for all.
