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.

Especially when they realize that Trump didn’t do the horrible things that they claimed he did or would do, that he wasn’t an authoritarian.
They will never admit that. It would reveal all the gaslighting of the last four years.
It will be like the current image of Saint Ronald as a cheerful, avuncular, not-to-bright guy who got along with everyone, and that is just arrant nonsense.
They’ll never realize that. They’ll build a heroic narrative of how they thwarted his will in congress and secretly worked with treacherous republicans in the senate.
Well put. We have seen the fiery, deadly consequences of such labeling and vilification, thanks to the FBI’s readiness to murder Americans who are successfully “othered.”

Garland’s responses today were really troubling.
Man, that guy has to be pretty selective about what he does for a living. He’s not like some guy with normal broad lawyer talent.
Like this?
I know it’s a Trump thread, but

Man, if Garland gets confirmed, that’s pretty bad.
Why does he not say what he means. If it is done by Democrat allied forces or friendly forces it is not a crime if it is done by forces that hate the Right / GOP it is acceptable.
What Kristol is saying, basically, is “shouldn’t we establishment creatures of the swamp from both parties join together in support of this corporatist oligarchy we love so much?”
The answer, Bill, is that you already have. You already have.
Which is why conservatives need to join with actual liberals to defeat them.
This is the divide. Ruling class vs. Citizen Class.
Dead people are much easier to rehabilitate.
Could you imagine, if he had made it onto the supreme court?
He was supposed to the moderate compromise candidate… Who where the extremists?
I’ve been saying this is a John Gill presidency, but no one seems to know what I’m talking about. Until now…
This reminds me of me talking about someone else. lol
Talk about policy or handling the media or something. Almost any of the rest of it is a waste of time.
And it’s possible that most of the nonsense he’s been spouting in his AG hearing, would not have come out for a SCOTUS appointment. He probably would have been just all “I can’t comment on that…”
Establishment Republicans are globalist progressives. They give the left most of what they want, they just play for the opposing team. I don’t think the left will rehabilitate Trump. He was unique.
He went to Harvard Law, clerked for a Supreme Court Justice, did civil work, helped prosecute the Unibomber and Oklahoma City bombers, and served as the Chief Judge of the DC Circuit. That’s a pretty doggone broad experience base. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Only as long as they get value out of hating him.
I don’t think they even really hate him right now, any more than they really believe in Global Warming, or Transgenderism, or concern for illegal immigrants, or anything else. It’s just an apprehension of what is currently exploitable, what they can use to churn resentment and set their enemies against each other.
This has certainly worked on poor Gary – they so totally have his number. It’s kind of painful to watch.
I find this confusing. With the exception of his death or him becoming catatonic how does Biden get to no longer be an acceptable method of change? Why does it make the Republican chances in 2022 look better?
When have I ever shown an affinity towards transgenderism? When have I ever shown an affinity to a “top down” solution to Global Warming? How about my Main Feed Post on illegal immigration where I assert that anyone who comes here illegally as an adult should never be given citizenship, ever, even if they are able to stay, and arguing against chain migration and family reunification instead of immigration based upon our needs as a county? https://ricochet.com/490488/archives/a-modest-immigration-proposal-2/
To quote Ben Sasse, I just question this weird fixation on just one guy. I am about conservatism, not Trumpism, the policy that whatever springs forth from Trump’s furrowed brow must be followed as received wisdom.
You have misread the comment. I have bolded that part that I believe is meant to apply to you.
I hope that we have in common our commitment to smaller government, lower taxes, less regulations (albeit not at the Texas ERCOT level of regulations), and so forth. We just disagree about one guy as Sasse calls him. I also hope that we share an affinity to the three great figures of conservatism in the 20th Century, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Calvin Coolidge.
I wasn’t being clear because I don’t really know much about it. What I mean is, he is a terrible public speaker. Just awful rhetorical ability. I suppose that doesn’t matter when you are a judge. You never see a lawyer be that weak on TV.I would think that would be a big impediment in a lot of law positions.
And I keep telling you, you don’t have the current situation evaluated properly at all.
Your fixation on Reagan matches others’ fixations on Trump. Too bad you can’t see that.
You also can’t seem to grasp that a great number of people felt that Trump spoke to and cared about them in a way the GOPe didn’t. The GOPe has since confirmed their feelings.
