The frustration boiling over in American politics today isn't random - it's the direct result of our corrupt institutions lying straight to our faces for years. And Patriots, we're not talking about small fibs here. We're talking about three massive deception campaigns that destroyed the credibility of our government, media, and so-called "experts" forever.
Let's start with COVID-19. Remember when they told us masks didn't work, then mandated them everywhere? When they said two weeks to flatten the curve, then locked us down for years? When they promised the vaccines would stop transmission, then quietly admitted they never even tested for that? The lies were endless, and millions of Americans lost their livelihoods, their businesses, and their freedoms based on bureaucratic fiction.
Then came the BLM riots of 2020 - excuse me, the "mostly peaceful protests" as the fake news media called them while cities literally burned behind their reporters. Our institutions told us looting Target was "reparations" while small business owners watched their life's work go up in flames. They bailed out rioters while prosecuting anyone who dared defend their property.
"When institutions consistently lie to the American people, they forfeit their right to be trusted," one political analyst noted. "The chickens are coming home to roost."
And who could forget the Russia hoax? Three years of breathless coverage about Trump being Putin's puppet, when the whole thing was cooked up by Hillary Clinton's campaign and corrupt FBI officials. They spied on a sitting president based on a fake dossier, and when the truth finally came out, did anyone face real consequences? Of course not.
Now these same discredited institutions want us to trust them on artificial intelligence reshaping our economy? They want us to believe their predictions about job markets when they couldn't even be honest about a virus or an election?
President Trump's return to office represents Americans' rejection of this institutional gaslighting. We're done being conned by the so-called experts who've been wrong about everything that matters.
The question isn't why Americans are frustrated - it's why it took this long for people to wake up to the con game.
