The corporate media and the Democratic establishment are busy self-flagellating about the election, trying to find a way to blame ourselves for a military takedown of the oldest democracy in the world.
No, we did not “do this to ourselves.”
No, we do not “have to learn to talk to people.”
English is fine. Language works. The problem comes when the recipient of factual information is so brainwashed by psychological warfare there is nothing you can say to convince them. We all know these people. You cannot persuade them, or influence them. Logic and reason are moot. QAnon and MAGA are death cults, not political movements.
It is a fundamental problem with our political establishment that we set up a system where one side cheats, bribes and steals to win, and the other sits around pointing fingers at themselves.
We just experienced a controlled demolition of democracy using propaganda, psyops and active measures. The strategy, tactics, and battle plans of this operation have been well-documented. The election was not “democratic” because the population was voting in two completely separate realities, one of which was created by our enemies.
Democracy assumes a baseline of facts about the world. But facts have been intentionally blurred into lies and conspiracy theories. We must stop blaming ourselves for this. It’s not a “messaging” problem. It’s a war that we are still trying to win with politics.
The only way to win a war is to recognize it and fight back on the battlefield that exists, not the one you hope for, or remember from days gone by. We need generals, not politicians. We need strategy, tactics, and a clear-eyed understanding of the actual facts on the ground. Instead we are treated to more and more suffocating normalization as the punditocracy desperately tries to frame this as a political failure.
No. This was a failure of the establishment to understand the situation. It was a categorical failure of the government to recognize and deal with a national security emergency. This administration allowed the people who planned and executed J6 not only to remain free, but to win the White House again. That’s not a political failure that’s a surrender, to enemies foreign and domestic.
It is not my fault, or your fault, that a cabal of psychopaths decided to take over America. It’s not our fault that the establishment failed to prevent “total information dominance” over our citizens. It’s not our fault that Joe Biden hired a feckless Attorney General and allowed Chris Wray to dog-walk us into fascism.
The time for blaming ourselves is over. The time to go to war is upon us — not a war of violence but to destroy the psychological war machine that’s has metastasized into this Orwellian alternate reality.
We did not “do this to ourselves” but we are going to have to get ourselves out of it. That will not be accomplished by navel-gazing and circular firing squads.

Thank you for saying this. Since 11/6, pundits have been talking incessantly about what Harris or the Dems did wrong as if this was a "normal" election between two "normal" candidates under "normal" circumstances. What is wrong with these people? By ignoring the most important factor in determining the outcome of this election (information warfare against the American public), they are helping our enemies (foreign and domestic) to rewrite our norms. Nothing about this campaign or the election should be considered "normal!"
And for the last week or so, we’re hearing from statistician Steven Spoonamore, reporting about the extreme amount of bullet ballots being filed in the swing states – they’re probably illegal. It seems we need to have recounts, but only Kamala Harris can ask for those recounts.
