Is This the Age of Pretend?

Do the Democrats,Progressives, Marxist/Socialists really think that most of the citizens are stupid and naive?

• We are told to pretend that we are witnessing a “peaceful protest” when in the background of the reporter reporting on video a business is being torched and burned to the ground;
• We are told to pretend that the biggest threat to the United States is not Communist China, Russia , or Iran, but man-made global climate change (President Biden actually said that);
• We are told to pretend that the Keystone Pipeline is a threat to our environment along with carbon fuels, but transporting oil by truck and rail is a far safer way to transport oil and gas in spite of dangerous spills as a result of accidents that might and have occurred;
• We are told to pretend that the invasion of illegal aliens coming across our southern border is not a crisis but just a “challenge” and not a problem;
• We are told to pretend that raising the minimum wage by government decree will not cause low-skilled workers to be unemployed as a result;
• We are told to pretend that spending trillions of dollars for infrastructure in a bill that spends just 10% on real infrastructure and the rest on climate change, is a necessary expenditure.

Do the liberals (a/k/a Democrats, Progressives, Marxist/Socialists) really think that most of the citizens are stupid and naive? The answer is yes they do. Just ask the Democrat voters of New York City, who just nominated an admitted Socialist/Communist /Anti-Semite, Zohran Mamdani, as their mayoral candidate. If elected, he will drive the city into ruin with the policies he has espoused.

In this topsy-turvy world we live in, you must wonder how people in authority can be so wrong on practically everything that is political. A good example of that is during the four years of President Trump's 1st term in office and now in his 2^nd term in office, no matter what he says or does, the knee-jerk reaction of the Democrats and the news media was that it must be bad, even if it was good for the country. They want us to pretend that President Trump is evil and shouldn't be listened to, that he is a dictator and a threat to our democracy. 

Democrats and the news media want us to pretend that whatever Biden and his administration had done was peachy-keen and good for the country

Now that we had President Biden in office for 4 years, the Democrats and the news media want us to pretend that whatever Biden and his administration had done was peachy-keen and good for the country.

No mention is made of the various crises that had come about at the southern border, the unrest in the Middle East, the pull out from Afghanistan, the lack of many children not attending in-person schooling during the pandemic, and no real condemnation of the wild accusations by the Squad (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Jasmine Crockett, and Ayanna Pressley along with admitted Socialist Bernie Sanders) claiming that our democratic republic is a “systemic racist country”. They wanted us to pretend that everything Biden did was the way to go and was good for America, but now since Biden is no longer in office, the knives are out by former apologists for Biden to question what Biden did or didn't do, and to question his cognitive acuity while in office. The Democrats are in disarray and leaderless.

How much longer can we pretend that everything done by the Democrats is good for the country and that everything done by the Republicans is bad for the country? Shouldn't common sense raise it's head and take hold of the silliness of the pretend world the anarchists want us to believe in? If we continue on this path of pretend we will become the antithesis of what our Founding Fathers gave us, “a democratic republic if we can keep it” (a quote by Benjamin Franklin).

Pretending is O.K. for young children, but we must advance in the realm of reality of being adults and see and say what is true, and not pretend that nonsense is the real thing. President Trump ran on a platform of common sense, and what he campaigned on he is doing, much to the chagrin of the Democrats, promises made and promises being kept, and his poll number seem to show the majority of people are supporting him and his policies. So no amount of fear mongering by the Democrats and their shills in the media will matter as Trump's policies succeed in “Making America Great Again”.
