Circle Back Psaki Signals Other Dems It’s Time To Pivot Their Scare-Mongering

In one sense, this ‘No Kings’ protest is an extinction burst. We’ve got one more midterm election where Trump will be a useful bad guy to energize their base. But Dems always have the next ‘Hitler’ waiting in the wings.

And Psaki just signaled her party that it’s time to start moving the goal posts again on who the REALLY scary GOP boogeyman is. Here’s the video.

NEW: Jen Psaki attacks Vice President JD Vance’s marriage, wonders if Second Lady Usha Vance wants out of their marriage because of how “scary” JD is.

Psaki said she would “save” Usha if she just came over to her.

She’s tagging JD Vance as the danagerous new scary threat from the right. Of course she is, because we’re only a year out from the launch of 2028 primaries, and they need to salt the ground under opponents whose ideas they can’t take down on their merits alone.

Dem voters have been conditioned to being a lot more comfortable with violence than they were in days gone by, and while their ‘normie’ followers are more quick to justify political violence than anyone by their revolutionary radicals have been in recent decades, the malice and rhetoric are nothing new.

Younger voters might be forgiven for thinking that Trump is somehow uniquely the ‘most hated Republican leader of ever’. He has, after all, been the subject of several attempts on his life. But that might be a little misleading. He only has that title because he’s the CURRENT leader of their political opposition. As soon as the left decides their biggest threat is a future candidate, they pivot. They did it with Reagan. And GHW Bush. Hard as it might be to believe in those cozy moments where Dubya is hobknobbing with the Obamas, they’ve even done it with Dubya.

Have you noticed that apart from the occasional half-hearted drive-by, the modern left doesn’t waste much energy in slagging the memory or legacy of Dubya? It’s not just because the uniparty, and especially his old Veep have joined the Never Trump opposition. (Although that’s always the most direct path to gaining ‘strange new respect’.)

They used to call him BusHitler, hurled out the Nazi memes, and held him personally responsible for anything that went wrong in the entirety of Obama’s eight years in office. But as soon as he stepped out of politics, they turned their rhetorical barrages against people like McCain, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney. They, too, were afforded ‘strange new respect’ as they broke ranks and criticized their former party. Just like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and others down the road.

After chumming the water for years with words like ‘insurrection’, ‘election denier’ and ‘felon’ in the Biden years, they left saw 2022 as the year to pivot from big, scary, Trump to The Next Threat.

As hard as it would be to believe based on what we’ve been seeing since he resumed his presidency in January, back in late 2022 and on until early 2023, headlines started to trickle out about someone who was ‘worse than’ Trump.

Ron DeSantis.

He was the heir apparent. He was *obviously* taking his shot at the Presidency. And he had been an enormously successful Governor during a time where the federal administration in power was openly hostile to both him personally, and his policies more generally.

But Trump beat DeSantis handily in the primary, and the fear-mongering over DeSantis has dropped off.

But the urge to choose a replacement Boogeyman is still strong on the left. If they can brand him as somehow ‘scary’, they don’t have to work nearly as hard at making his policy promises undesirable. In some cases, the ‘ick’ factor they are trying to gin up could scare people off from even looking into the policies themselves.

That’s the goal. Rhetorical slight of hand in the service of political power… delivered by our supposed First Amendment loving media whose role in a republic is delivering truth to the citizens so that they can make an informed choice based on all publicly available information.

Media types who see their job as generating emotional reasons for revulsion against the party they disfavor is not just a dereliction of duty. It’s an act of cowardice in service to politicians who abuse their power to the detriment of the citizen.

Psaki helped conceal Biden’s decline from the public. She helped justify gross abuses of power in shutting the economy down, closing churches, and silencing dissenting voices critical of the Autopen Regime in the name of stopping ‘disinformation’.

And now?

Now she has the gall to tell us who the REAL scary tyrant lurking on the horizon to devour us all might be.

Sure, Jen.
