Two men pretending to be women won gold medals for knocking out women at the Paris Olympics last week, and the media is pretending like that is perfectly normal. We are supposed to pretend that the two men who beat woman after woman after woman bloody and unconscious are actually the victims and the people who objected to the men beating up women are actually the villains. We are living in a make-believe world filled with fake narratives with pretend heroes and pretend victims.
So it only makes sense that a man who pretended he was a combat veteran was just selected to be Vice Presidential running mate to the Jamacia-Indian great granddaughter of slave owner who is pretending she is an African-American descendent of slaves, and is also pretending to have actually won the Presidential nomination for her party even though she never received one vote in the primary election, and this pretend nominee claims that she is a defender of democracy while she was part of the silent coup which forced the sitting President who won the primary election to drop out of the race because he is actually a dementia patient pretending to be a President because he won a pretend election 4 years ago.
While pretending to be a loyal member of the administration of this pretend President who she ousted from the ballot, this pretend Democrat Presidential nominee pretended that she was the Border Czar so she could open the border to 10 million illegal immigrants who pretend to love America while they bring in deadly drugs, rape and kill American citizens, live off our social services, and then send the money they get back to their home country that they do love to prop up its economy. And now this pretend nominee is pretending that these same illegal aliens are actually Americans so they deserve citizenship so these pretend Americans will vote in pretend American elections where no ID is required so anyone can pretend to be anyone and so they will vote for the pretend nominee and her party.
So far during her campaign for President, this pretend nominee is pretending to be the champion of average American citizens while doing the bidding of billionaire oligarchs, and pretending to be for reproductive rights by advocating for the murder of babies, and pretending to be a free speech advocate while colluding with the oligarchs to censor her political opponents on social media, and pretending to be for law and order after she defunded the police and bailed out violent criminals, and pretending to be for peace in the Middle East while siding with pro-Hamas terrorists against Israel, and pretending to be a pro-democracy constitutionalist while planning on implementing far-left communist policies if she wins the upcoming pretend election in which members of her party tried to disqualify her real opponent with 93 pretend felony charges and 4 pretend trials.
And according to the media, we are supposed to pretend that all of this is real. We are supposed to pretend that the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, and pretend that Joe Biden was a legitimate President, and pretend that Biden was cognitively aware, and pretend that Kamala Harris actually cares for American citizens, and pretend that far-left billionaire oligarch Mark Zuckerberg is donating $400 million to run the elections in battleground states because he is protecting democracy, and pretend that implementing universal mail-in ballots, unsecure drop boxes and no ID make elections more secure, and pretend that the modern American media are actually journalists and not water carriers for the Democrat party
What is not pretend is that during her administration’s real time in office, grocery prices are up 20%, gas prices are up 30%, mortgages are up 40%, the national debt is up 25%, drug overdoses are up 40%, illegal immigration is up 500%, while crime and homelessness have made our cities unlivable. And if this pretend nominee actually wins this pretend election, there will be no more pretending. It will all suddenly become real, very real. When the numbers do not add up at the end of the month, and you can’t pay your mortgage or buy groceries or send your child to college, it no longer matters what the race and gender of the President is, it will no longer matter what the President tweeted. The pretend world disappears quickly when the real world intrudes on it, and in the end, reality always wins out over pretense. And that is what happens to every communist country; the real world makes the pretend communist utopia disappear quickly.
