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.

What you call the “GOPe” is actually the “GOP.” The Trump variant of the “GOP” to “GOPt.”
Your knee-jerk circle-the-wagons response doesn’t speak well of you. Did you hear some of his responses today? Won’t say whether illegally crossing the border is actually illegal. Can’t make up his mind about whether the force of law should be used to allow men to compete in women’s sports. Thinks that continued and ongoing attacks on federal buildings by Antifa/BLM along with burning down miles and miles of city blocks, destroying businesses and actually murdering people are no big deal when compared to a one-time event in the Capitol by unarmed protesters. Who were let in by the police and mostly milled around taking selfies.
Why do you love the oligarchy so much? Why? Do you see yourself as one of them? Are you hoping they will reward you?
You need a tutor.
You can call it “Loretta” for all I care. Just recognize that the GOPe is the reason we got Trump.
Here’s what I’m talking about Gary. Why are you praising this man:
As to that last bit, the Supreme Court disappointed yesterday. Bigly. So at this point, what does it matter? There’s one rule for the favored classes, and another one for you and me.
We don’t. You committed to actively working to get the guy giving us those things out of office. You wanted Biden and more government, higher taxes, and more regulation. Sadly the rest of us have to suffer for your folly.
The persistent intellectual inconsistency has been telling for quite some time now…i.e. troll.
ERCOT is going to give small government a bad name. ERCOT made a huge error, they put 23% of their generation capacity into wind without having a hot-ready replacement capacity. The wind generators got the fat federal subsidies for selling their wind power, without the capital investments of a back up power supply.
A larger government agency is not less prone to errors in judgement like this. The performance of the Federal Government is clear evidence of this.
I am not sure what the error is but I am sure the answer will be more government and more socialism.
Of course. Because they believe any failure of government and socialism is because there wasn’t ENOUGH government and socialism.
The error was not having generators set to back up the wind turbine power. As the freezing rain took down wind farms production there should have been some capability to replace the electricity.
You guys should pay the dollar and watch this interview. It’s exactly what this guy says and he’s smart as hell. Basically, if you let things reset so we can have capitalism and freedom, it will be so brutal that people will want communism. So we will go the other way and you’re going to get communism via MMT. I swear to god that is exactly what the guy is saying.

I hate starting posts, but I might start a post about that video.
Actually, what you call a “variant” is the majority of Republican voters. We’re done with the GOPe . . .
This is why Mitch is so upset about Jan 6th. Afraid he’ll end up as GOPe on a rope.
Be prepared for a steady stream of just that from those well versed in the practice:
A friend of mine can’t understand why I loathe David French. I should think it would be obvious. More evidence that all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about President Trump had nothing to do with “principles” no matter what these delusional jackwagons claimed.
