Trump is Gone. Who Will the Left Hate Now?
Trump is now a former President. Like other former POTUS, he no longer has power and will fade into history. Why it is that there are people whodo not understand that it was over after the election I do not understand. Now that Trump is all but gone, the Left will need somebody else to demonize as a focal point to cover for the Democrats’ ongoing destruction of all things American. Biden and his and the actual danger to the country will be ignored or puff-pieced out of existence.
Well, I have noticed recently on my news feeds serval contenders for the Left’s hatred of the Right; the first is white supremacist. I’m not sure where these guys are or how dangerous they are since I have not seen them in any sort of organized form in the last few decades. I have no doubt that the government will find a few people with improper thoughts in the backwater mountains somewhere so the FBI can kill their children and claim victory.
Outside of that, I am catching a whole bunch of stuff about QAnon. An unsolicited MSN newsletter that shows up in my mailbox keeps reporting about how bad and dangerous QAnon is and that it represents all GOP thought and membership. To prove this they do not report skewed statistics from the government but reliable stuff like Twitter posts and Reddit stories.
While QAnon stories are banned on Reddit, stories about by people that hate QAnon and view any non-progressive thought as a QAnon conspiracy are perfectly fine and perfect fodder for feeding what our society views as news. You can even check out a Reddit thread about how QAnon has laid waste to friends and familial relationships.
I wonder how long before the news media starts reporting on the hatred of Ricochet and its need to be banned.

Or, as we used to call it before George Bush dedicated it, the One World Order.
I want to make Trump President for Life just to watch you go into a Blue Screen of Doom. Have him exhume Reagan’s corpse and have Zombie Reagan be his VP for sparks and smoke to come out of your ears.
Please remember that the world was not perfect before Trump expressed his political ambitions, and if we all had your Emanuel Goldstein hate-on for Trump, the world would not be magically fixed.
I want to see what effect the governor’s stance on Trump has on his political future. The governor’s future that is. It will have no effect on Trump’s political future at all.
I hope he has a different job lined up.
Well, maybe I don’t. Let him be unemployed like so many others.
Indeed, if not for Trump, the world would have been Hillaryed.
Hahahahahahahah!!!! Busted!
(You can always win with a Python reference, no fair!)
The next GOP nominee for president
They hated Goldwater
They hated Reagan
They hated GHWB
They hated W
Hell, they even hated Romney
What will be interesting is when Trump is rehabilitated by the left
Garbage. QAnon is less of a threat than the Flat Earth Society.
You have it exactly. Three years ago, stories about Q were that it was either an FBI PsyOp or that it was a bunch of Redditors trying to punk Trump supporters. Only in the last year were we told that it was a serious threat. And only because the Deep State needed a distraction from the very serious threat of Antifa/BLM rampaging through our cities (and continuing to this day).
Surveys taken last October showed that Democrats apparently knew far more about QAnon than conservatives. I suspect that’s mostly because it was always discussed on Democrat News Channels. Which is to say News Channels. Conservatives wisely get their news from better sources.
Didn’t the New York Times endorse McCain in the 2008 primary and then unload an adultery smear when he won the Republican nomination?
Well that and a distraction from the very real Department of (in)Justice scandals, Spygate scandal, the Hunter Biden scandal, among others.
Have they not read “the boy who cried wolf”? Every republican candidate is the worst ever – until the next one. Its been 70 years, at some point these ad hominem attacks will loose their effectiveness.
If you could collect a bunch of data about this and create an article that would be great. tia
Remember this post. Qanon is going to be a legit national law enforcement problem.
Julie Kelly has been analyzing the cases they are holding without bail for the 1/6 riot. It sounds like a lot of people are being held without bail either because they are saying it’s terrorism or it’s simply because it was the capital. Some of them just literally walked in and out.
Cults seem to be a word the IN group to describe a group of people they do not like.
The Trump supporters are a cult. The freemasons are a cult. Most religions are a cult unless they hug up to Leftist morals. QAnon is a cult. The Proud Boys are a cult. AntiFa is not a cult. BLM is not a cult. NFAC is not a cult. Green environmentalists are not a cult. The Climate change folk are not a cult.
