Both paranoid and binary: easily defined either/or groups. In/out, Like/don't like, Rep/Dem, Covidiots/obeyers, Jello-enjoyers/sane people, Pro-Ukraine/Putin-apologist, etc ;-)

"The Deep State/Neocon/Zionist cabal thinks you’re really stupid."

Stupid?! Many of us are. Is an awakening finally happening? My answer, yes, to a degree.

And how many of us need to awaken for it to make a real difference?

Exactly, hence my qualifier "to a degree."

The Iranians? You could see that coming a mile off.

Just a quick reference back to JD Vance. An important point to note is that he is against funding Ukraine. As both Alistair Crooke and Simplicius point out in recent articles, war with Russia and/or China and Iran is one of the last big cards the globalists and neocons have to play. Let's hope that a Trump/Vance victory will see the end of this little game.

Emphasises how these "incels" turn nasty so quickly? I mean he even has a cold sore, and various whispers have it that he's one of those loners, had BO, probably read an article about Ted Kacynzki (sp?) at an impressionable age. Classic patsy.

Today’s leak is suspicious, my guess frame him as a generic crazy, vs a Trump Hater.

Looks like an attempt to show he’s non political and researched Trump, joe Biden, and Trump.

Ray,

Before I clicked on your two links, I thought of the picture of Trayvon Martin. to my pleasant surprise, Sundance included the angelic version juxtaposed with the current Trayvon.

I am glad that the term 'gaslighting' has entered the lexicon, because that is exactly what is happening in America.

The "current Travyon" looks like neither of those images, IJM! :)

I've thought for several years that the Paranoid Style described by Hofstadter took root on the political spectrum to the Left and has been consistently nurtured there.
