When the Biden levee breaks- part two
Projection and gaslighting ultimately create a crumbling foundation
Gaslighting
The other sinister tool used by would-be authoritarians is gaslighting, a term traced to the 1944 film “Gaslight”. In the movie, Ingrid Bergman plays a sweet naive young woman who witnesses a murder. Her husband later in life spends his time gaslighting her, “when a person lies for their own gain to another person so repeatedly and with so much confidence that the victim begins to doubt her own sanity.” They may doubt what they see with their own eyes, as when he dimmed the gas lights in the living room a little bit each evening, insisting she was imagining it growing darker.
In modern America, the media and the 21st century Democrat Party work in lockstep to gaslight as many distracted Americans as they can. Is that southern border wide open? No, that’s an illusion, a mirage. Are there millions of foreign immigrants streaming over our border with more on the way, not due to political persecution but for economic advantage, which is NOT a legal reason for entering? Are they encouraged and assisted all along the way from Colombia in South America through the Darien Gap to Panama and on to Texas and New York City by NGOs and other government-affiliated transport services? Of course not, could never happen, must be your imagination.
Are those bands of young thieves running roughshod through retail stores all over Seattle, Portland, San Franscisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York? Are they not being prosecuted for these terrible crimes against people and businesses? Are they locking up sundries and many routine items behind glass cages in drugstores in the west to discourage rampant shoplifting? Or simply closing the stores? Has the elimination of cash bail created a revolving door where a substantial number of crimes are committed by the same people being released over and over? Of course not, that is not taking place. Those police commissioners complaining about the DAs in their communities being soft on crime and releasing criminals back to the streets are in your imagination. They are not real. Do you see it reported on mainstream media outlets? No? Then it must not be happening. That’s all a part of gaslighting.
Have we been poking Russia using Ukraine as our spear since 2014, orchestrating the overthrow of a Russia-friendly government in 2014, leading to Russia’s annexation of Crimea? Did our continued push for Ukraine’s NATO membership under Presidents Obama and then Biden directly threaten Russia on its border and in effect prod Putin into the Ukrainian invasion? Of course not, that could not happen. It is simply the brave and courageous Ukrainian patriots fighting for their sacred homeland against the barbaric Russian hordes. Ask the media repeaters, they will tell you. All the while our dollars flow into murky Ukrainian coffers. We even pay the pensions of aging Ukrainians now. Have you heard all about that?
Are those actually men competing against women in high school and collegiate women’s athletics? Are those men dressing in the ladies’ dressing room? I thought women fought long and hard to get equal treatment and opportunity in scholastic athletics. I am fairly sure this is not what they meant when they sought equality. Must not be happening, right?
Biden’s last projection and gaslight
The Biden projection and gaslighting machine is running on fumes and on its last legs. The Democrats have put up with him as long as he was polling ahead of the demon Trump for 2024. His doddering and increased frailty were minimized and overlooked. When they failed to secure Hunter’s sweetheart plea bargain and get-out-of-jail free card last month, it opened the floodgates for continued harmful revelations and now the early signs of mutiny from the faithful establishment. The mouthpiece of the intelligence community, David Ignatius of the Washington Post wrote a positive piece on what Biden has accomplished, thanking him for his work, and asking him to step aside, job well done. He’ll not be the last. It should be fascinating to see how the President transitions to the no-go for the ’24.
Michelle Obama is stretching her legs and Gavin Newsome is touching up his tan. Which one will former President Obama anoint? It’s probably up to how Michelle is feeling. Joe Biden’s final projection and gaslight may be when he declares that Donald Trump constitutes a great danger to the country if elected, and that the future of the Republic would be greatly imperiled were he to take office again. The grand projection.
