The Left has only one point of serenity remaining as it swirls around the toilet of its own catabolic collapse, and that is the misguided notion that karma does not exist for their side. Though they ostensibly champion fairness, the Left has become synonymous with cheating, gaslighting, lying, and naked election fraud.

What Could Have Been: Carter 2.0

Sans "assistance" from Democratic Party operatives, Bernie Sanders arguably would have given Trump a hearty dose of competition had the Democrats let his campaign run its natural course instead of drowning it before the 2016 primaries. It is my opinion that Bernie would have been a second Jimmy Carter. Largely incompetent and inept, Sanders would have engaged in naive, Carter-esque brinksmanship in a way that Trump could only balk at. Americans would have gained free health care and college and at the price of a series of bank holidays. Economic collapse of some sort seems to have been written into the cards. This would have fomented a different sort of civil war than the one we are experiencing today. Bernie, like Jimmy, would have been a one-term president.

Despite his ineptitude, Bernie Sanders would have ended Pedogate in a way Trump with all his swamp-draining could never accomplish: by squashing Clinton like a bug at the first primaries, Pedogate would have gone mostly unexamined. Given their pound of flesh in the election arena, Pedogaters would have receded from the scene. Celebrities would have largely maintained their status as tastemakers and thought leaders. Most people do not want to live in a world where every celebrity and politician is suspected of depraved and horrible acts involving children. A Sanders presidency would have deflated Pedogate's bubble. Without an adversary to contrast themselves against, Republicans would have continued to be the party of rich Protestant property owners instead of lower middle class Deplorable property renters. Only Trump was able to thrust snooty Fox News Republicans onto the side of Larry the Cable Guy populists; the divide between the Middle and the Coasts was much less stark in 2013.

Trump's Unintentional Election Campaign

The Democrats, with their incessant Cruella De Vil toddler tantrums and ridiculous portrayals of Trump as the evil troll of the fairy story, made Trump possible and elected him in spite of themselves. I have often wondered if Democratic antics such as the choice of Hillary Clinton and then Joe Biden aren't a clever Republican psy-op meant to cement eternal rule by the Republican party. Everything Democrats do seems expressly designed to enhance Trump's appeal. If they actually didn't want Trump re-elected, the average Democrat would affect a bored, indifferent demeanor whenever Trump was mentioned. Furthermore, if they wanted to help their side get elected, they would be acting on a personal level in accordance with the values they preached. When they spoke of racial income disparity, it would be meaningful, because they would speak after they had given up their highly paid, benefits-included salary to free the job up for a "person of color". They would do this from a modest house or apartment in a poor, multi-racial neighborhood where whites, blacks, Latinos, and Asians lived cheek to jowl. There would be no empty Marxist words spilled by bourgeois mouths: Democrats of all colors who championed the poor blacks would live exactly like the poor blacks... as their next door neighbors.

Instead, privileged Democrats cry, scream, hex, cheat, riot, vandalize, loot, curse and then virtue signal about how they're fighting against oppression. If they put their considerable energy into championing the equality they claim to care so much about, they could be a force for good, but alas. Instead, they are content to rest on their party's moth-eaten laurels. In the Democratic Party's heyday of the 1960s, they fought for peace and their record producers developed some groovy artists! The 1960s fetish is prevalent in Democratic Party messaging because it represents the last time the Democratic Party was relevant. To make matters worse, Candace Owens and her ilk have excoriated the Democratic Party for its white-hooded beginnings and its nasty habit of creating segregated brutalist ghettoes in big cities. Only black pro sports athletes and television/movie stars have truly benefitted from Democratic policy making over the last 60 years, it seems, and membership in that elite club comes at the price of one's human decency, according to Pedogate.

Democrats only hurt themselves when they sneer at the voting bloc they alienated. Instead of admitting that the lower classes saw benefits from Trump's policies (policies that were promised for decades and not delivered upon by Democrats) such as the end of the TPP and the reworking of NAFTA, the end of the Obamacare penalty, and increased tax breaks for families and businesses, Democrats doubled down on outrage culture, insisting that transexual males needed access to women's bathrooms while screaming Orange Man Bad.

