Alternate Realities and Those Who Inhabit Them

Democratic house organs, AKA mainstream media outlets, would have us believe Trump supporters are trapped in an alternate reality, completely removed from the truth.

They make these accusations on their many platforms, with their distortions of truth falling on the willing ears of their many sheep.

This is nothing new. Adolf Hitler wrote of The Big Lie in his book Mein Kampf and the concept was put into widespread practice by Nazi propaganda man Joseph Goebbels. He distilled it into “lie big and stick to it.”

For liberals now to accuse conservatives of ignoring reality is to practice classic psychological projection, a defense mechanism in which opponents are charged with suffering the very same shortcomings of the individual or group who are attempting to defend their position.

Having control of public school systems, most institutions of higher learning, the majority of mass media and the bulk of governmental bureaucracy makes maintaining the big lie possible.

You will find Democratic check marks for all of the above categories.

To accept the Democratic assessment of our current situation, you must be prepared to believe a lot of mis-truths.

Those mis-truths are, in no particular order:

  • There were no voting irregularities in this 2020 election. To believe this you must dismiss thousands of uncounted votes showing up on separate occasions in Georgia, affidavits from workers alleging various bastardizations of the counting process in states including Michigan and Pennsylvania, and documented errors in states such as Nevada that is being ignored because it has not been proved to be significant in the outcome. This prompted one attorney to ask a judge “how much fraud it too much, your honor?” You also must ignore probability and statistical analysis from experts that the presidential vote totals are extremely unlikely to have been accurate and free from manipulation.
  • That Trump’s balking at transferring power to Joe Biden is historic. That neatly ignores Biden, then the vice president, and outgoing president Barack Obama, enabling spying on the Trump campaign and transition team using federal intelligence agencies, obtaining FISA surveillance warrants based on false information, and using as a touchstone of all this a discredited Russian dossier on Trump.
  • While on a much smaller scale, we are required to forget that the General Accounting Office found about $14,000 in damages to the White House was caused by Clintonistas showing infantile disdain for incoming president George W. Bush. This included stealing the letter W from keyboards, scrawling graffiti on walls and swiping a presidential seal. Feel free to call up the account of this in the June 12, 2002, New York Times, before it is purged from history by Goebbels-like Democratic operatives.
  • In a complete flip-flop, Democrats attribute all the revelations regarding Hunter Biden and his cloudy business dealings, an apparent utilization of the family name for financial gain, to Russian disinformation. In the case of harassing a sitting president, Trump, Russian disinformation, even if it did come from the Clinton campaign, was the gold standard for veracity. But now a man’s personal laptop, rife with unsavory information, can be nothing other than Russian disinformation and therefore worthless
  • That Democrats were bemoaning pre-election the ease with which electronic voting machines manufactured by Dominion and others could be hacked and generally were suspect. Now that those machines have spit out a favorable result to the Democrats, they are above reproach.
  • That Trump and his supporters wanting a fair and accurate count of legal votes is putting the entire system in jeopardy. Since when is the pursuit of truth an ill? But that is what we must believe to accept the Democratic “reality.”
  • That the streets would be filled with violent demonstration should unhappy Trump supporters have to deal with an election loss. Quite the contrary, all those boarded up stores and offices were unnecessary because, for now, Biden and his coalition of left-wing, socialist or anarchist demonstrators got the outcome they desired. Keep those boards handy, though, should this election rise to the Supreme Court level to sort out the voting chicanery and those Justices deliver a ruling in favor of Trump.
