From the very first day Joe Biden “took office,” there was a theme you could spot from a mile away: the Left doesn’t trust the American people. The now-infamous AutoPen moment—when Biden supposedly signed something important but never touched the pen—wasn’t just a glitch in optics. It was emblematic of a presidency constructed to appear functional, not be functional. It was a government more interested in control than connection. And it foreshadowed something far more dangerous.

We now know—without conjecture or spin—that the so-called “Russia collusion” narrative of 2016 was a top-down, White House-engineered fabrication. Not a misunderstanding. Not a misfire. A deliberate operation to undermine the legitimacy of a duly elected president and suppress the will of over 62 million Americans who voted for him.

We know this because declassified documents tell us the story plainly. In September and December of 2016, intelligence analysts across multiple agencies—yes, the same agencies Democrats insist are beyond reproach—found no evidence that Russia had tampered with vote tallies or changed the election outcome in any meaningful way. That should have been the end of it.

But instead, Barack Obama held a meeting on December 9, 2016, with a roster straight out of a political thriller: Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Rice—all present. From that meeting came the marching orders to produce a new intelligence assessment. Not based on new facts, not based on new evidence. But based on a narrative that Donald Trump’s presidency was illegitimate, courtesy of Vladimir Putin.

It’s no coincidence that this new assessment—crafted in early 2017—contradicted the prior reports. They manufactured “high confidence” claims that Russia interfered with the specific intent of helping Trump win. Never mind that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC had funded the now-debunked Steele dossier. Never mind that the FISA court had been misled. Never mind that those pushing this storyline already knew it wasn’t true. This wasn’t intelligence. This was insurrection by suit and tie.

Current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has now said it out loud. She’s called it what it is: a “treasonous conspiracy.” Her words. And she hasn’t just said it—she’s referred the matter to the Department of Justice for further investigation. Whether the DOJ will act is another matter entirely. But what used to be whispered as a conspiracy theory is now supported by declassified documents and public evidence.

This isn’t about re-litigating 2016. This is about exposing the rot that exists when one political class believes it has the divine right to override the will of the American people. The Left will go to staggering lengths to preserve power—even if it means weaponizing the very institutions they once told us were beyond politics.

They distrust the people because the people, given truth and a choice, don’t pick them. So, they script. They edit. They automate. They create illusions—like the AutoPen presidency. They don’t debate dissenters. They delete them. They don’t defend policies. They deflect with prosecutions, raids, and media mouthpieces. They build narratives first, then retroactively demand that the facts support them.

This is not democracy. It’s not a republic. It’s ruled by the ruling class.

The American people are not to be governed by narrative managers. They’re not to be spoon-fed propaganda and told it’s breakfast. They’re not to be gaslit into believing that asking questions is unpatriotic. The Left does not trust the American people with power because they fear what we’ll do with it: fire them.

We’ve reached a point where the intelligence community, the media, and parts of our justice system are no longer neutral actors. They’ve been ideologically compromised. And if we let this go unanswered, we set the precedent that future elections can be gamed in the same way—through manufactured stories, friendly spies, and tech-platform censorship.

This isn't about Trump anymore. It's about trust. And the American people’s trust in their institutions is being shattered—on purpose.

We deserve better than this rotted system. We deserve leaders who tell the truth, even when it costs them. We deserve transparency, not top-secret intelligence manipulated for political revenge. We deserve to be represented, not ruled.

And we definitely deserve more than a president who needed an AutoPen to pretend he was in charge.
