the most destructive movement of the last ten years wasn't just wokism. it was the media's lockstep anti-trumpism. think about all the horrible decisions related to the biggest calamities we faced. they were excused or denied by the media, because of their irrational opposition to trump. the biggest examples:
-Crime. if you admitted that progressive policies energized criminality and cost many innocent lives - that would put you on the side of Trump. So you can't do that, decides the media. so theft and violence became routine. recidivism exploded.
-immigration. if you admitted that unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country's systems, as well as introducing more violent crime - that would put you on the side of trump. you can't do that - decides the media. So it kept going, and people died.
-Covid. if you admitted that Covid came from China, likely a lab leak - then you were on the side of Trump. So you can' do that either - that would be racist, said the media. instead we embraced absurd notions about bat soup.
-Biden. if you admitted he was unfit for office, and reported on it honestly - you were siding with trump. So you can't do that - in fact - you must say that Joe is better than ever, and those who disagree are cruel, ending up with a rudderless country sinking in chaos.
Looking back - its obvious. A mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink.
So when the media starts hitting the panic button, laugh at them. They caused this mess. We'll clean it up. They no longer matter.

Good moaning. I greet you well.
I'm happily on the mend but must take things at a very slow pace. I hope all of you are hale and hearty.

Last summer, Britain’s political and cultural elites were confronted with an alarming situation. A dangerous social contagion was spreading across the country, seemingly out of nowhere.
