Just when you thought you couldn’t be any more disgusted by the mainstream media (or American Pravda, as I like to call it), the aftermath of the resoundingly strong statement election has proven us wrong. Because of exaggerations, misquotes, and outright lies about President Trump, the people who were adamantly supportive of Kamala Harris are in genuine fear for their lives.

It doesn’t help that Reddit has turned itself into an echo chamber, permanently banning anyone who tries to speak logically or mentions that they supported Trump in the election. Social proof of the hysteria fills mediums like TikTok, X, and Instagram, where people are filming their meltdowns over the election results.

But the real issue here isn’t the reactions. It’s what caused the reactions, and it wasn’t Trump.

The lies have caused immense harm.

Between the outright lies of the Harris campaign and the way the media picked them up and magnified them, people are convinced of outrageous things. I’m trying to look at this compassionately because many of us have had our own worries about four years under Harris or President Biden and eight years with President Obama.

The difference is not that our fears are rooted in reality and therefore more reasonable – not at all. The difference is that our fears were not magnified by every social media outlet but X and amplified by the mainstream media every single day of the entire election. Many of these people are truly convinced that their lives are at risk in a Trump presidency. The news has told them so, and it is reinforced every day, creating a terrifying echo chamber. Because they are so convinced, it’s very difficult to get through to them that things are not as they believe.

The outrageous propaganda has accelerated to the point that it’s about to lead to suicides, civil unrest, and perhaps even civil war.

And most of it is based on lies and misdirections.

I started out being amused by the meltdowns – some of them genuinely are outrageous. But I quickly realized that while for some, it was showmanship, for many others, it was mortal fear – a fear that was manufactured but is nonetheless real. And, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I can’t look at it that way and feel good about it.

The monster doesn’t really have to be in the closet for a child to be terrified of what’s in the closet. If they’re convinced the monster is there, then they feel authentic fear.

The media will have blood on its hands.

The media has the blood on its hands of anyone who commits suicide over this manufactured fear. They bear the responsibility for anyone harmed in civil unrest that arises from this. They’ve lied nonstop and without public rebuttals about things like Project 2025, abortion bans, gay marriage being dissolved, and interracial marriages being dissolved. They’ve been told that even legal immigrants to the country will be rounded up into camps and deported. They’re convinced that there are internment camps there for them. They believe that women will be forced to have babies and that the government will track their menstrual period apps for irregularities.

If you think about it, with the camps and such, some of their conspiracy theories have been some of our conspiracy theories. It’s just that the villain is different. And we didn’t spin out of control because we also had the world telling us we were crazy, whereas their world is reaffirming their fears around the clock.

Look at some of the following with the awareness that these poor people have been brainwashed to truly believe that what they fear is real.

It’s easy to look at this stuff and laugh it off.

It’s far more difficult for us to understand their fears and show compassion, particularly after we ourselves have been demonized for years.

The people who need to be held accountable are the talking heads who reinforced these laws and triggered this fear. Honestly, I see these people as victims of the media and the shady campaign run by the Democrats. I have more to say on this topic, but that is content for a different article.

While I’m sick to death of being called a Nazi, a fascist, garbage, an inbred hillbilly, uneducated, and worse, lashing out in anger will do nothing to resolve this. Our anger should be directed where it is deserved: the people creating dark fairy tales and boogeymen and convincing these folks it was real.

All we can do individually right now is show people who we really are. Remember that if someone truly believes that a danger exists, it doesn’t matter if it is real or not. It’s real to them. If you can’t bring yourself to feel compassion or kindness, at least don’t make their fears worse than they already are.

I believe we can do better than what has been done to us over the past decades.

This is our part of making America great again.
