How Joe Biden Lost My Vote<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new puritans, then, are best understood as a clergy for a godless age, presiding over a dreamscape of their own making, rewriting our language, history and traditions as they go along. Yet, for all their clout, there are still some among us who steadfastly refuse to praise the elegance of the emperor\u2019s new clothes, who would rather point and laugh at the naked man in our midst. Not for the first time in human history, our way out of this madness will depend upon the heretics.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0– Andrew Doyle, The New Puritans<\/p>\n

Joe Biden emerged from his\u00a0speech<\/a>\u00a0last week \u201con the continued battle for the soul of our nation\u201d like a squalling infant birthed from the loins of blue-check Twitter, bathed in the blood-red light of militant fascism.<\/p>\n

He was finally their guy. Gone was the empathy guy. Gone was the unity guy. Gone was the moderate guy.\u00a0Be mean, Joe. Get them, Joe. Get tough, Joe. Tell them their participation in Democracy is a threat to \u2026 Democracy!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, tell them, Joe. Tell the \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d they\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tell them, Joe, that you\u2019ve decided to throw them away like human garbage and that you\u2019re hoping for another January 6th 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\u2019s not fascism at all.<\/p>\n

Why did Joe Biden give that speech? Who thought that was a good idea? Obviously, Joe Biden and his administration know that the \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d are not a dangerous threat to the country. Otherwise, the Democrats would not have meddled in primary elections, spending upwards of $46 million\u00a0pushing those very same MAGA candidates<\/a>\u00a0towards a win, blocking the more moderate GOP picks.<\/p>\n

Surely the Democrats know what they\u2019re doing, right? I mean, they\u2019re asking for America\u2019s vote to stay in power. Joe Biden wouldn\u2019t lie to the people about something as serious as a threat to the Republic, right?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2020, we saw them sacrifice the truth as they micromanaged to 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 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Their feedback loop is all they know. They believe it\u2019s the truth, rather than nonstop recycling of confirmation bias and agitprop flooding the zone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nearly impossible to escape it. It\u2019s everywhere and in everything. What motivated me to climb out of it was the dust-up between Twitter and\u00a0Tom Cotton\u2019s essay<\/a>\u00a0at the New York Times. They wanted the Times to be on point, not to tell any objective truth. They bullied them for days until they offered some withering correction and fired editors. That is how Bari Weiss ended up revolutionizing alternative media<\/a>\u00a0here on Substack.<\/p>\n

I forced myself to disconnect from the media entirely to escape the bubble. I stopped reading my Twitter feed and started an alt account that paid attention only to the Right. I watched Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Fox News. I listened to Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh. I watched all of Trump\u2019s rallies heading into the election, all five a day.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t true and how much the media and politicians lie daily. They tell themselves what they want to be true, not what is true.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t given any other option. They don\u2019t want anyone to tell the truth ever. They want to shut it down.<\/p>\n

How did we ever get here? And is there any way out?<\/p>\n

There is a line in Citizen Kane where the character of Gettys says to Kane, \u201cyou\u2019re going to need more than one lesson. And you\u2019re to get more than one lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n
