"His supporters are violent extremists who'll surely start a civil war"
Talk to ANY #Trump supporter and they'll laugh at that idea. like any group of people, there are some outliers. Unlike Democrats though, Trump supporters easily & regularly, denounce the violent outliers. 2/n

In general, Trump supporters see violence as a reactive or defensive solution....not an offensive one.
All year long, though, we have seen Democrats actively support outright offensive violence, as it lines up with their chosen narrative. NO condemnation whatsoever.

Democrats have denied the existence of ANTIFA, while ANTIFA burns and loots cities across the country. Democrats have never condemned the acts, only derided those who question the necessity of, and, ran interference for those perpetrating, the acts ("ANTIFA is an idea").

It has become quite obvious to any third-party casual observer, that ANTIFA IS for real, and IS supported by Democrats.

"He won't concede when he loses the election".
This is either the greatest dart throw in history, or the Dems were planning something that would guarantee the result.
Again, all Trump supporters found this notion preposterous. But, they all expected a fair election, too.

THIS statement has been mantra for at least the last two years, and it's chant only got louder the closer we got to the election. Can any Democrat HONESTLY say that, if the tables were turned, THEY wouldn't be questioning the results? Nope. THAT's why they were in on it.

This one thing alone should be enough for even the most ardent Democrats to be wondering what the hell is going on. There are PLENTY of questionable acts during the election, denial of that is simply burying one's head in the sand. 8/n
Add these questions to the years long chant? Like I said, either the greatest dart throw, or in on it. They planned it. Plain and simple.
Now....this brings me to another thing, that ties back to the first point about the violence....

Some Democrats have posited that Trump supporters would be violent in DC leading up to the election. We've already covered how unlikely that is, in general, and covered who is MOST likely to BE violent. So, yesterday happens...and what is noted? ANTIFA members in the crowd.

Do we need to draw this out in crayon for casual Democrat supporters (if there are any)? Is it really that impossible for "leftists" or "progressives" or whatever these people want to call themselves, to see what is ACTUALLY going on? Are they really that blind?

EVERY person I know on "the right", be they "Conservatives" or "Libertarians" or "Classical Liberals", want the same thing. Freedom. They want to be left alone, with the choice of how to lead their lives. They don't want to be told how to think, what to say, how to dress.... 12/n
...or how to lead their life, by government or anyone. They want to make those choices on their own, based on what suits them best. These are not violent people, with violent ideas. I'm not sure how anyone could believe they are.
Contrast that with many on the left, ... 13/n

...including many I know. They not only WANT to dictate THEIR ideals to others, they actively encourage government to do it for them. So...who's the fascist, exactly? Just because the group defending YOUR ideals calls themselves "anti" fascist, doesn't mean they are.

At the end of the day, though, who is responsible for ALL of this? Simple... Mainstream Media. The CNN's, MSNBC's, CBC's, CTV's, CBS's....etc. Television news has become a crutch for the majority of people. To the point where I think many can't function, daily, without it.

Unfortunately, though, television news is no longer about information, and ensuring it's viewers get factual details, while holding leaders (business, government, or political) to account. It's all about indoctrinating it's viewers in an ideology.

That's more commonly known as "spreading propaganda". Don't believe me? When was the last time an MSM reporter asked detailed questions about COVID restrictions imposed by govt? When did any ask for, and receive, detailed data supporting any of the restrictions?

If those questions were ever asked (I doubt they were), they were met with a politically correct bullshit answer, and never pressed any further. It's all about spreading a message, without questions.
White House press briefings...sure, the media appears to ask questions, ...18/n

...but, in reality, they are only just editorializing their chosen narrative. This aspect is even worse in Canada with our Parliamentary press gallery. It's nothing more than a circle jerk fawning over Lord Pretty Socks.

Turn off the news. It's not serving any positive purpose anymore.
It's literally THE problem today.
You don't need your local morning newscast to get through your day, or the Evening News/broadsheet paper to tell you what to be offended about.
Stop watching/reading.

See the world around you with your own eyes. I can guarantee you what you see doesn't line up in any way with any of today's media narratives.
Tune out those who only want to further the narratives, you don't need them.
The more who do that, the better off we'll all be.
