The American left has lost its mind, and the media seem unbothered
Key takeaways
- For the last decade, legacy news outlets have produced endless handwringing over the rise of President Trump and MAGA-aligned Republicans.
- The radical progressive and socialist takeover of the Democratic Party poses an equal, if not greater, problem.
- The last three years have seen a flurry of activity both inside and outside the political space, suggesting a shift toward ever-more extreme and revolutionary leftist activity.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
For the last decade, legacy news outlets have produced endless handwringing over the rise of President Trump and MAGA-aligned Republicans. And what some have called a hostile takeover of the Republican Party has indeed been a problem, arguably turning the party into a personality cult. But at least it has been acknowledged.
The radical progressive and socialist takeover of the Democratic Party poses an equal, if not greater, problem. But one would hardly know it, given our media s selective sense of urgency.
The last three years have seen a flurry of activity both inside and outside the political space, suggesting a shift toward ever-more extreme and revolutionary leftist activity. There have been at least three assassination attempts against President Trump, a targeted political assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk (celebrated publicly by a shocking, embarrassing number of liberals), multiple deadly or potentially deadly attacks on government facilities and officers by leftist radicals, and actual hostage-taking by pro-Hamas student activists.
