How delusional Democrats create a lefty alternate – Latest News
It is troublesome to find out whether or not the bizarro worldview of the present Democrat-media nexus can merely be attributed to its generic Trump Derangement Syndrome — however the loopy world of the left more and more bears scant resemblance to actuality.
In this alternate universe, Eric Swalwell was a liberal icon and invaluable asset for years, although admittedly a bit randy and infrequently a serial sexual predator.
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner was, eventually, the left’s “real thing,” the white working-class liberal stiff who might win back on the hoi polloi — though he can’t get his story straight on whether or not his Nazi tattoo was an accident or proof that he was brainwashed by the poisonous US army.

The left has created one other fantasy world out of the present Iran battle.
When President Donald Trump warned on a Monday that the Iranian regime may face horrible punishment for its continued drone and missile assaults, he was libeled as a trendy Nazi exterminator, hellbent on mass death.
When on Tuesday Iran relented and requested for negotiations, Trump instantly grew to become smeared as a chickening-out TACO naïf, overeager for peace.
Each day, the left tries to assume up a new argument for American defeat, whilst Iran suffers more one-sided injury.
Their concept is to embolden Iran to carry out, in hopes that Trump — underneath fixed left-wing assault, worldwide strain to decrease fuel costs, and his own restive congressional allies — will fold, to be trashed by the left as a TACO again.
More preposterously, the left has peddled the fantasy that Trump’s calls for for Iran to give up its nuclear materials copied the Obama Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the so-called Iran deal.
But who might deny that, underneath Obama, the deal empowered Iran to rearm even more quickly with lifted sanctions, nocturnal money transfers and the unfreezing of its belongings?
In distinction, Trump is coping with a prostrate Iranian army.
Begging a absolutely armed and defiant Iran merely to postpone its acquisition of a bomb is just not the equal of dictating to a flattened Iran a collection of calls for that, if unmet, will result in its veritable destruction.
Examine one other fantasy: the charade of a Democratic effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on foolish costs of supposedly aiding an unauthorized battle, reckless handling of categorized data, obstruction of congressional oversight, abuse of energy, politicization of the army and more.
Note that Hegseth, in a single 12 months, fixed the years-long disaster of falling enlistment that he inherited.
He has now even exceeded recruitment targets by emphasizing that troopers ought to focus on fight effectiveness and never on race, intercourse or sexual orientation.
His Pentagon oversaw the summer season 2025 destruction of Iranian nuclear services (with no fatalities), the army extradition of Nicolas Maduro and the recalibration of a once-rogue Venezuela (with no casualties), and the present battle that in a matter of weeks destroyed the army functionality of the once-feared theocratic Iran (with 13 fatalities thus far).
Compare that to the prior secretary, Lloyd Austin, who went medically AWOL with out informing the White House that he was incapacitated for days within the ICU.
He oversaw the Pentagon’s historic misadventure in Afghanistan and fixed unanswered assaults on US troopers within the Middle East that emboldened Iran’s terrorist proxies.
No Republican known as for his impeachment.
The battle in Iran is just not “unauthorized”; it has not exceeded the 90-day restrict underneath the War Powers Act.
However, Obama’s seven-month unauthorized bombing of Libya, underneath the Democrats’ present logic, actually was a “war crime” — as was his “unauthorized,” months-long predator assassination marketing campaign on the Afghan border that killed 500, together with 4 US residents.
Finally, for over a decade the left has waged a coordinated, typically extralegal effort to destroy the campaigns and presidency of Donald Trump.
What lawfare did the Democrats not sanction?
Trump’s first impeachment hinged on the rumour proof of a pseudo-whistleblower who connived with the prevaricator Adam Schiff — with the acquiescence of a partisan inspector normal.
The Russian collusion hoax was orchestrated by Obama’s FBI and CIA.
Democrats perverted the legal system to wage 4 years of lawfare in 5 civil and legal courtrooms.
Despite all that, we are actually warned by Democrats like Susan Rice that when the left regains energy, their vendettas to punish their enemies will restart.
James Carville advises the Democrats to keep quiet about their actual plans upon returning to energy: to pack the Supreme Court and finish the 66-year, 50-state union with two new blue states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC — all to acquire in an prompt 4 left-wing senators and kill the Senate filibuster.
What is the one fixed theme on this alternate left-wing universe?
No Democrat outlines an immigration agenda, a technique to spherical up Biden’s legal illegal-alien entrants, an vitality plan, a pathway to stability the finances, anti-corruption measures to stop welfare looting or a new strategic roadmap overseas.
Instead, the get together creates alternate realities that demand altering the system itself somewhat than working within it to appeal to the American voter.
Living with each day delusions and shrieking on the Trump demons raging of their collective heads is no technique to run a nation.
