Far worse than teenagers writing an extension of their favorite anime series or video game, the fan fiction left encourages its audience, which depending on the writer or podcast often rivals those of mainstream publications and programs, to act in accordance with its weird delusions. Hallucination is central to their magical world of make-believe. Enter that world, and you will learn the following:
- Bernie Sanders would have won the 2016 and 2020 DNC primaries if not for intraparty rigging. He also would have easily won both presidential elections. The fact that in both races he earned millions of fewer votes than his respective opponents is insignificant to the fan fiction left, who have cultivated their own big lie.
- Even though powerful Republicans believe in the neo-Nazi “great replacement theory”“voter suppression and racist gerrymandering are prevalentand many states are passing legislative assaults on women’s rights and LGBTQ rightsconcerns about racism, sexism, and homophobia are only bourgeois “identity politics.”
- Trump supporters, regardless of how hateful, irrational and violent they become, are merely misled members of the proletariat class. Even if evidence demonstrates that his supporters are not poorthat Biden won more votes among Americans making below $ 50,000, and those making below $ 100,000 for that matter and that the real motivations of the Trump cult are racism, nativism and Christian fundamentalism, the fan fiction left would have its subscribers believe that most Trump supporters are modern day incarnations of Tom Joad, the protagonist of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.” With only a few speeches , Sanders would have converted them to democratic socialism. Similarly, warnings about the dangers of Trump are signs of “liberal hysteria.”
- “Russiagate” was a “hoax“just as Trump himself falsely claims. The investigations and even the leak of Kremlin documents demonstrating exactly how Russian President Vladimir Putin influenced the 2016 election through a sophisticated disinformation campaign are meaningless.
- The US should not provide provide aid to the Ukrainian struggle for freedom and self-determination, and is only doing so to enrich the military-industrial complex.Support for Ukraine is unjust, because US-NATO aggression provoked Putin into invasion.
- Republican extremism and obstructionism are irrelevant, as are the structural and procedural laws of the federal government. The only reason that President Biden and the Democratic Congress have failed to pass major reforms, like the Green New Deal or tuition-free community college, is that the Democrats have sold out to corporate interests, and refuse to make a genuine effort..
It’s likely these ideas play a role in the divergence in party loyalty that lowers Biden’s approval rating to Trump levels, but more importantly, it illustrates the venomous effect that the left has on potential Democratic votes.
The party is also worthy of harsh criticism for taking a bashful approach to punishing Trump Despite sizable weaknesses, they do have the advantage of not being racists, sexists, homophobes or hostile to the foundation of democracy. Residents of the real world should vote accordingly.
