Democrats

It’s always been the case that egotistical people are attracted to positions of power. We often remark on how power corrupts, but it’s probably more accurate that positions of power attract the already corrupted, the narcissistic. 

But it’s undoubtedly the case that our society in general today is more narcissistic, and it looks like the percentage of people with strong narcissistic tendencies is greater than it’s ever been in living memory. 

Power-hungry people use many tools to beguile us and extract resources: flattery, lying, manipulation. One of their favorite tools is the “narcissistic reversal.” It’s so simple and straightforward that you may be surprised at how well it works (and it works most of the time). It’s just reversing the truth, calling black white, calling good actions bad actions, calling perpetrators of abuse “victims.” Normal people don’t act this way, and that’s how we’re taken in by the narcissistic reversal. We can’t imagine lying this way, so we incorrectly assume that no one else would.

Therefore, if John says he’s a victim, he must be, right? 

The Democrat Party has been doing one hell of a reversal on the concept of masculinity. Anyone who has watched Minnesota Governor and vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz prance across the stage would not think of him first when talking about the art of manliness. His feet barely touch the floor and he waves frenetically like Jack Tripper, the character in the old sitcom Three’s Company who pretends to be homosexual so the landlord will allow him to room with two girls (oh, remember the days when people cared about propriety?). 

Yet there the blue team is trying to portray Walz as “America’s Dad.” 

It’s not as obviously ridiculous since Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff has not been observed prancing, but the left is trying to sell us on the idea that Emhoff is “the new masculinity.” What women on the left are doing is reversing the definition of “masculine.” Emhoff appears to be content, as commentator Matt Walsh said recently, to play second fiddle to his wife. That’s what these women really want, and they’re calling that “masculine” to sell it to sane people. 

But even under the old definition of manliness, Emhoff doesn’t look so good. Prolific X user Collin Rugg has this on allegations that Emhoff (who cheated on his former wife and got the nanny pregnant) has a history of abusing women. 

As Rugg said on X, “It’s always the male feminists.”

NEW: Doug Emhoff's former colleagues have come forward, say he refused to promote women who didn't flirt with him & would brag about yelling at women.

Emhoff impregnated his nanny, is accused of assaulting his girlfriend, and now this.

Let’s see what others had to say. 

Chuck has a good question. 

Eric here is probably going to be waiting a long time. 

The Jesterhead has picked up on the narcissistic reversal. 

Have Americans gotten used to being yelled at by our presidents? President Joe Biden seems to believe it’s normal to scream at his audience and the population generally as if he were an angry father. 

The tone of some of his statements during the “pandemic” shocked many observers. In September of 2021, a year and a few months into the “pandemic” that turned into an excuse to abrogate the constitutional rights of Americans, Biden made an address that would have sounded at home in a public service ad about domestic violence. 

“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he said. To whom? The portion of the population that had not taken or refused to take the Covid vaccines. It left many of us asking, “Who does this man think he is?”

In our modern era, we’re undergoing a reversal. Politicians and public servants now assume that they’re in a parental or power-over relationship with the citizens. Somehow in recent years, it has become normal for elected representatives or plain old government workers to issue orders to citizens, rather than the other way around.

Nowhere was this more evident than in Biden’s infamous “red speech,” also in September of 2021. Standing in front of Independence Hall that was bathed in blood-red light, Biden yelled and harangued the American people, insulting regular citizens who had voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

About ordinary Americans, Biden said, “MAGA Republicans do not respect the constitution,” and that they were “empowering election deniers.”

But it is Biden who does not respect the constitution. Indeed, it is an open question whether he actually understands it. It is unclear which group of people he was addressing on Thursday, September 27, but his message could not have been easier to interpret. Raising his voice like an exasperated dad, Biden told a familiar lie: he claimed that the Second Amendment did not give Americans the right to own a cannon. 

With what has become his characteristic slurring, Biden said, “I taught constitutional law for years. NEVER was the second amendment meant to be absolute. Back when it was passed you could not own a cannon.”

You really need to listen to the audio to get the full, disturbing “vibe” from the angry way Biden spits out his words.

Check out this video clip:

But his tone is not the only problem. He’s just factually wrong. The Second Amendment has never been interpreted to mean that you can’t own a cannon. Biden has repeated this lie many times before; it is simply not credible to believe he is honestly mistaken. Three years ago, the notoriously Biden-friendly Washington Post even conceded that he was telling a lie. 

Here’s the truth. You’re allowed to own a cannon under the Second Amendment. And also; Biden never taught constitutional law.

Let’s see if X users were persuaded by bellicose Biden. 

On this next one? Yes, Biden did indeed say that.

Dave picked up on Biden’s other big lie today:

Aw, yeah!

America does not have royalty. That used to go without saying, but as with quaint concepts like freedom of speech and assembly, modern Americans need more frequent reminders of their political birthright. 

Getting out from under the tyrannical British Crown was the motivation for the American Revolution—the tax on tea was only the proximate cause that set off a long-waiting powder keg of resentment among the colonists. Subjects are not citizens, and the founding fathers wanted a system of government that the people consented to. 

But though we don’t often admit it, Americans have held onto a certain romantic interest in the trappings of royalty. We are as, or more, obsessed with gossip about the British Royal Family as His Majesty’s subjects are. 

We can see this affection for aristocracy in the strange and frankly un-American title we give to the wife of the U.S. President: first lady (no, it’s not capitalized because it isn’t a real title). The United States does not have lords or ladies; that’s the entire purpose behind the American project. We do not officially recognize an elevated status for the wife of the president; she does not become Queen Consort for four years simply because her husband was elected to office. 

That is, unless she is Jill Biden. And that’s DOCTOR Jill Biden to you, serf. Have you noticed how those with Mickey Mouse doctorates like Biden’s—she got hers in the fake field of “education”—are the ones insisting on being called “Dr.” by everyone around them? 

It looks like Jill Biden would very much like us to call her Madam President. Take a look at this remarkable spectacle (click below to watch the video):

🚨Wow. A visibly exhausted Joe Biden just held a full Cabinet meeting for the first time in 11 months and immediately turned the mic over to his wife, Jill:

“I’d like to turn it over to Jill for any comments she has. It’s all yours, kid.”

This is footage of the first full cabinet meeting President Biden has held in 11 months. That’s no surprise, of course; everyone knows Biden is in the grip of senile dementia and has spent more time flat on his back at Delaware beaches this year than he has spent on doing his job. 

But why is Jill Biden seated at the head of the table where the President should sit? She doesn’t hold any office. No one voted for her. She is quite literally just some guy’s wife.

And why does the new White House stationery bear Jill’s signature underneath Joe’s? 

Let’s see what X users have to say about our new first overlady. 

Ari here has a point—were you able to understand much of what Joe Biden said in the video above?

Paul puts his finger on the truth with this one:
