No, you're NOT losing your mind

I saw something today that restored my feelings that I'm not actually losing my mind in the middle of all this chaos:
Don't let the media make you think you're alone or isolated or weird.
One reason Dems are so comically furious over "Let's Go Brandon" is they understand it's the kind of thing that triggers "preference cascades" - a moment when people look around and realize that huge numbers of their neighbors share what the ruling party claims is a fringe opinion.
The Left expends a huge amount of effort on making its adversaries feel marginalized. They mastered the dark art of making the majority FEEL like a fringe minority. The demoralization-destabilization-subversion strategy of the Left is designed to make normal people feel abnormal.
"Let's Go Brandon" is a moment when vast numbers of Americans who have been told Joe Biden won a sweeping election victory, and has a mystical mandate to destroy and rebuild America, look around and realize most of the country severely dislikes him and distrusts his media.
That's not a fringe or minority opinion. It's not extremism. It's the truth - and it's not an unreasonable opinion. Biden has been a huge failure in every way that matters. People are still angry about Afghanistan even though his media has "moved on." They see how feeble he is.
Biden's horrifying economy is hitting people right in the face, every damn day - every time they visit a gas station or buy groceries. It's obvious and visceral. No amount of media spin can hide it. The Biden administration's excuses are hilariously obvious and stupid lies.
But the big reason Let's Go Brandon caught fire is that Biden and his handlers are so hostile toward the American middle class. Their lies drip with contempt. They can't conceal the loathing they feel toward the common man. Their policies are aggressively attacking your life.
The media is stunned and panicked over this because they still think they control the national memory bank. They don't realize people are still thinking and talking about words and deeds the media has deemed irrelevant, archaic, and forgotten.
Afghanistan is the obvious example, but I'll bet most DNC Media types would be shocked to learn how many people are thinking about Joe Biden's energy policies, like killing Keystone, every time they watch those prices tick up at the pump. The media forgot, but we haven't.
Reporters live on social media these days, and they know how lefty astroturf operations work - they're willing participants in so many of them! - so they assume everything is an orchestrated political op, but Let's Go Brandon (and its more vulgar predecessor) are real grassroots.
So now they're going to try to control the preference cascade by shaming and bullying people out of saying Let's Go Brandon. Back to the old playbook - 1) trick the majority into feeling like a minority, 2) make a popular position feel like fringe extremism, 3) demoralize, 4) destabilize.
It might work, or the moment could pass, although little about Biden's performance to date suggests he is able or willing to reverse the trend. Biden and his handlers would snarl with rage at the suggestion they should reach out to the growing number of Americans who dislike him.
But as Biden's loyalists climb on their high horses, purge their memories of everything the Left said about GOP presidents, and shriek about civility, just remember: BIDEN STARTED THIS. He and his party said F-you to a big chunk of America long before they said F-you back.
So kick back, put your feet up and have a beer. You're not weird, after all.

I am growing weary of the "incompetence" or "blunder" labels that continue to be applied to what is obviously a calculated destruction. It's purposeful, and it's of malintent, but it is not incompetence or blunder.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Closed Door deals .
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
I think it's getting more & more obvious who really leads & influences politics.
They were the party of bigotry & prejudice. Now they've flipped that hate in another direction but it's still the same.
It's getting harder & harder to tell the difference between the demons and the politicians.
I can say one thing for certain..
Donald Trump did not ever fall asleep during a meeting with foreign dignitaries like Joe did, or have a fecal accident in his pants in front of the Pope at the Vatican like Joe did. Or say something totally ridiculous like, " the best way to prepare for hurricane season is to get a vaccine." like Joe did.
Our leftist media shields and protects the idiot- in- chief from any negative publicity so none of that ever makes mainstream.
We traveled all over western Virginia, Younkin signs everywhere McAwful had literally none, as you approach the dreaded DC areas you start getting into the Free stuff voters. Virginia is one of those states that is entirely red except the ghettos.
and you can thank Lyndon Johnson for that.
In before the move oh and Lets Go Brandon!
Appeal to authority, a logic fallacy and/or Bandwagon fallacy?
😉😁🤣
Obama's the President...Biden is just a puppet who thinks he's President.. Obama even said he was going to do it if he could figure out how... look it up...

Bandwagon fallacy is close, but the No True Scotsman or Argumentun ad Populum are closer, if you can swallow the "truth" that the Populum consist solely of the mainstream media.
To me the comments by some of the Dem leaders that the results of the recent elections mean they have to get their big bill passed is a HUGE indicator of their arrogance.
They don't even consider that maybe the majority of voters DON"T want their socialist agenda.
81 million may have voted for Biden, but remember that 71 million voted for Trump but 80 MILLION didn't vote so 150 million didn't vote for Biden.
Not much of a "mandate", is it?
There is no institution more corrupt and politicized than national media, toss in FB and Twitter, Sewers all of them.
