The honeymoon is over. After the 2024 election of Donald Trump, a lot of conservatives felt hope for the first time in years. You could just tell that people were more optimistic out on the streets. Though they’d never admit it, even liberals were acting less lunatic for a time.
Forget it now. The reality of a Republic White House and Congress has fully sunk in for the left, and they’ve descended right back into full madness. All of our peculiar American neuroses are on full display. Race relations is one of the biggest. After 17-year-old black Karmelo Anthony stabbed 17-year-old white Austin Metcalf to death the killer’s family launched a fundraiser and excoriated the dead kid and his father with accusations of “racism.” That it was even socially possible to be an admitted killer and launch a fundraiser that netted half-a-million dollars tells us everything we need to know about the character of our country.
Now the left is losing its mind over the arrival of persecuted white farm families arriving as refugees in the United States. White people and blacks alike on the left are calling these people “racists” who aren’t really persecuted, even though white farmers are being killed by savage black Africans all the time. The country’s government just passed a law allowing it to steal land from white farmers to give it to black people on the grounds of “equity.” Yet “media elite” like Don Lemon, formerly of CNN, feels comfortable breezily mocking these refugees and saying they deserve what they get.
The Associated Press is fairly chuckling, putting “genocide” in quotation marks as if it were self-evidently absurd to believe that white people could ever be the victims of ethnic cleansing.
Same with our political elite. Former FBI Director James Comey, nominally a Republican, but also a “never Trumper” who got his hands dirty trying to soil Donald Trump, posted a picture on social media that he’s now pretending did not mean what it obviously meant. The picture, shown in the X post below, depicts sea shells on a beach. They are arranged to spell out the numbers “8647.” What does that mean? To “86” something means to get rid of it. Forty-seven refers to the fact that Trump is the 47th president. Yes, it sounds like “numerology” but it’s not; people actually use these numbers to mean “get rid of President Trump.”
People noticed. Those people include Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, who said, “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of [President] Trump. DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.”
Let’s see how the X-using public reacted to Noem’s post.
Naturally, leftist lunatic Ed Krassenstein is there to say it’s everyone else, not Comey and the left, who is “dangerous.”
Others are also pretending Comey’s tweet could not plausibly be read as a call to violence. You’d almost think they forgot that Trump survived two assassination attempts last year.
