Fear Grips the Media Elite

The progressives in the mainstream media are petrified — quaking at the thought of a president who will actually put the interests of American people above those of left-wing ideologues and multinational corporations. And now liberal talking heads have raised their hysterical hyperbole to soaring heights in the wake of Donald Trump’s acceptance speech.

While reasonable, right-thinking Americans, free from the paralyzing effects of a lifetime spent drinking Kool Aid, reacted to Trump’s speech with emotions ranging from pride to hope to indifference, the liberal elite, which for years cheered American decline, is scared.

“Suddenly I was viscerally afraid.”

“I have seen the every available moment of the speeches of the nominees of both Parties since I was 10 … [but] tonight I left early because I was afraid,” wrote Melissa Harris-Perry. Harris-Perry found Trump’s words, mostly calling for our nation to enforce our democratically enacted laws, to be so radical she evidently believed the crowd of assembled Republicans might be inspired to murder her.

“It occurred to me 30 minutes into Mr. Trump’s speech that when he finished we would be facing the classic problem of large venue events, say, concerts for example: everyone was going to leave at the same time,” Harris-Perry wrote. “This would be the first time all week when we would all be streaming out at once … Suddenly I was viscerally afraid.”

Ana Navarro, a woman who somehow made a career out of pretending to be a proud American conservative, but evidently shares La Raza’s dream of a Hispanic reconquista, said Trump and his speech do “nothing but bring out the darkness in America.” She called him “terrifying,” a charge she repeated on Friday morning. “He terrifies me,” she tweeted.

Navarro was effectively parroting Clinton campaign talking points. Soon before Trump spoke, the Clinton campaign sent around an email claiming the election has taken a “dark, disturbing turn.” Others echoed the “darkness” charge put out by the Clinton camp.

“I thought it was an extraordinarily dark speech,” said the disconcertingly elfish, jockey-like Chuck Todd, presumably before retreating to the safe space of his Keebler tree. Meanwhile, Clinton ally George Stephanopoulos said Trump “painted a dark picture,” before repeating that it was “a pretty dark speech.” CNN’s Van Jones, who insinuated we’re witnessing the rise of an authoritarian strongman, called it a “relentlessly dark” speech. “I’m terrified by it,” he added.

Liberal pundits throughout the media — and some Republican ones too — are reacting as if Trump’s tone and message were unprecedented in the history of Republican politics. But Trump’s words echo directly Ronald Reagan’s 1980 convention address. “Never before in our history have Americans been called upon to face three grave threats to our very existence, any one of which could destroy us,” Reagan warned. “We face a disintegrating economy, a weakened defense, and an energy policy based on the sharing of scarcity,” he said.

“The major issue of this campaign is the direct political, personal and moral responsibility of Democratic Party leadership — in the White House and in Congress — for this unprecedented calamity which has befallen us,” Reagan continued, words that would have blended easily into Trump’s speech.

Yet in a post-election edition of “Real Time,” host Bill Maher actually implied Republicans were Nazis and called the election a “referendum on decency,” noting the “hatred we have heard” about Clinton. Heavens forbid there are Americans out there who don’t wish to see a self-serving, dishonest criminal who treated her previous government position as an extension of her role at the Clinton Foundation assume the highest office in the land.

Without a hint of irony, faux-conservative GOP operative Nicolle Wallace complained that,”we are now represented as a party by a man who believes in protectionism, isolationism, and nativism.”

Of course, concern for the economic success of all Americans, skepticism of foreign entanglements, and an appreciation for America’s inherent Anglo-European culture used to be mainstays of the American Right.

And this is why the media elite are terrified. Trump is not a “new” phenomenon — he does not represent some brave new world of American neo-fascism. What Trump represents is American politics before they were hijacked and deformed by those who serve only the globalist interests of a small financial elite.

The mainstream media elite, who for decades now have behaved as the unofficial propaganda bureau of the globalist project, are terrified.

“If Americans are not scared for their safety before tonight, they are tonight,” said ABC’s Martha Raddatz after Trump’s speech. The truth, however, is that the only people who found Trump’s speech “dark” or “scary” are the liberal fifth-columnists who make a living off of advocating — and celebrating — America’s decline.
