Another liberal wakes up

The New York Post publishes an article by former Democrat supporter Sasha Stone:

Joe Biden emerged from his speech this month “on the continued battle for the soul of our nation” like a squalling infant birthed from the loins of blue-check Twitter, bathed in the blood-red light of militant fascism.

He was finally their guy. Gone was the empathy guy. Gone was the unity guy. Gone was the moderate guy. Be mean, Joe. Get them, Joe. Get tough, Joe. Tell them their participation in democracy is a threat to … democracy!

Yes, tell them, Joe. Tell the “MAGA Republicans” they’re not welcome in their own country. Tell them their participation is a threat to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Tell them that democracy means they have to sit down and shut up.

Tell the truck driver who travels coast to coast, working the graveyard shift, to bring freshly cut meat to supermarket shelves. Tell the police officer, the waitress, the bartender, the cable guy, the grocery store clerk, the grandmother, the garage mechanic, the veteran who served in Afghanistan who now has been kicked out of the military for not taking the vaccine, the mother of two who now must home-school her children that they are the violent extremists posing the biggest threat to the country they call home.

Tell them, Joe, that you’ve decided to throw them away like human garbage and that you’re hoping for another Jan. 6 so you can arrest anyone who ever voted for or supported Donald Trump. Tell them that you and you alone ARE America, and any threat to your power is a threat to the State because that’s not fascism at all.

…

Surely the Democrats know what they’re doing, right? I mean, they’re asking for America’s vote to stay in power. Joe Biden wouldn’t lie to the people about something as serious as a threat to the Republic, right?

Wrong. Joe Biden did lie. The speechwriter lied. They would do anything, say anything, and put any community or even the country at risk just to stay in power and hold onto the past, the America under Barack Obama from 2008 to 2016.

In 2020, we saw them sacrifice the truth as they micromanaged the media narrative to deliver the correct headlines when they gaslighted hundreds of millions of us to cover up the truth about just how violent the protests had been over the summer. They undermined then-President Donald Trump on everything from COVID to the economy. They did this with impunity. They did this to stay in power. That is the very definition of corruption at nearly every level of our administrative state.

Maybe they do believe it. After all, the Biden administration gets its news from the same place mainstream media outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC and others do. They all drink from the same watering hole: Twitter.

Their feedback loop is all they know. They believe it’s the truth, rather than nonstop recycling of confirmation bias and agitprop flooding the zone.

I forced myself to disconnect from the media entirely to escape the bubble. I stopped reading my Twitter feed and started an alternative account that paid attention only to the right.

It took a conscious effort on my part to reprogram my brain to be able to see both sides clearly and fairly. Once I did that, I was horrified by what I saw on the left. The hypocrisy, the inhumanity. Worse than all, I could suddenly see what was true and what wasn’t true and how much the media and politicians lie daily. They tell themselves what they want to be true, not what is true.

At the same time, they were busy silencing dissent everywhere. If you challenge their narrative, you will be attacked on Twitter, fired from your job at any media outlet, or forced to apologize. You aren’t given any other option. They don’t want anyone to tell the truth ever. They want to shut it down.

Your Irascible Correspondent interrupts to draw your attention to the Marxist Mafia’s dependence on Twitter.  This is a space we need invade and disrupt their communications.  It is an influence tool that can easily be turned against them.

… [Democrats are] not even a political party anymore. They’ve become a religious movement fighting what they consider a religious war, a war of ideology.

The problem is that they are selling something most Americans don’t want.

They sound like missionaries pushing their newfound faith on the unsuspecting public. They have become so disconnected from average Americans that they thought [Biden’s September 1 “Soul of America” speech] was a good idea. In years past, there would be vicious op-eds or hilarious mocking bits on “SNL.” But no more. That’s how you know it’s a true religion. No jokes allowed.

We might not be able to purge this madness from our culture. But we most certainly can purge it from our government by voting. If the Democrats refuse to stand up to the “new puritans” brand of injustice, intolerance and ongoing hysteria, they must go.

Well, Sasha, good on you for waking up.  ‘Bout time.  Yes, these lunatics are trying to foist a new religion on America.  We need to get back to the old religion that served the Republic so well in olden times, and that will, without any violence or coercion, purge the madness from both politics and culture.

And yes, we need to get out and vote in person on Election Day, and sweep these totalitarians from power.
