There is a concept familiar to those who have encountered grifters – it’s the way that con artists (to use another term for those who prey on their fellow humans by deceit and trickery) manage not to be turned over to the cops for their criminal actions.
Rick Klein, Political Director of ABC News, is on The View today. He is providing a valuable service for overwrought Dems, explaining how they need to ‘take a chill pill’ and ‘get off the ledge’, in the wake of Trump’s victory in the Presidential race of 2024.
They really needed that. They came on, about 1/2 of them in funeral black, and did their usual invective against Trump, the MAGA supporters, and any who opposed the Leftist agenda, the Dems, and, particularly Kamala Harris (the ONLY potential reason could be they HATED minorities and women, and wanted to impose a Nazi state upon America).
I know, I know, it does sound nutty, doesn’t it?
The thing is, they are going so over the top because they are operating on the emotional side of the brain. There are no logical brakes to fatalistic thinking, as anyone who has tried to talk someone out of ending their life knows.
If you have someone like the Ladies of The View in your life, look for more moderate resources – OFFICIAL ones, that are not strongly on either side, but perceived as middle of the road, and look for someone who presents a view similar to that of Klein. The goal is to gradually move them from Extreme Anti-Trump, to a relatively moderate “He is still awful, but some of the things his administration has done are not that bad”.
Don’t expect a Bolt From On-High, like Saul/Paul experienced – they are rare, and won’t affect their extreme POV.
Instead, mention that you heard someone that they might have some trust in, who said something more moderating than rigidly anti-Trump. Just mention that you hear the person, and that they made you think. If they eagerly try to ‘convert you to reason’, say, “I didn’t want to have a big discussion, I just thought it was interesting and you might be interested.”
You don’t have to do this every day, just now and then.
Deprogramming the Anti-Trump will be a LONG process.

It will be interesting to see whether the inevitable rioters (as happened in 2017 and the 2020 Summer of Love) will be treated as the J6 protesters were/are, whether it’s “rambunctious and blazing, but mostly peaceful” or “an act of insurrection worse than the Civil War, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima and 9/11 all wrapped up into one”. Or whether Heels-Up will allow protests from the Democrat House/Senate members (also insurrection, according to Official Sources over the past 3 years).
Just one question… Who are the businesses in DC, NYC, and several other Democrat strongholds plywood-ing up their windows in fear of?
Have we forgotten what Auntie-Queefa and the BLM folks did in 2020?
If you believe these communists will have time for “introspection” or a moderating period of reflection it is apparent we differ greatly in our understanding of those who hate America. At this point, it is most likely the lawfare will continue against Trump, the vile Raskins of this world have promised Trump will not be inaugurated, the Auntie-Queefas are no-doubt ordering bricks and glass bottles for some “cocktails”, and various and sundry wackjobs will be activated by their CIA/FBI handlers.
Did I miss any of the communist tricks we have seen and heard about recently?
And do not count out another assassination attempt against Donald John Trump.
