The national media outlets and the Democrats are currently mired in a conjoined, downward spiral. The public approval of both entities has been eroding, and the main cause is in the way that they are interlocked. Neither shows interest in addressing - let alone repairing  - the problem. Instead, the Dems and the press appear convinced their entrenched activism and anti-Trump positioning will see them through.

Call it narrative obsession, 80/20 allegiance, or just plain emotional fervor, whichever label you choose, the reality is mutually assured destruction. This is due to the approach to any issue being centered on what Trump’s position might be; it has been automatic resistance, the facts and details be damned. This has led to these two foundering groups taking up support for unpopular or even downright repugnant positions. 

This list shows how far they have fallen down the anti-Trump rabbit hole. Try to imagine supporting one or two of these selections and you are meeting a challenge. Yet, we have seen rabid backing of these from the press and the Democrats since January.

Pro-Government Waste 

Even before the inauguration, an announced plan to have Elon Musk heading up DOGE to curb government spending and cut down the size of the government has led to wailing. Despite years when Democrats have pledged verbally to cut down on waste, fraud, and abuse in government, when they and the media actually see their lip service put into action they have recoiled and shrieked at the effects. All reports are strictly about negative effects and supposition; lies about the moves predominate, and the journalists who refuse to look for the wasteful discoveries claim there is no evidence of waste being found.

Anti-Women’s Autonomy

For generations, women’s rights have been trumpeted in the press, and the Republicans are always the misogynistic oppressors. Yet, when a bill was passed to protect women’s athletics and shield them from male incursions in private spaces, the press cheered on the unanimous Democrat vote against these protections.

Pro Illegal Immigration

Immigration laws and public polling be damned, this has been a longstanding issue for the media. They have done everything to demonize the deportation programs – to the exclusion of core facts. Just look at what the press needs to ignore: Prior Democrat administration deportations, public support, and the severe drop in illegal crossings. The press has even participated in leaking details about where ICE raids would be conducted.

Support for Violent Foreign Gangs

The ICE raids overseen by Tom Homan have been targeting some of the worst characters to be found within our borders. Gangs from Venezuela and El Salvador, among others, have tried to establish a beachhead in the United States, so most rational thinkers would want murderers, rapists, and other violent offenders gone. Not the press, which has fought for the Constitutional rights of illegal murderers to remain in this country.

Pro-Hamas Support

If that was not bad enough, the backing of those supporting a terrorist organization has been just as disturbing, if not more so. The case of Mahmoud Khalil being detained has brought this to a boil, and the press has been resoundingly in support of this anti-American activist. It makes no sense that Khalil heads a group pledging to bring an end to Western civilization... while residing in Western civilization. It makes even less sense for the press to declare this non-citizen should enjoy all of the Western civilization protections that he is pushing to be destroyed.

Pro Antisemitism

This is an issue that may reveal the ant-Trump hatred the most. During his first term, the press tried to cherry-pick any example of antisemitism to level any blame at Trump for fostering this intolerance. Then, during the Biden years, antisemitism exploded across the country; Suddenly, the media were very tolerant of the hatred. Now, they are in a peculiar limbo where they need to keep that support going while trying to scorch Trump at the same time, leading to them tolerating anti-Jewish intolerance.

Against Peace In Ukraine

This one may also expose the media sham. After years of support for Ukraine and pushing to fund their self-defense, there has always been a call to bring an end to the hostilities. Joe Biden showed little resolve for doing so beyond cutting more checks. Now that Trump is on the verge of brokering a ceasefire, the press is aghast, suggesting he is merely appeasing Putin and is in this for himself. So the solution is…continued hostilities and more Ukrainian deaths, we have to assume.

Pro-Domestic Terrorism

The unhinged Leftists, who have been coached by the media to hate Elon Musk, are lashing out across the country in violent fashion, destroying private property and firebombing or defacng Tesla dealerships in numerous states. Not only has the press been permissive about these actions, when Trump announced he would prosecute these offenders, the journalists have said he is arresting people for “protesting”. 

Anti-Lower Gas Prices

March has been tough on media narratives given that many of the relied-upon economic indicators they had scorched the president over have turned positive. The rise in inflation and the price of eggs have plummeted in recent weeks. Add to this the price of gas, now on a four-week price-dropping streak. This has now led the same press that had told us how Bidenflation was actually a positive, to now say this is actually bad news for the economy.

___________

Looking over this deranged list and the results these positions have delivered, there is only one thing that needs to be said: By all means, please continue with your deeply unpopular deranged positions.