Much Ado About Nothing

Meanwhile, Trump was doing so well in his management role, the Democratic party decided to roll out the Tantrum to End All Tantrums: COVID-19. Anyone who has done the slightest amount of research on the Black Death knows approximately how bad a plague can get: the Black Death killed 9 out of 10 people in London in 1349. The Black Death killed 25% of all people on planet Earth before it finished its rounds. Covid-19 has killed 155,000 in the US (155K is a ginned up, exaggerated number that includes cancer and gunshot victims) which gives it a mortality rate of 0.00047256097. In Sweden, a country that took minimal precautions where COVID was concerned, has suffered 5790 deaths in a population of 10.23 million. This translates to a 0.0005659824 mortality rate. Sweden, of course, did not shut down its economy, so it has not seen a rash of overdoses and suicides because of lockdown like we have in the US.

Trump's administration differed in another key way from business as usual expectations: he and his team prosecuted human traffickers with a special focus on child traffickers. Ivanka Trump held a summit in early 2020 to combat human trafficking and Trump signed an Executive Order to the same effect. These concrete actions, along with tightened security at the US's southern border, showed that the Trumps were serious about attempting to punish traffickers despite the predictable pooh-poohing by leftist media pundits.

Tarnished Legacies

Forces conspired to trash the legacy of Bill Clinton's presidency and with it, the image of the Obama presidency. Clinton's proclivity for intercourse with girls, including those under the age of consent on Jeffrey Epstein's plane and island, along with his wife's complete failure to relate to anyone outside of her own class of One Percenters, was the seal of doom. Obama, with his smooth demeanor and his behind the scenes Chicago machine politician sociopathy, was implicated in Pedogate multiple times. Notably, a leaked email raises eyebrows over the Obamas order of 65,000 dollars worth of "hot dogs" to the White House during the Obama presidency. Outside food is not allowed at the White House for security reasons and hot dog is known pedophile code for little boys. The mainstream media has screamed "fake news" about any tidbit like this one that serves to tarnish the memory of the first half-black President, however, the email in question came from Wikileaks, which exposed the Podestas, the Clintons, and a crew of other players right before the 2016 election, so it's fairly clear from 2016's election results that the damage has been done. The Obamas and the Clintons lost their appeal. Trump, on the other hand, picked up the slack.

The Democratic Party and the Left in the US, in my opinion, is a sinking Titanic. It is irreparably damaged and it will never achieve the kind of power and influence it had when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. The capsizing of the ship cannot be avoided for leftists. The matter at hand is how leftists who don't want to go down with the ship will survive the coming wave of retribution.

What's A Leftist To Do?

Leftists can ameliorate what is coming their way by walking away from the Democratic Party, of course, but I'd like to talk about less dramatic and more personal ways to deflect what is coming if one is on the Left and planning to stay there.

Number One: We Need To Talk

In a country founded on the ideal of freedom of speech, there is not a single person who has a right to censor, doxx, harass, or threaten someone based on speech alone. If you don't want to talk about Pedogate, fine, but stop expecting that others aren't going to want to talk about it more when you won't allow it in your presence. Don't shame someone for being a Pedogate/Pizzagate conspiracy freak unless you've done the homework. Admit there is something to it.

Stop the TDS

From the beginning, Trump's campaigns have only been strengthened by leftist hysteria. Trump succeeds in direct proportion to the amount of leftist cursing and frivolous aggravation he receives. Had the Left taken a neutral "meh" attitude towards him in 2014, he would not be President now. It's never too late to shrug and move on. Just as die hard Republicans survived Clinton and Obama, die hard Democrats will survive Trump. If you are tempted to go on at length about Trump being the epitome of evil, take a break, cool off, and do something constructive, preferably something that involves physical activity.

