When Will America Reach Peak Insanity?

When Will America Reach Peak Insanity?
It seems roughly half of the country is suffering from mass delusions. Either that or there is a willful effort to ignore the truth and spread lies for political reasons. Neither scenario bodes well for the country.
Our American sensibilities are assaulted on a daily basis with claims that are widely accepted to be true and righteous even though they’re demonstrably false and malign. The falsehoods, exaggerations, and prevarications by omission are tearing at the fabric of the great American experiment in liberty. Which is exactly what they are designed to do.
×
Consider the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, acquitted (justly) last week of the homicide and reckless endangerment charges that should have never been brought against him. Not only was the prosecution malicious (for which the prosecutors should be sued), the web of lies that corrupted the entire case were in service of a nefarious political agenda.
Rittenhouse did not kill two black men and wound another, as some media outlets claimed. The men he shot in self-defense were white. Nor could it be said the men were mere protesters, as so many asserted.
Rittenhouse was also called a white supremacist, even by I’ll-bring-the-country-together candidate Joe Biden, though there’s no evidence that he is. It simply fit the narrative and that was good enough.
These examples are but surface coverage of the untruths politicians, the media and half-wit celebrities spread about Rittenhouse, because they saw the episode, from the self-defense shootings to the trial, as an opportunity to further demonize firearms and to make the streets safe for the “right” kind of protesting, which to the sane and decent among us is known as rioting by the left.
Meanwhile, the global warming lunacy continues to run free. No longer are the green shirts satisfied with replacing gasoline and diesel automobiles with electric cars, they want to get rid of cars altogether.
It might be an easy task, given that Democrats, aided by the media, want to financially break as many Americans as possible by passing asinine legislation such as the Build Back Better bill. If we follow the hard left that is now the center of the Democratic Party, we’ll have no choice but to use public transportation, because we won’t be able to afford cars after the law, if passed, has wrecked the economy.
Or so the left hopes. Either that or the Democrats will push us into crowded buses and subways because they’ve pushed the price of oil to unaffordable heights for most Americans.
Two years of pandemic have contributed as well to the outbreak of madness. The unvaccinated, whether they have natural immunity from a coronavirus infection or have been medically advised to forgo the shot, are treated like modern lepers, as are mask opponents, by politicians, “journalists,” and celebrities – the troika of knavery again – who cannot discipline their urges to control others nor their neurotic need to feel superior. All are to comply with their demand, or else.
We’re just getting started. The country is plagued with unhealthy racial and gender fixations; daily attacks on free speech; crime sprees where prosecution and incarceration are considered lamentable anachronisms; a vicious cancel culture; demands to defund the police; continued attempts to keep the Russia, Russia, Russia lie alive; Soviet-style purges of opinions and information from those the left wants silenced; and riotous Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs. Readers, please feel free to add whatever comes to mind, because our list is merely a starting point.
It could be that what we’re calling insanity is actually a campaign of ill intent. But a degree of derangement has to be present. Otherwise, the movement would have been overwhelmingly rejected rather than embraced by a large enough portion of the public to give it traction. Unless we reach peak insanity soon, and begin a return to normalcy, the future will be a far harder ride than the ugly moment we live in.

About 2-3 months prior to next year's election we'll hit peak.

If Trump is re-elected, it’s going to get even worse. It’s a major reason I want DeSantis to be President since I think he is capable of stifling the insanity and uniting much of the country.
No matter what Trump does, even if in his second term he’s the greatest President in US history, I think he is incapable of this. People are stubborn when it comes to their perceptions on him. Liberals like Bill Maher and Sam Harris pretty much had nothing but positive things to say about Trump’s foreign policy save for when he said dumb crap, but they couldn’t separate the policy from the boar of a man Trump was. They’re now seeing the policy failings in real time.
If you get DeSantis in there, then I think the insanity will start to subside and people will start paying attention to our actual enemy across the sea.

I hope I'm wrong but I figure once we get to the point of thinking it has to be as bad as it can be, things will take a turn for the worse. There is no perverse or insane thing the left wing won't throw their support behind and they're embolden.
I'm afraid current times will eventually seem like good times compared to what's coming

It's not Trump's job to baby the misinformed or ignorant.

I'm not sure what you mean by peaked by you have about 15-20% of the population who is ready to invest the rest of their lives tearing down the current construct to implement the Great Reset, which is really just a small ruling class and communism for the masses. What we're seeing now is going to go on until the masses submit which is probably 30 years away once the booms and Gen X are mostly dead. They will be the last generations to have living under freedom.

Apparently you don't realize what DeSantis will be up against. Pressure has been applied to Trump and he is still Trump. He's a proven leader and not a pussy that will give in to these evil globalist fricks. I'm willing to give DeSantis a chance after Trump take his/our revenge. God willing.

Nope. The shite stirring will continue. Full steam ahead. You don't seem to understand that they want to break America. To remake it in their image. A Godless America and you and me under their boot.

Trump stood up to them but actually didn’t accomplish anything long term

We're not far from it.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams.
The real question is that how long will we stay at that point? Will enough people be content enough living under such a system, as long as it continues to provide the requisite panem et circenses, to forestall change back to a more liberty-oriented society?

I do, but here’s the big difference between Trump and DeSantis: before Trump even ran, everyone already had an opinion on Donald Trump. People don’t have that with DeSantis, and most the people who currently dislike him haven’t heard him even speak since the MSM will talk about DeSantis but will never show him unfiltered. If there’s anyone in American history we’ve heard unfiltered at least until last year, it was Donald Trump. That’s why DeSantis is the better bet.

Oh I carefully understand this, but I also understand something you do not: if America breaks, China takes over the world. You do not want to live in a world where the CCP is dictating the terms. I will do almost anything to prevent this.

100 is considered “normal”, so all IQ scores will likely renormalize over time.
Which means that the IQ score I got as a kid is probably another 20-30 points higher than it used to be because the average person has gotten much stupider.
