From article From Russian Collusion to “Bloodbath”—A Decade of Toxic Hysteria. Victor Davis Hanson. March 10, 2024.
Ever since late June 2015—following Donald Trump’s announcement he was running for president, and his voicing of controversial agendas (on tariffs, China, illegal immigration, foreign policy, NATO, etc.)—LEFTWING TOXIC HYSTERIA HAS BEEN THE NORM.
…
IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, WE’VE WITNESSED
the Russian collusion hoax,
the Alfa ping hoax,
the drink bleach hoax,
the “suckers” D-Day hoax,
the celebrities’ contest about the best way to decapitate, stab, blow up, shoot, or incinerate Trump,
the 2016 leftwing postelection effort to turn state electors into “faithless” apostates to elect Hillary,
the nutty Mark Milley call to his Chinese counterpart,
the Antifa/BLM riotous months of 2020 and effort to storm the White House grounds,
the two first-term impeachments,
the laptop “Russian disinformation” hoax,
the pee accusation, the “51 intelligence authorities” ruse,
the FBI hiring of Twitter censors to suppress unwanted news,
the Senate trial of a private citizen,
the January 6 “insurrection” where “five police officers were killed” lie,
the farcical two Republican members of the Jan 6 committee,
the attempt to remove Trump from state ballots,
the insane E. Jean Carroll suit,
the Letitia James “find me the man, and I’ll find you the crime” writ,
the monstrous $355 million fine growing daily to $450,
the Alvin Bragg bootstrapping of an inert federal suit,
the Fani Willis/Nathan Wade circus,
the Jack Smith antithesis to Robert Hur’s twin investigation,
the effort to bankrupt the Republican nominee
…
And of course the constant calls
to pack the court (when the Left lost the majority),
to end the filibuster (when Democrats control the Senate),
to add two new states and four new senators (provided they are DC and Puerto Rico)
and to END THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE (ONCE THE LEFT LOST THE SURETY OF THE RELIABLE BLUE WALL)
…
What is the effect of all this decade-long civil strife on the 2024 voter?
There are two knowns and two unknowns from this UNPRECEDENTED EFFORT TO DESTROY RATHER THAN DEFEAT AT THE POLLS DONALD J. TRUMP.
…
First, we now know THE MORE THEY HAVE TRIED TO DESTROY TRUMP THROUGH MEDIA LIES AND DISTORTIONS, LAWFARE, AND EXTRA-LEGAL MEANS, THE GREATER HIS RESILIENCY AND POPULARITY.
Two, we also realize the greater the anti-Trump hysteria, venom, and furor on the Left, the more leftists melt down and project their own paranoias onto Trump.
They think something like: “If we were Trump, and we were smeared with the stuff we are dishing out, we know what we do to our tormentors when we got power.
So naturally Trump will do to us what we would to us in his place.”
…
Their projection then turns into our now DAILY UNHINGED SCREAMS TRUMP WILL “TAKE REVENGE” AND “DEMAND RETRIBUTION”, ENSURE A “BLOODBATH”, AND “END DEMOCRACY”—and “therefore we have to double down to employ even more extra-legal means to destroy him”.
Of the unknowns, we are somewhat unsure about the cumulative effect of this historic effort to warp the electoral system to destroy a candidate, and in at least two regards.
…
One, as the Left ramps up its hatred and frenzy over the next seven months before the election, and they surely will, WHAT WILL BE EFFECT ON INDEPENDENTS, SWING VOTERS, AND THE UNDECIDED?
Will they grow incensed at the damage the Left is doing to the country and react by supporting Trump all the more?
…
Or, alternatively, will they finally curl up, fetal-like, with hands over ears, and simply whimper and wish for someone to make all this conundrum go away—and along with it THE DISRUPTER TRUMP, WHO, HOWEVER MUCH THE VICTIM, STILL SOMEHOW IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSANE REACTION HE ELICITS FROM THE LEFT?
…
As far as the second unknown in the upcoming months, could or would Trump as the Happy Warrior better finesse the vitriol to his own advantage by joking about his tormentors’ insanity, using Reaganesque humor to ridicule his critics, or simply shrug, stick to business, ignore the madness, and press on?
CAN TRUMP UNITE THE COUNTRY BY RISING ABOVE THE TIT-FOR-TAT TAUNTS AND PUT-DOWNS?
That is, should he not avoid his gratuitous slights (often against fellow Republicans like DeSantis and Haley), curb silly stuff like “birdbrain” and the usual social media ridicule?
…
Or does it even matter at this late date—given THE LEFT WILL DISTORT ANYTHING TRUMP SAYS ANYWAY—AS WE JUST WITNESSED WITH THE “BLOODBATH” PSYCHODRAMA, and the laughable spin to suggest Trump was calling for insurrection rather than the damage Biden will do to the automotive industry?
…
Are we reaching a point, then, where it does not matter how carefully Trump speaks and how ecumenical he might sound, given WHATEVER TRUMP SAYS OR DOES WILL STILL BE DISTORTED GIVEN THE EXISTENTIAL HATRED FOR WHO HE IS, what he represents, and what his agendas might portend?
…
Add up what we know and the things we know we don’t know, and it is going to be a wild, dangerous next seven months in which WE ARE GOING TO WITNESS THINGS FROM THE LEFT NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN THIS COUNTRY.

“It is going to be a wild, dangerous next seven months in which we are going to witness things from the Left never seen before in this country.”
Dem socialists are desperate to win the November presidential election and will do anything and everything (again) to cement zeir Dems-dominant government ascendency.
Per HATomic philosophy half of people everywhere be negative misery-wuvver demi-commies wanting All us to be fully-commie.
To dem socialists here and everywhere socialism’s past success has been zat always brings more misery.
To dem socialists here and everywhere socialism’s past failure has been it has not been able to blanket over, carpet down, cement and spread over Earth zeir deadhead, negative anti-Gott/HAT, certain-other-wuvver’s (Satan’s) completely awful, misery rot.
Zei prefer to be victims complaining not victors gaining.
…
Dem hebi-blue negative misery-wuvvers (we’re united victims and victimizers):
· enjoy feeling sorry for themselves
· enjoy being felt sorry for by others
· enjoy feeling sorry for others
· enjoy duping and forcing misery-wuv on We other side living positive happy-lovers, hoping zeir brain-deadening brainwashing will induce All We to stand around, bow down, give in, and join dem
…
We and They see and know Zei now be well on their way to achieving zeir global hell-goal, which be
· corrupt, bankrupt and weaken We-America
· then allow in Xi-China to finish zeir job, providing a shortcut to final, actual, global full misery-equity Communism, the Kim-North Korea model expanded across all lands.
…
We Real Reps must awaken and step up and save ourselves, Dems from demselves, China, and the entire Earth, positive mirth must defeat negative dearth.
As HATrs We All will turn round squares and progress Forward to All tHAT love’s sweet plan, but it will be against the wishes of half of people who will against will be rewarded by, experience and relish it nevertheless.
Reps must change, Dems must remain the same, We’ll turn zeir mire into fire.
Everyone is good but 47.5% are unfortunate and sing the wrong songs.
All the above be veracity and/or efficacy, Reps must accept and act, Dems must reject and react, zei still be so dull and so boring so dull and so boring so dull and so boring so dull and so boring…
We’ll All go together as (mixed) purple people to wealth and happiness excess utopia, with dem dire but desired negatives fussing, dragging, nagging and firing us up forever.
HAT’s All Over Now Hebi Blue.
