The perfect phrase to describe Democrats and US media right now as they all continue to spiral.
"Obey the narrative".
There was only one narrative through Obamas Presidency.... "he can do no wrong" and if you're a Democrat "we can do no wrong". The media which is all dying as it rightfully should pushed this narrative day and night. It felt good to Democrats to be told "you're right about everything". They had a media which never challenged the President or policies as they're supposed to. They never asked him tough questions in press briefings. They never held him accountable for anything at all. To this day, the guy who had scandal after scandal during his Presidency brags about a scandal free Presidency. Because in large part, the media told him all day long that he was awesome and his ideas were the only ideas. No one challenged an unearned Nobel Peace Prize from a guy who had done nothing but run around the country saying "hope and change".
It all came to an abrupt end in November 2016. Suddenly, they were wrong. Suddenly the narrative fell apart. Suddenly up was down, black was white and they've all been in an emotional tailspin since.
And look at how they act today. Like a cunty, spoiled 13 year old princess who didn't get her way.
Fewer and fewer since 2016 are "obeying the narrative", the media has lost their monopoly on the news, they have lost their monopoly on the narrative and everyone's behavior as a result is getting increasingly irrational and insane. "nazi!", "racist!", "treason!", "impeach!" etc etc etc.
And there has never been so much irrational hate towards anyone who didn't "obey the narrative" in this country. It's even visible on this very forum.
And to this day, not a single person here could lay out the Democratic platform, explain how any of it could be achieved or even make a solid case why voting for anyone in their party would be in their best interest.... but they're pretty sure you're a racist nazi if you don't vote for them.
Its not a war of ideas anymore. It is coming down to a war between mature adults and those who act like children.
This is the craziest time i've ever witnessed in US politics. As a guy who was elected President is feverishly working to fulfill every campaign promise, "the other team" are feverishly working to burn the entire nation down just to be "right". Not to prove an idea that matters to be right. Not to improve peoples lives. Not to push for legislation which will benefit citizens, but to punish the guy who beat them at the direct expense of the nation, it's economy and it's future.
