Writer of Find out how to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom The place You’re Planted on-line course
Simply if you thought you couldn’t be any extra disgusted by the mainstream media (or American Pravda, as I wish to name it), the aftermath of the resoundingly robust assertion election has confirmed us mistaken. Due to exaggerations, misquotes, and outright lies about President Trump, the individuals who had been adamantly supportive of Kamala Harris are in real worry for his or her lives.
It doesn’t assist that Reddit has turned itself into an echo chamber, completely banning anybody who tries to talk logically or mentions that they supported Trump within the election. Social proof of the hysteria fills mediums like TikTok, X, and Instagram, the place persons are filming their meltdowns over the election outcomes.
However the actual situation right here isn’t the reactions. It’s what prompted the reactions, and it wasn’t Trump.
The lies have prompted immense hurt.
Between the outright lies of the Harris marketing campaign and the way in which the media picked them up and magnified them, persons are satisfied of outrageous issues. I’m making an attempt to take a look at this compassionately as a result of many people have had our personal worries about 4 years underneath Harris or President Biden and eight years with President Obama.
The distinction shouldn’t be that our fears are rooted in actuality and subsequently extra affordable – in no way. The distinction is that our fears weren’t magnified by each social media outlet however X and amplified by the mainstream media each single day of all the election. Many of those persons are actually satisfied that their lives are in danger in a Trump presidency. The information has informed them so, and it’s bolstered on daily basis, making a terrifying echo chamber. As a result of they’re so satisfied, it’s very tough to get via to them that issues usually are not as they consider.
The outrageous propaganda has accelerated to the purpose that it’s about to result in suicides, civil unrest, and even perhaps civil struggle.
And most of it’s based mostly on lies and misdirections.
I began out being amused by the meltdowns – a few of them genuinely are outrageous. However I shortly realized that whereas for some, it was showmanship, for a lot of others, it was mortal worry – a worry that was manufactured however is nonetheless actual. And, this can be an unpopular opinion, however I can’t take a look at it that method and be ok with it.
The monster doesn’t actually need to be within the closet for a kid to be petrified of what’s within the closet. In the event that they’re satisfied the monster is there, then they really feel genuine worry.
The media could have blood on its palms.
The media has the blood on its palms of anybody who commits suicide over this manufactured worry. They bear the accountability for anybody harmed in civil unrest that arises from this. They’ve lied nonstop and with out public rebuttals about issues like Venture 2025, abortion bans, homosexual marriage being dissolved, and interracial marriages being dissolved. They’ve been informed that even authorized immigrants to the nation might be rounded up into camps and deported. They’re satisfied that there are internment camps there for them. They consider that ladies might be pressured to have infants and that the federal government will monitor their menstrual interval apps for irregularities.
If you concentrate on it, with the camps and such, a few of their conspiracy theories have been a few of our conspiracy theories. It’s simply that the villain is completely different. And we didn’t spin uncontrolled as a result of we additionally had the world telling us we had been loopy, whereas their world is reaffirming their fears across the clock.
Take a look at among the following with the attention that these poor folks have been brainwashed to actually consider that what they worry is actual.
(Warning: Mentions of abortion, profanity, and suicide.)
Dude, the media has brainwashed a bunch of ladies into pondering that Donald Trump goes to knock down their door tomorrow and drive them to offer start to infants. It’s that insane.
How may folks be this brainwashed? It simply blows my thoughts. pic.twitter.com/IjBbdamel7

It’s straightforward to take a look at these items and snicker it off.
It’s far tougher for us to grasp their fears and present compassion, notably after we ourselves have been demonized for years.
The individuals who have to be held accountable are the speaking heads who bolstered these legal guidelines and triggered this worry. Truthfully, I see these folks as victims of the media and the shady marketing campaign run by the Democrats. I’ve extra to say on this subject, however that’s content material for a unique article.
Whereas I’m sick to loss of life of being known as a Nazi, a fascist, rubbish, an inbred hillbilly, uneducated, and worse, lashing out in anger will do nothing to resolve this. Our anger needs to be directed the place it’s deserved: the folks creating darkish fairy tales and boogeymen and convincing these people it was actual.
All we are able to do individually proper now’s present individuals who we actually are. Keep in mind that if somebody actually believes {that a} hazard exists, it doesn’t matter whether it is actual or not. It’s actual to them. If you happen to can’t deliver your self to really feel compassion or kindness, at the very least don’t make their fears worse than they already are.
I consider we are able to do higher than what has been performed to us over the previous many years.
That is our a part of making America nice once more.
