Over this past few weeks it was fully confirmed that Hillary Clinton and her team made up Trump-Russia out of whole cloth, passed it on to the MSM and Justice and both those institutions ran with it – for years – even though a cursory examination right at the start showed the whole concept was false. For us on our side, we knew it fairly instinctively that it was false – partially based on our mistrust of the MSM but mostly because it simply didn’t make sense that Russia would want Trump as President. They knew Hillary Clinton very well: they knew, that is, that a second Clinton Administration would sell out American interests as readily as the first Clinton Administration (not to mention as readily as the Obama Administration). Russia and indeed all global powers wanted Clinton to win in 2016. Nobody knew for sure what Trump was going to be like, but they knew – every person on Earth with an interest knew – that a Hillary Clinton Presidency meant continued hobbling of American economic and military power and American assistance in undermining the American position in the world. If Russia, or any foreign actor, was to interfere in the 2016 election, it would be to benefit Hillary.
And now that it is all exposed what do we see? That people still believe the anti-Trump Narrative. I see it all day long on social media. Of course, it helps that so far the New York Times has not run a story about Clinton’s role in starting Trump-Russia. Nobody is more ignorant of the world than someone who is an avid consumer of the MSM! But while belief based on ignorance is still bad, belief based on refusal to admit error is much worse, because that is what causes our side the most trouble.
I’ve been watching the Never Trump and the Dislike Trump people and while they do now know Trump-Russia was false, they still go with the overarching anti-Trump Narrative. In other words, faced with the proven fact that the primary objection to Trump is false, they still fall back on the feeling that Trump was and is just bad and so must be opposed. And their conviction that Trump is bad is based entirely upon information provided to them by the very same sources which made up and ran with the Trump-Russia story. The believed or at least lent credibility to Trump-Russia and this made them oppose Trump and now that they know it was all false, they still want to maintain their anti-Trump stance. The Lie is dead, long live the Lie!
I used to think that lies couldn’t endure the truth. Turns out I was wrong: if it is a lie that people want to believe, it is going to be quite durable. And for many people, the anti-Trump lies are comforting. And I think this is because they simply do not want to confront what Trump exposed: the utter rot in all American institutions. For these people, life remains good (though inflation is now putting some pressure on that). They tend to work in professions that don’t require a lot of effort and they are well paid. They live in nice areas. As long as they don’t rock the boat too much, they can stay on the gravy train for life and, with a little luck, make a great deal of money. But even if they don’t rise to the heights of money and fame, they still live well. Writing a couple articles a month is a lot less bothersome than clocking in 40 hours a week, right? Trump showed them that while life was good for them, things were bad for the United States. That millions of people were losing their hope for the future…and that the enemies of the United States were on a rampage. And the fault for everything going wrong was in the American institutions which had become both stupid and corrupt in equal measures. How can you defend that? Well, you really can’t – but you can at least attack Trump as a backhanded way of defending the Establishment. An anti-Trump diatribe kept you on the gravy train…pointing out that Trump has been maligned by MSM and government liars gets you kicked off right quick.
So, expect them to continue. And take your fun while you can – these people sift data now to “prove” that Trump is no longer popular with the base and that we’re finally going to get Romney II in 2024 to restore the Balance or some such drivel. Basing their whole worldview on a pack of lies, they simply don’t see what is coming – and their tears will be even more delicious than the liberal tears. But I do wonder – once Trump or Trump II (DeSantis) becomes President and starts to dismantle the Empire of Lies, will they then come around to admitting they were wrong?

Democrats don’t have a monopoly on lying, but they hold the patent on the really big lies. Republicans generally lie about what they’re going to do and then don’t do it. That’s what made Trump do refreshing and appealing to so many of us. He said precisely what he was going to do, and then, in spite of hurricane force headwinds, he kept most of his promises. No one since Reagan has kept promises like Trump did. One can only imagine if Democrats and not an insignificant number of never-Trump Republicans hadn’t spent 4 years undermining him and putting up roadblocks at every turn what Trump could have accomplished. And yet we’re to believe that people were SO unhappy with him that 81 million voted against him. Yeah – NO!
It seems like a lot of people have got Bill Gates’ number. Some are even saying it’s 666.
Oh no! We’re all going to die!! OR…..maybe we’re just living in the Matrix. Hard to tell.
These are the precepts needed to justify full authoritarianism. It’s no joke.
You knew, if you’ve studied history and been paying attention, that this was coming. Authoritarianism has been the rule rather than the exception throughout recorded history. I predict this time it WILL NOT be different.
100% correct

And judging by the decreased conservative comments here at B4V, I sometimes think there’s not much conservative fight left. We just let the bullies be bullies and then fire off strongly worded letters.
Republicans were in on the steal …
If this most recent massacre doesn’t open your eyes to the abject failure of our Government and our Media, then you are not paying attention. WAKE THE F**K UP!!!
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
The tentacles of authoritarianism run deep. This generation will need the courage of the Founding Fathers to turn this around. I think we are at that point again.
It’s also a lot easier to be an authoritarian if you have tens of billions of dollars.
