When Tucker Carlson predicted nearly a year ago that we were heading towards a likely assassination attempt on former and current presidential candidate Donald Trump, most, if not all, mainstream media outlets dismissed it as another right-wing conspiracy theory. They claimed that white supremacy and “right-wing” fascism are the real threats to American democracy (though the United States is, in fact, a Constitutional Republic). Those of us who are even slightly observant recognize that white supremacy is broadly unpopular and hardly a threat to our nation’s government. Nevertheless, despite the apparent truth, these paid propagandists continue to dangle those shiny keys, keeping their audience dumbfoundedly distracted. The reality is that we were indeed approaching an assassination attempt, and anyone paying attention knows that this has come to pass.
But why…
The answer lies in two possibilities. The first is that these media figures are ignorant, self-involved fools who simply lack the intelligence to understand the situation (as exemplified by Chris Cuomo). The second possibility is far more insidious: they are fully aware of their actions and are intentionally perpetuating the status quo of open borders, endless foreign wars, mass inflation, and the many other failures of the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration. Their tactics of subversive language and gaslighting suggest a deliberate and malevolent intent. Distinguishing between those who are merely useful idiots and those who actively craft these twisted narratives of their own volition is challenging. However, by verifying information from trusted, independent sources and disregarding obvious propagandists (the Stelters, Tappers, and Maddows of the world), one can still find journalists who are committed to honest, on-the-ground reporting.
The rhetoric
Back in 2016, The Washington Post, a publication notorious for its left-leaning bias, without a shred of awareness, changed its tagline to “democracy dies in darkness.” That’s rich; they must be having trouble keeping the lights on over there at WaPo given their financial struggles, including a $77 million loss last year and a significant decline in subscribers, as reported by CNN. The timing of this coincided with Trump’s 2016 electoral victory and part of the media’s combined tantrum over the loss of their candidate, Hillary Clinton. This is when their mission began to cause as much damage and division during Trump’s term, flagrantly disregarding what was best for the Americans they’re supposed to be protecting. In December of 2023, Mike Godwin’s opinion piece, titled “Yes, it’s ok to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you,” is yet another prime example of their over-the-top delusional hatred and obvious manipulation. Those of us discerning enough who wouldn’t even use The Washington Post as toilet paper recognize the overt absurdity of such a comparison. However, the few who subscribe to this publication may be influenced by its outrageous and biased content, leading to the creation of dangerous and unpredictable ideologues. The catastrophic failure that led to the loss of husband, father of two, and retired firefighter Corey Comperatore, who during the now infamous July 13th assassination attempt, tragically, was sacrificed by our current spiteful, malevolent media, is a direct result of their hateful rhetoric. He died a hero, shielding his family from gunfire and yelling for his countrymen to get down.
The Washington Post is not alone in this evil and deceptive practice. ABC News published an article by Jonathan Karl titled “Donald Trump’s history with Adolf Hitler and his Nazi writings.” The article insinuates that Trump, by using the phrase “poisoning the blood of the country” in reference to the failures at the southern border, is quoting Hitler and espousing bigotry. Although not explicitly stated by Mr. Karl, the implication is clear: Trump is Hitler incarnate, and if you vote for him, you’re no better than a Nazi. Now, don’t let me stop you, but that’s not the way to change hearts and minds. However, it is a great way to make everyone in your echo chamber that you’re pandering to literally lose their minds, as seen daily on X, formerly known as Twitter, and other social media platforms.
These are not isolated incidents. These Democrat-funded “journalists” strive to convince their audience that a vote for Trump is a vote for fascism and bigotry. Ironically, it is the Democratic Party that routinely exhibits fascistic tendencies, advocating for censorship, gun control, lockdowns, and vaccine mandates. If you blindly follow the mantra of “votebluenomatterwho,” you cannot in good faith claim to be educated on the issues. Instead, do your own research and vote for what and who you genuinely believe in, not what the media tells you to believe.
