The real reason the left is persecuting Trump
Sure, leftists despise him, but there's something more fundamental going on here.
In a just and sane world, the people trying to rip the country apart should never be near the reins of power. The fact that we have descended into a clown world tells you what happens when they do. It also tells you what they are capable of in keeping a death grip on power and why that is extraordinarily dangerous.
The number-one rule for understanding the fascist far left is that they will always accuse the pro-freedom right of what they are doing. And they take charges of hypocrisy as indications of success in this endeavor. So when they incessantly scream on the national socialist media that we're out to destroy democracy, it means they're out to destroy democracy by depriving the people of the candidate of their choice in the next election.
We've documented how the Democrats are increasingly emulating the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party. But they are also working out of the playbook of a third-world banana republic, taking the worst ideas from around the globe. This is their idea of "Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity" — taking authoritarian schemes from every culture to be the baddies across the board.
If there is one fact on the Trump persecution to keep foremost in your mind, it is this: they can and will take this action against any opposition candidates to the far left. President Trump is just their primary focus at the moment.
It's been said that the average person commits three felonies a month. Gov. Gavin Newsom has "seemingly" threatened Gov. Ron DeSantis with kidnapping charges for sending illegal invaders to Sacramento. They'll just "show you the crime" if you show them the man.
So the solemn discussions of the serious charges are just a distraction. Were President Trump to drop out of the race tomorrow, they would pivot and go after the next top challenger. Everyone should know that this isn't about one man and "mean tweets."
The fascist far left have clearly gotten over the ugliness of acting authoritarian, and they've found their new low, freeing in many ways, with many advantages of acting like the worst of any banana republic. They're like a prostitute who's become used to a certain lifestyle or a drug addict who needs his next high — a party that embodies the ethos of Hunter Biden but without the class and artistic skills with brush and canvas. The benefits they've gained from doing this are going to be a crutch for them, and something they will use from now on until their party is replaced with something decent. So let's cite them specifically so that everyone understands the full importance of why they keep doing this.
1. A ready-made distraction.
Just think about it. All they need are some "trumped up" charges (isn't it funny how words work?) and an ever-eager national socialist media, and any bad Biden news can be driven off the news cycle. Back in the day, President Clinton had to use military force to sink news of his scandals. All it takes these days is some creative charges, and it's off to the races, illustrated by the last few days of reportage on the charges, reaction to the charges, analysis of the charges, reaction to the analysis of the charges, and so on.
This works a lot better than their usual tactic of the trivial distraction game. This is where the fascists of the far left repeatedly emphasize trivial instances from the pro-freedom right to hide egregious examples from their side, such as claiming that age-appropriate categories are "book bans" to cover their rampant censorship.
2. Designed to infuriate everyone on the pro-freedom right.
There's an old joke about government alphabet agencies like the ATF and FAA: "They're not happy until you're not happy." What better way of making people mad than continually going after the people from the pro-freedom right while they laud the far left?
How many times do they have to repeat the cliché "no one is above the law" when anyone with common sense knows that doesn't apply to the anti-liberty left side of the aisle? Would it shock anyone to find out later that they were just saying that to provoke the pro-freedom right?
The nation's socialist media spent a stunning 291 Minutes on Trump Indictment, 0 Seconds on Biden Burisma Bribery on June 8, demonstrating that they no longer care about objectivity, much less if Biden is "above the law." If that doesn't infuriate the fair-minded, nothing will.
3. Showing their power and subjugating the people.
What better way of acting like fascist authoritarian dictators — and accusing the right of doing that at the same time (see reason number 2)? Then they ignore the rule of law and do whatever they want. The other night, Tucker Carlson referenced a man being fired for committing an undefined offense that no one knew was a crime. Compare that to criminals in the revolving door of justice.
Even worse, we have President Trump being charged with crimes that pale in comparison to those of Beijing Biden, a darling of the Chinese Communist Party. This is the man who threw open the border to fentanyl and a Chinese illegal invasion.
4. Hoping it becomes a provocation like Jan. 6, 2021.
The last and most dangerous benefit is that they are hoping all of these infuriating distractions designed to show our subjection will cause us to lash out. This is a case of their belief in their own bovine soil enhancement.
Remember, these are people who marinate in their echo chambers 24/7. We're surrounded by the nation's socialist media sources, inundated with their lies and propaganda, no matter what we do. Such is not the case with our "comrades" of the collectivist far left. They can listen to National Propaganda Radio, read the best bird cage liners, watch CNN and MSNBC, and consider that they are getting a "balanced" view on the news, between the fascist far-left viewpoint and the slightly less fascist far-left viewpoint.
Part of their echo chamber ethos is that they are "peaceful" and "tolerant" while they burn down cities. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, epitomized their attitude of needing to "force behaviors." This is what happens with bad ideas: you either have to lie about them or force them on people. The far left do both in spades, and then they project that on the pro-freedom right — sort of like the ladies of The View talking about people not reading the Constitution.
Thankfully, most of us on the pro-freedom right aren't going to take the bait and act like leftists after all. We're simply going to assess the situation and realize that this is a desperate crybully move that is going to make them look far worse in the end.