Leave the COVID Camp

Quietly refuse to take part in online shouting matches over mask mandates, distancing, and other social controls that are more symbolic than utilitarian. To the Deplorables, COVID controls are a ruse to oppress their class by killing their businesses and laying waste to small towns Trump managed to partially rebuild from 2016 - 2020. To Pedogaters, COVID lockdowns were an invention to help child traffickers fly under the radar. Allow people to go back to games, concerts, weddings, and funerals. If you see your neighbor having a party or people thronging at a re-opened business, shut up about it. Pedogate research gained massive popularity because people had the free time to do it at home. Take away that free time by replacing it with bread and circuses and Pedogate will become unappealing by way of distraction.

Eschew Celebrity and Celebrity Culture

If you have any transparent ambitions to become extremely wealthy or famous, mask them now and for the foreseeable future. Celebrities are the new disgraced class. If they become Pedogate untouchables, their heads as well as the heads of any out and proud leftists will end up on pikes. Pedogaters literally think anyone of extreme wealth or fame is a Satanic pedophile. Keep that in mind if you're determined to chase stardom or high stakes investment banking.

End Class Warfare by Starting With Yourself

Much of class warfare is the irrational fear of other people that manifests as snobbishness, irritability, road rage, and online trolling. Rise above it. Other people are not out to get you -- they're far too busy worrying about themselves. Also, stop painting every other person that exists outside you and your bubble as stupid, unless you wish to be seen in the same harsh light. Give people the benefit of the doubt whenever it is possible. We are all going through rough times. During the times you must avoid people, be courteous about it. One must set firm limits in all areas of life in order to be happy, but we needn't be rude or melodramatic about it. Look people in the eye and don't pity them as lesser than you. Think good and hard about the bigotry of low expectations and the way you view other people. Root out the fear of others via deeply honest self-examination. Live cheaply and lightly and give the tiniest bit of excess away instead of putting it into displays of ostentation or vanity. You try to do this and I will do the same. Be blessed.

Good advice Kimberley, but I am afraid that few leftists will take it. From the outside looking in, the Left seems to be cursed with the insanity you previously described as demonic possession and the madness has a natural course that must be followed. Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, waits impatiently for her appointment with America.

Hollywood : "We keep making these movies and toys that sexualize ever younger children, why do these idiots keep believing in QAnon conspiracies about pedophiles and cannibals? I just don't understand!"

I mean, maybe the first step that Leftists should take before any of the other things you mention in the post is stop giving everyone else evidence that they're right?

There are a few interesting extra elements about Cuties in particular.

This is set in France but in the context of a Senegalese muslim family, and the families they are rebelling against are traditional African / Muslim families. Apparently this is somewhat of a controversy among conservative muslim families in France already, and the movie was inspired by the existing behavior of the kids these days.

I know that all the QAnon stuff focuses on the Hollywood undermining of Christian morality and focuses on the corruption of "The West" but goodness me, perhaps they felt like they were being a bit exclusionary with their exploitation? Maybe they were afraid they would be called "Racists" for their focus on white western girls' bodies? You'll notice that this movie doesn't appear to be condemning the behavior, but rather glamorizes it.

I've heard it claimed the only reason someone would object to the sexualization of children is if they feel aroused by it and are uncomfortable about that. So by that logic only closet pedophiles will see anything wrong here, and once you start accepting logic like that, it's very hard, if not impossible, to be able to concede any ground. After all, who wants to cave to pedophiles?

I mean, it just doesn't make sense to me. Bill Clinton is, well, Bill Clinton. I'd frankly be astonished if he hasn't done something with underaged women, considering this is the guy who had oral sex in the oval office with a girl less than half his age. So for people to insist that he's innocent and only pedophiles would ever accuse him of anything is baffling. There are other people to defend, and all the effort being wasted on Clinton just serves to discredit them....

