One of the highlights of election night last week was watching the meltdown of MSNBC hosts1 like Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, and Rachel Maddow, among others2. Of course, there were some on CNN3 who deserve dishonorable4 mentions, and ABC5 also threw some ugly comments. We do call it the Leftmedia for a reason.

Is it very different from the hatred6 and lies7 that have been peddled long before Donald Trump rode the escalator to announce his 2016 presidential bid? No, it’s just a continuation of that lengthy list8 that started long before Trump entered the political arena.

But those lies — lies that the Leftmedia eagerly spreads — have consequences9. Can anybody doubt that the lies and hatred thrown at Trump motivated the bulk-mail ballots10, the targeting of conservative media11, and “Zuck Bucks”12 that “fortified”13 the 2020 election? Of course, because of the lies, many on the Left believed that America’s soul was at stake. Loyal Patriot Post readers should ask themselves how far they would go to save America’s soul.

This lack of civility has had other effects, too. Does anyone doubt that the shooting14 at a Republican practice for the 2017 congressional baseball game by a Bernie Bro didn’t stem, at least partially, from the claims that Republican healthcare plans would leave tens of thousands dead15? The media went after Sarah Palin16 in the wake of the murder rampage in Tucson with far less evidence (but a lot more hate). The cries of racism17 have come from the Leftmedia again, and like other claims18 of racism, they’re not just lies, they’re triple whoppers with bacon and cheese (with apologies to the delicious Burger King menu item).

Of course, they claim it was Trump who was the threat to our constitutional republic, even as they utterly destroyed norms and standards19 to get him. Add the comments of Maxine Waters20 and her long track record21 of incitement, and it seems that the Leftmedia is okay with that sort of incendiary rhetoric22.

Here’s something to consider: By the Left’s rules, Trump’s speech on January 6 was cause for impeachment, even though he clearly called for peaceful protest. So what about all this stuff from the likes of MSNBC, CNN, and various left-wingers? That, too, warrants consequences, and those consequences don’t have to include government action.

For instance, this rhetoric clearly justifies the adoption of much stronger safeguards surrounding election procedures, and it also makes certain presumptions on the part of grassroots Patriots reasonable. After hearing the Left’s own words and seeing the meltdown over 2021, wouldn’t it be a good idea to require the use of certified mail23 for both the absentee ballot applications and the ballots themselves, with strong signature verification in order to establish chain of custody?

Worse, there is a lengthy track record24 of physical assaults25, along with a long list of abuses26 of power27 and double standards28 across multiple arenas29, including post-election recounts/audits30.

Quite frankly, if the Leftmedia wonders why grassroots Patriots feel threatened, they just need to look at the clips from their past shows. Because they’re a lot closer to incitement than Trump ever was.