The following table outlines some of the differences
between a constitutional republic and a democracy:
DEMOCRACY
– Ruled by a majority that enjoys unlimited power. Minority groups have no protection.
– Individuals can make their own decisions except in those situations that the majority
has limited.
– While all citizens supposedly have a say in government and are to be treated as equals, the majority often ends up tyrannically ruling the minority.
– The United States is commonly confused for a democracy. However, the will of the people should not, and does not, change the rules that limit the government’s power.
– Freedom of religion is permitted to the extent that the majority does not limit religious freedom for the minority.
– Private property is permitted, though the majority may place limits on the property rights of the minority.
REPUBLIC
– Follows a written Constitution that protects the rights of the minority from being infringed upon by the majority.
– Generally, individuals can make their own decisions, especially in situations
where the Constitution protects their “unalienable rights.”
– Generally, all citizens are supposed to have an equal say and be treated equally, especially as protected under the Constitution
– Article 4, Section 4 defines the United States as a Republic.
– Generally, religious freedom is permitted, especially as protected under the Constitution.
– Generally, private property is permitted, especially as protected under the Constitution.

Republic
republic n 1 : a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and is usually a president; also : a nation or other political unit having such a government 2 : a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; also : a nation or other political unit having such a form of government Source: NMW
In the context of the United States, both definitions apply.

This response from the AI search engine admits the stupid Left are doing all they can in their weaponizing language to destroy our Constitution and therefore the U.S. They weaponize language through word/etymology changes, sentence structure, vagueness, fake news (mass gun shootings, stabbings, police brutality [it does exist, but not to the extent they claim], etc.
"The American Constitution indeed protects the people and constrains the government. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the country and serves as a framework for the government's powers and limitations [Source 0]. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Separation of Powers: The Constitution's first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, dividing the federal government into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial. This separation ensures a system of checks and balances, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful [Source 0].
2. Bill of Rights: The Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which enumerates certain fundamental rights and liberties of the people. These rights include freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, as well as protections against unreasonable search and seizure, self-incrimination, and cruel and unusual punishment [Source 6].
3. Second Amendment: The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It is one of the rights explicitly protected by the Constitution and has been the subject of much debate and interpretation [Source 1].
4. Due Process: The Fifth Amendment ensures that citizens cannot be subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process. It protects against double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and establishes the power of eminent domain [Source 6].
5. Judicial Review: The Constitution provides for judicial review, which allows the courts to review the constitutionality of laws and government actions. This power allows the judiciary to strike down laws that violate the Constitution and protect the rights of individuals [Source 0].
While the Constitution provides a strong framework for protecting the people and constraining the government, there are ongoing debates and interpretations regarding the extent of these protections. It is important to note that the interpretation of the Constitution can vary over time and among different individuals and groups.
Some argue that the Constitution should be interpreted strictly, adhering closely to the original intent of the framers. Others advocate for a more flexible interpretation that takes into account societal changes and evolving understandings of rights. These differing viewpoints can lead to debates and legal challenges regarding the scope and application of constitutional protections.
In conclusion, the American Constitution does protect the people and place constraints on the government through the separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, due process, and judicial review. However, the interpretation and application of these protections can vary, leading to ongoing discussions and legal debates. It is important for citizens to stay informed and engaged in these discussions to ensure the continued protection of their rights.”
As long as Americans allow politicians, “health” agencies, and others to get away with weaponizing language an any way, shape, and form, then America is dead.

Quote from Mike Stone:
"Meanings matter. One does not get to change the long-held meaning of a word in order to prove their belief as if it is a fact. What people fail to realize is that when *virologists (and Steve’s friends) discuss isolation, *they have entirely changed the meaning of the word itself.”
THERE WAS NO PANDEMIC:
"The word pandemic used to have a very specific meaning. It was used to describe a scenario where there was extensive incapacitation of key workers and large numbers of deaths, including young people.
Using this long-established definition of the word, we conclude that there was in fact no global pandemic in 2020. The word was deliberately misapplied and weaponised against an unsuspecting public."

“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent too. Words are used to disguise, not illuminate,” warned George Orwell.
A generation back, *historian Paul Johnson sounded his own prescient alarm:
"[O]ne principal way in which our civilization is rendered vulnerable to the assaults of its enemies (and false friends) is by the undermining of linguistic truth. [Language] is the bloodstream of our culture, the real infrastructure of civilization…. Words can be prostituted and debauched, damaged by use, misuse or intent, rendered untruthful or treacherous, devalued or aggrandized, stood, as it were, on their heads, or turned inside out…."
More succinctly, Stalin, Goebbels or one of the twentieth-century’s Big Bad Guys is alleged to have said, “He who *controls the language rules the world.”
This century’s secular Progressives understand this principle, leveraging it masterfully, waylaying word usage to coax along or, failing that, bully along transformation in people and the civilization around them.
“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant *pervert the plain Meaning of Words!,” *Samuel Adams wrote to John Pitt two-hundred-forty-three-years ago. And the American statesman/Founding Father was not only correct but foresightful. Modern-day Leftism/Progressivism is, at its core, tyrannical and it employs language to warp perceptions of reality, because reality is opposed to most Leftist/Progressive tenets.
None but fools surrender the integrity of language without a fight.
The call to modify public language is motivated by a desire to achieve a political aim.
This is what Orwell meant when he said that those who control language are able to determine what is considered to be true, what we are allowed to think.
One of the key features of the language wars is to make a link between certain words and the rise of hate crimes. This is done through labelling certain words and ideas as forms of ‘*hate speech’. Once a *word is *rebranded as an act of hate, it can be discredited on the basis that it encourages *violence.
The Left doesn't own words & their meanings, people. Stop allowing them to think they do.
