Former US president Donald Trump was portrayed by the left as a “nazi” and a” threat to democracy” for decades in the internet. But when he won the election in a flood, the media had primed liberals for the normal effect: mental breakdowns and, possibly, violence.
The business media’s false confidence, which they also instilled in their audiences, started to fade as Trump gained on Vice President Kamala Harris across the board. X was flooded with videos of liberals crying and breaking down.
” Reddit Lies“, an X bill, posted several examples of emotional failures on election day. One person predicted a orange wave on Election Day, which is ridiculous given the Trump flood, using a recent poll by Ann Selzer, who was meaninglessly anticipating Harris would get over Iowa.
Legacy media, however, was using this surveys to tarnish Harris followers, according to The Federalist. Leftists went through a lot of mental breakdowns as a result of this when deception met reality.  ,
One Reddit users claimed to have divorced his wife because of her Trump support. Another, evidently a professor of high school seniors, said two pupils had panic attacks by 8: 30 a. m. the day after the election. Another person claimed to see a symbol on the Trump Tower in Chicago, but it was unidentified.
Additionally, the breakdowns took a lighter change. The platform’s” Death See” thread has been flooded with comments about death according to Trump’s triumph. Other people made similar claims, including a parents of disabled children who claimed he had attempted suicide.  ,
Perhaps more directed threats of violence toward some — especially Trump, J. D. Vance, and their supporters. Find every trumper you know, and move destroy them while you sleep, according to one user. Burn their house down…” Another suggested someone try to kill Trump again, saying” theres ]sic ] still another 4 years left for another couple of attempts”. Similar death risks were more common.
The FBI arrested 25-year-old Isaac Sissel, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the morning of Election Day for threatening to kill” conservative” people if Trump won, according to a Department of Justice press release. On November 2, Seissel threatened to contact the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.
” I shall carry out an attack against conservative christan, ]sic ] filth in the event trump wins the election. I have a stolen ar15 and a goal I refuse to designation so I can continue to get away with my programs”, Sissel wrote, according to the launch. There is nothing the FBI can do until I finish the attack, not even a particular target or ability to locate the location where I hid the weapon.
Tradition media are held accountable for the psychological and physical injury that resulted from the election. The Washington Post claimed on Nov. 6 that Trump’s victory” threatens an already battered democracy”, and Vox claimed the same day that democracy is in “grave danger” . ,
The corporate media echoed Democrat language less than two weeks ago by labeling Trump’s rally at the well-known Madison Square Garden as a” Nazi” occasion, as The Federalist had previously reported. Leftists have been harboring concerns about a minute administration throughout Trump’s strategy, not even after the initial death attempt. In Harris ‘ last days of the campaign, Harris vowed to punish Democrats for murder by portraying Trump as a “dictator.”
Business media has since turned to satirize their left-wing people with blatant commentary on how to” cope” with the outcomes. But if Trump were truly a” Nazi”, a” danger to democracy”, or a “dictator”— as dominant stores have claimed — why expect anything less than emotional breakdowns and crime?