The Qanon thing is solved. It’s going nowhere thanks to new new “law enforcement” approaches.
My problem with QAnon from what I can tell of it is that what they describe most likely exists in some form. The stuff to stop it I have no faith in. The stuff Trump was doing to stop those things. I just do not see Trump having enough power to get that done.
It was reported once, in Heavy or Wired, I think, that Q-Anon was started as a joke and that it became so popular and such a click generator that the guys kept it going. Another story is that it was a CIA disinfo campaign (and it has been reported that the CIA does have AI computers that can instantly generate tens of thousands of new social media accounts and turn public sentiment). Another story is that Q-Anon is a government-connected whistle-blower type who was intellectually arming the right-wing resistance. Someone else proudly pronounced that Q-Anon was Ezra Cohen-Watnik.
All I know is that Q-Anon spoke in numerology and riddles, and vague prophecies that some even today say are still coming true. But who speaks in riddles with no real answers? Psyops, crazies and grifters, that’s who. If Q-Anon’s riddles had any meaning at all hidden within them, it’s not like the NSA cannot break the code and unravel the meanings in real time. And he/she/it/they were of no concern or consequence until the Left started talking about it. And so it has pretty-well proven to be in the end.
But now he’s public enemy number one.
The Biden administration obviously wants to focus on things like militias, white supremacy, etc. because they don’t want to focus on the stuff that worry progressives like organized immigrant crime, drug cartels, human trafficking cartels (seriously Biden just gave all those guys a ton of money, and think of all of the human suffering that is going to come out of this. The coyotes are going to be paid) Muslim terrorists etc.
That article Gary posted is probably just coordinated propaganda.
When you look at Alex Jones, the stupid ruling class basically just ends up cooperating with his predictions just enough to make him look smart. Probably that is happening with Q. I have no idea if it’s going to turn into a Heaven’s Gate cult like Gary’s article is predicting.
Except people keep being born and dying, so they always have at least a partly new audience.
Well, I have heard a number of places beginning to decline the race card, although the left has opened up a new account – some of the balance transferred.
Is that the same Garland that was killed by Cocaine Mitch or is it a different Garland?
I heard rumblings of Q-Anon over the years but never knew what it was. The first I really learned about it was from the Skeptoid podcast. It doesn’t mention it being a joke, but does say that it started as part of a collection of Anon accounts, “These posters included ‘FBI Anon’ who assured Trump supporters that Clinton would be arrested as soon as Trump was elected, and others with names such as ‘CIA Anon’, ‘WH Insider Anon’, and ‘High Level Insider Anon’.” For whatever reason, Q stuck while the others faded.
No, actually they are becoming more effective. Our education system is teaching that GOP is the source of evil and Democrats the source of all good. Years ago when Obama was running a couple of friends of mine had their children in Catholic school. The kids got extra credit for working on the Obama campaign. One family objected and wanted their child to do extra credit work for a GOP campaign. They were told the option was not available. Their child was flunked and if I was told correctly they had to leave the school. That is our culture. This is where our new culture is coming from. Our culture is no longer about facts or truth. It is all about the feels. They have been taught that GOP feels bad and all that support it feels bad so it needs to go. It may be that the GOP will need to die so something else that does not feels bad can take its place.
This is going to be a thing. If you are not a Leftist and protest you are going to jail and you are going to get maximum legal ramifications. Before this is over I look for people posting conservative thought on the web to be seeing jail time.
I don’t think that that will ever happen.
The line/spin will be “Trump was terrible, but at least he ____________, unlike the current office holder.”
You heard it here first.
The left typically ends up praising dead conservatives. It’s the live ones they really hate.
Trump will be one of the greatest once the breathe has left his body. To Democrats the best Republican is a dead Republican
I think Trump might be the exception to this. They’ve gone further to vilify him than any other republican ever – without making much of a dent. I think he’ll continue to live on their heads long after he’s no longer living.
