The Cuomo Canard
This isn’t about sexual harassment. The reason everyone is jumping on the “impeach/take down Andrew” bandwagon is about advancing the agenda, not defending victims. The Cuomo’s have always epitomized the Leftist political thugocracy. The outcry from the Left is manufactured just like every other meme they create. This one is about countering the Kavanaugh debacle and proving that they “listen to the women”. It’s about being able to say for the 2022 election, “See, we are consistent in demanding justice for women abused by Democrat men too!”
Do you honestly believe the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, would give a rat’s you know what about the allegations against Cuomo if she weren’t under siege for being a worthless, weak-kneed, political hack AG unwilling to prosecute real crime but ready willing and able to vilify and demonize any conservative or Republican? Having polled her Leftist peers who, against their consciences, supported Cuomo after the nursing home debacle, and having determined that the groundswell against him on the sexual harassment claims was going to build, James ran for the microphone to declare her righteousness. The word had gone out…Cuomo was going to be the sacrificial lamb upon which the Democrats were going to in part depend for the 2020 congressional race.
Next up, law and order. The Left will come up with some new phrase, meme, slogan or whatever to prove to everyone how supporting they are of the police and law and order. They may have wounded themselves so much already that they might even attempt to reverse their idiotic border policy (especially now that they’ve let in hundreds of thousands if not seven figure numbers of illegal aliens).
For the Democrat Left, ANYTHING goes, and when they overstep, overreach, they of course blame everyone but themselves, and will use their skill at creating high-production-value lies and appearances to counter attitudes moving against them. Thus, they will eat their own, they will seek to create the illusion that they are the champions of the electorate, of the People, of the victims, or whatever else suits their immovable goal: The Attainment of Power and Control.
I had to write this blog entry immediately after watching the coverage of the “Cuomo Affair” yesterday and today. The story will vanish by the end of the week, and nothing will happen to Cuomo. The Left, particularly those who have already amassed considerable power, like Cuomo, know exactly how to run out the clock. They know how to weather the storms and wait out the news cycle change. While they have always blamed the Right for Wag the Dog-like sleight of hand maneuvers, it is they who practice that art so skillfully.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some other “crisis” is manufactured shortly to put the Cuomo affair in the background. Murders on the streets of New York City (which has the added benefit of rubbing Cuomo’s nemesis De Blasio’s nose in the excrement he’s deposited on its streets), perhaps the appointment of a new Border Czar, something having to do with the COVID Delta variant or the new resistant fungus…something will pop up and Cuomo will still be in office, unscathed and untouched, a week, maybe a month from now.
And that’s good. He can serve as a poster boy, typifying what’s wrong with the Left.
I sense, and it’s only a feeling, that the Left’s departure from sanity and the damage it is doing to the country is oozing into the mainstream media. With CNN’s numbers plummeting, the money will dictate that they have to come from the Far Left towards the Center, and as THAT happens, as Fox continues its move to the left, as more and more Newsmax’s and OANN’s arise, things will gravitate to where America really is: Right of Center.
It may take a generation, and the pendulum swing could be accelerated by another major, 9-11-like crisis, but I’m sensing that more and more of America is waking up and starting to recognize the Leftist BS for what it is. Soccer moms now aware of the crap being taught their kids, people fed up with the mask/no-mask, vax’d/not vax’d idiocy, rank and file workers being whipsawed by politically driven, employer compliant, woke policies that are telling them that it no longer pays to work hard, everyone seeing the price of milk and gasoline inexorably rise… increasingly the main stream media will HAVE to cover the “victims” of the Leftist lunacy, and the pendulum will swing the other way.
Hang in there America.