There's a kernel of truth in arguments like that, in that you can see a long list of blazingly anti-gay politicians who were forced out of the closet in scandal.

There's also a bit of truth in that people fight hardest to suppress in others what they fear most in themselves.

In complete isolation, this is worth remembering.

At the same time, using this observation as a defense mechanism against people who want to prevent you from harming children when that harm appears to be widespread, and in some cases documented right before our eyes... is transparent.

The argument holds best if you have someone who's freaking out about something out of nowhere. The kind of person who reads innuendos into everything and links everything to the gay agenda, probably is gay. The kind of person who dislikes homosexuality and thinks "Drag Queen Story Hour" isn't appropriate for their kids is not that.

Likewise, someone who finds pedophilia everywhere very likely is one: but the kind of person who looks at the way media sexualizes children and draws some very uncomfortable conclusions probably isn't, in my opinion at least.

I had to look it up because I hadn't heard anything about it, and the response from the company doesn't make any sense. Why would the doll be designed to make those sounds when seated? Plus, I'd think they'd mention something about that on the packaging. It looks really bad for Hasbro.

If I had kids I'd probably need to look into this, but since I don't right now, I can just note there are apparently sexalized toys being marketed for kids. And then our elites wonder why the masses are convinced a lot of them are involved in pedophilia and other unsavory activities....

Every time I see one of those, I just... scratch my head. Manufacturing isn't just some guy at a workbench making random stuff for sale. It's legions of people coming up with the design, building the models, designing the packaging, product testing, extruding plastic into the molds, applying decals, packing, shipping, shelving... there are probably hundreds of people directly involved in getting that thing to market. And *nobody* stopped to say "Gosh, I'm not sure this is really appropriate for little kids..." ? How does this happen?

Thus are pedo conspiracy theories born...

Though to be fair, I've seen that video, and those dolls aren't wearing anything we wouldn't see on Cher or Beyonce or pop-tart of the month in a public performance. IMO it's fair to talk about whether those performers should be appearing in anything other than adult venues. But currently that's what is deemed OK for public consumption (By whom? is also a legit question here).

This has nothing to do with pedogate, but with what I as an unwilling part of the left should do.

Years ago I went to work for a local lefty organization in my very very conservative red state. I'm a sort of high level admin flunky for them. All those things you deplore about the left? They fund and foster that in middle America. My employer works to destroy the culture of my homeland. If we were Native-Americans, my employer would fund Indian schools to teach us to stop being Indians.

I could write a book and perhaps someday I will about all that's wrong about this job. John Michael Greer helped me understand that I've never been a lefty or a radical or a liberal. I'm a crunchy con. All my radical positions were arrived at from very traditional Christian teachings. Ex. I'm an environmentalist because God created creation. And so forth.

So I figured all this out years ago and in-between juggling family emergencies I search for a job that will support us all. If I were still young and single I could just quit and work temps, but I'm neither.

When I apply for a job I do not know what to say about why I'm looking to leave these people. I know most employers around here are very conservative. I'm concerned that they'll look up my current employer and say "I don't want her. She's been working for the leftwing lunatic troublemakers for over a decade! We don't want one of those people in this business." So I began putting it in my cover letters that I want to leave because differences in philosophy have grown over the years to the point that I must leave. I put it as vaguely as that and leave it at that. And maybe I shouldn't put it in the cover letter but then what if they look up my employer online? They'll see a website about how people like them are evilly evil...

But I'm concerned that even my carefully crafted vague line leaves an impression of criticizing my employer, which I do, often, to trusted friends. My poor husband is sick of hearing about it.

A few months ago I blew the telephone interview when I was asked what the philosophical difference was that I had with my current employer. What do I say? That at this point it's pretty much everything? That I'm 100 percent against castrating little boys? What?

BTW, I very much like your blog. Best of luck. I'm fiddling around with a book on "sacramental homemaking" so if you'd like to share Christian sources you run across and can't use, please share. Thanks for your writing. I understand I've asked a very hard question.
