Ever notice that there is always a boogeyman or a crisis or a controversy?

And that every election is The Most Important Election Ever?

How much of what you believe was taught to you, without you requesting it?

Maybe you, me, and everyone are being played.

The left media does not have a monopoly on manipulation.


But for those looking for some objective, more neutral content, Glenn Greenwald is now on Rumble:

Boogeymen for mainstream voters: Trump/MAGA.

Boogeymen for MAGA: mail-in ballots, Dominion, the "fix."

The weaponization of the DOJ is somewhat startling to me. I realize it has been done in a clandestine manner in the past, but now it is happening out in the open and unapologetically. And the left cheers it. That is eye opening.

The left has shifted so far left they can’t even see the middle anymore. Of course they think we are the radicals. They would think Kennedy was a MAGA terrorist. It’s insane.

Fear is a great motivator. Remember what Rham Emanuel said during the Obama presidency….. “never let a crisis go to waste”. It appears the democrats have decided that everything is a crisis since then

It's not working on me. Never has When I heard 'This is the most important election every' I thought 'Uh, No, it's not.' And that started when I was about 10 y .o.

This is a much bigger deal than the other "side" about to destroy your way of life. Polarity is manufactured so that those manufacturing it (on both sides) can try to seize power.

Well, under normal western standards of logic, this idea of parity between the political divide and their propensities for one-sided vision would be a correct way to look at it. Albeit, the left will always be more empathic, emotional, and creative than the right, which will always be more logical, stoic, and cautious.

However, the woke left are neo-communists, whether the realize it and accept that label or not. They have abandoned the notion of objective truth and instead see history as simply a power struggle between groups. They follow a utopian religion that thinks that with ultimate power, they can ignore reality and make man into the image of their own making, which is actually as dystopian as can be.

In order to do this, they have abandoned truth telling. It doesn’t serve their cause. They actually brag about it. For instance, they have a term called “repressive tolerance”, which holds that it is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged to hold your opponents to a different standard than your own.

That’s why they are perfectly fine with the current state of 2-tier justice. They proudly gaslight their opponents by accusing them of doing the very thing that they are doing. It’s really not debatable.

When it comes to Democrats and Republicans, I don't really have a side. Neither represents my values and beliefs. Republicans are just the other side of the same coin. If something doesn't change the tide, this country is definitely screwed.

I just want 3-5 federal election cycles without a Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, Graham, Romney, Nadler, and a few others and let’s just see what happens. I realize there’s always a swallowswell or eyepatch to fill the void, but humor me.

Sounds like something the left would say.

Only one side is trying to prevent the other side from getting its message out. Only one side is coordinating a narrative with what is supposed to be independent media.

The election was always important. But with them implementing policies that are going to fundamentally change the very fabric of our nation, and them using our countries justice system as a means of bludgeoning their opposition, it is most certainly important. But it won’t matter, because they can manipulate the vote. Again!

You know what Boogeyman I see?

Millions of illegal immigrants crossing the border only to be bussed farther inland and propped up by welfare and tax money, while homeless US Military veterans live under bridges and watch. Men who claim to be women, playing in women's sports and infiltrating military and government leadership. Our faux President appointing an outspoken Satanic buttfricker to be his spokesperson on the non-issue Monkeypox virus. The White House press secretary blatantly lying to the public on literally a daily basis and nobody in power cares. Russia is wiping their arse on America's face. China is buying up American land to establish bases for illegal monetary gain. Bill gates now owns more prime farmland than anyone else in America while he's basically telling us to get ready to eat insects and like it. Career politicians on both sides of the aisle will send half a trillion dollars to Ukraine to protect their international money laundering machine, while they simultaneously laugh at the middle class paying 100% more for fuel, 50% more for energy and 30% more for groceries.

I could go on and on but that's a start. That's my Boogeyman. I didn't need any news outlet to show me. I can see it in my face every day.
