Much of the screaming about tyranny, Trump fascism, internment camps, etc., is also ego-driven. AOC in her selfies believes that she must be Trump’s numero uno target (No one cares about her psychodramas).
The barking Michael Cohen sounds like a disaffected Putin thug warning about Trump pushing people off buildings.
Rachel Maddow, apparently given her own sense of genius, beauty, and influence, believes she may be Gulaged. After all, what would the Trump opposition do without Rachel Maddow?
The madwomen of The View also vie to see who will be sent off first to the detention center.
Jane Fonda is screaming about her exile on January 20, as if she were back on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun.
Barbra Streisand is back again with promises, promises of leaving the country when Trump takes over.
Robert De Niro—who was able brilliantly to portray creepy Max Cady (Cape Fear), Travis Bickel (Taxi Driver), James Conway (Goodfellas), and Sam Rothman (Casino) simply by playing his own repugnant self—is still screaming about a Third-Reich America to come and reduced to shouting at MAGA supporters on the street.
I say all this projectionism is insane because:
- We have seen the mass hysteria before in 2016. Remember the election denialist Hollywood commercials begging the electors to violate their oath and as faithless electors flip to Hillary to save the country? Or recall Rosa Brooks’ Foreign Policy article in 2017 outlining how to get rid of a freshly elected, but supposedly fatally dangerous Trump by impeachment, 25th Amendment, or military coup.
- Trump has a record in 2017–2020 of not weaponizing the government, not locking Hillary up, not going after the corrupt Bidens, and not politicizing the military;
- The only ones who have sought to destroy democratic norms as we have known them are the projectionist Left. So, consider who has been involved with…
- Removing Trump from state ballots
- Using 5 federal, state, and local courts to bankrupt, jail, and destroy Trump
- The Russian collusion hoax
- The laptop disinformation farce
- The two first-term impeachments, the moment the Democrats gained the House
- The Senate trial of private citizen Trump
- The collusion of the FBI and social media
- The warping of the FISA court
- The packing of the January 6 committee
- The FBI lying about the authentic laptop
- Crying to pack the court
- Screaming about ending the filibuster
- Scheming to end the Electoral College
- Dreaming of making the Senate popularly elected like the House
- Wishing to bring in two more states with four more leftwing senators
