Because I write a lot about media bias, I've been wandering around in the Democrats' Bizarro World for a couple of decades now. It's always been a very strange place. Now, however, when I read the Opinion sections of The New York Times and The Washington Post it's like I've been teleported into someone's psychotic break.
Seriously, I wouldn't leave a pet goldfish unattended around these people.
If the once politically capable Democratic Party is actually formulating a plan for the 2026 midterm elections, it's certainly not at all based on what happened in last year's presidential election or anything that's happening here on planet Earth.
While watching President Trump's speech on Tuesday night I was not only cheering, but trying to figure out how the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media were going to attempt to tear it apart. Reality never plays into their responses to anything Trump does, so it's really wide open when trying to assess their next move.
In Wednesday's New York Times Opinion section, there was a virtual roundtable discussion among some of its prominent writers. This was the quote that the editors decided to pull part of for the headline:
It was 90-plus minutes of bad moments — a typical Trump medley of fabrications, provocations and insults. But the worst part was the perversity of Trump performing a democratic ritual even as he breaks this nation’s laws and destroys its institutions.
The first line was what made it to the headline. That paragraph alone was enough to cancel out anything that any of the other writers may have gotten right. It's absolutely insane to posit that the president is running around being a scofflaw in the execution of his duties. I mean, seriously mentally unwell.
The bit about destroying institutions is classic projection from Dem apologists — that's precisely what they spent the last four years doing.
Here's a quote from another writer that is another cry for help:
Trump has become a master of drawing battle lines that put Democrats at a disadvantage, which he did here by weaving guests’ stories of suffering and injustice into his calls for border controls, stronger policing and children’s safety. As controversial as his policies may sound at first, he turns them into common sense.
He doesn't turn them into common sense, they are common sense. Trump didn't "put the Democrats at a disadvantage" by inviting people who lost loved ones because of the Democrats' demonic obsession with letting anyone into the country in an effort to turn them into overnight voters. The Democrats put themselves at a disadvantage.
Once again, the Dems and their pet propagandists are seemingly hell bent on proving that they're out of touch with reality. Matt writes that a post-speech poll by CNN showed that a majority of viewers liked the speech, and Scott has some numbers from a CBS poll that destroy the "90-plus minutes of bad moments" thought barf.
Poll after poll shows that people like what Trump is doing. The Dems are telling the people that Trump is on a presidential crime spree. It's tough for Dems to claim a deep, abiding love for America when they keep telling the American people that they're idiots and everything that they want for the country is wrong.
The Democrats don't love the United States of America that's in this reality; they love the commie police state that's in their dream reality.
