Pretending Really Hard

Contact Your Elected Officials

If the world were make-believe, we’d all be rich, famous, and thin. If the world were a work of literary fiction we’d live happily ever after, and the good guys would always win. The world is real and so are its problems, too.

Reality is the enemy of liberals, even though they are pretending, really hard, that it is not.

The Democrat party operates as though the world isn’t the one in which we all live, but rather an alternate planet in which up is down, left is right, and evil is good. A planet where the difference between boys and girls doesn’t exist and one where the citizen kneels before the invited invader.

A place where elected leaders deprived of mind still lead, no matter the cost. A place where a lie is the only truth they know.

They fight for healthcare for illegal aliens, boys in girls’ sports, for the perpetuation of fraud in government finances and for the idea a nation can exist without borders. They believe in a fictional existence because it is only in that phantasm universe their policies and ideas work.

Their bodies occupy the physical world, look no further than the naked bicyclist protests in Portland, but between their ears they live in a fantasy. So completely out of touch, they can no longer distinguish between the real and the pretend.

Take for instance the work of MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, she of big hair and empty head. She hosts a podcast called “The Best People.”

To give you an idea of who Wallace thinks are the “best people”, here are some of those people, Rosie O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Stacey Abrams, and Martin Sheen. These aren’t the “best” anything, some of them are barely people.

Wallace displayed the delusional quality of liberals perfectly when she introduced Martin Sheen, who played a president on the television show ‘The West Wing’, by saying “Your portrayal of the best president, one of the best presidents we’ve ever known, Jeb Bartlet, is something that moves me to tears every time I see it.”

Wallace demonstrates the delusion when she says “one of the best presidents we’ve ever known” as though we can “know” a person who does not exist. A television character, which is what Wallace is herself, can’t have a relationship with a real person nor accomplish anything of substance. Wallace’s statement suggests that President Jeb Bartlet is real and Martin Sheen, by logical extension, is not.

Wallace’s inability to distinguish between the real and fictional is topped by Sheen’s who goes her one better by acting as though he is a former president, not an actor.

Sheen, because of his tenure as a fictional president, has some advice for the real president. “So, the big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice, you got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world.”

Martin Sheen believes pretending to be someone has the same effect as being that person. This should give comfort to all the paunchy, non-athletic armchair quarterbacks who’ve ever shouted at the TV instructing Tom Brady how, and to whom, to throw a football.

Both Sheen and his pudgy peers are acting as though their fantasy is actual reality. People do not become athletes by watching sports, nor does an actor become something by virtue of memorizing and regurgitating dialog written by another person. Much to the chagrin of the transgender movement, no one becomes something they are not simply by believing it.

Sheen was not done, as his vast experience in the Oval Office, foreign policy and campaign experience led him to continue by offering this advice.

“And sir, you stop there. You stop listening to all these people around you, the sycophants who are encouraging you to be your non-human self. Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your hair and don’t worry about your tie. And stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat, speak from your heart, and start being human. That’s what you were made for, not golf. So, there you are, Mr. President, with all due respect, sir.”

Sheen’s antics are as fictional as the character he played. He is an actor, a person who, even if they are very good at what they do, is simply exceptionally gifted at pretending.

Not to be outdone, the hosts of ‘The View’ demonstrated their sheer illusory dementia when Cheryl Hines, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kenedy Jr.’s wife, appeared as a guest.

The always gloomy and ever hostile Suny Hostin referred to Kennedy as the “least qualified” HHS Secretary in history, centering her remarks on Kennedy’s lack of a medical degree.

In the entire history of the agency only three HHS Secretaries have held medical degrees. This makes Kennedy the norm, not the exception. One of the three doctors to have held the title was Biden’s HHS Secretary, “Rachel” Levine, who also happened to be a man wearing women’s clothing.

Hostin and her cohorts live in a world in which a dude in a dress is preferable to a buff 71-year-old Democrat. Who looks healthier, Levin in his taffeta and lace or Kennedy with his developed lats and Levis?

Liberals, like Wallace, Sheen, and those of ‘The View’ would do well to stop pretending and start examining what consequences exist for their continued refusal acknowledge theirs’ is a party of fabrication. One that continues to tell the American people that what they are seeing isn’t really happening.

If there are any clear-thinking Democrats remaining, they must eschew the false for the true. AOC, Sanders, Swallwell, Schumer, Pritzker, Hochul, Mamdani et al are leading this venerable party to the eighth circle of hell because their toes are cold and their minds blank.

Democrats must choose between realignment with the American people or allegiance to a broken, amoral, and valueless party that prefers political power over people.

Pretending really hard isn’t the answer. It’s the problem.
