Michael Moore isn’t taking Donald Trump’s Election Day victory properly.
That’s to be anticipated from the socialist who hasn’t directed a movie since “Fahrenheit 11/9” fizzled in 2018.
Moore stays a fixture on the punditry circuit, together with appearances on MSNBC.
He saves his finest takes for his Substack web page. His post-election musings are a doozy.
One motive some unbiased voters selected Trump, in accordance with anecdotal surveys, was that they didn’t like how the company press lied in regards to the former president. Even Invoice Maher, an avowed Trump hater, recoiled on the press for mendacity about Trump’s Liz Cheney critique.
Others possible heard the power “Trump is Hitler” lament, appeared again at Trump’s first time period and realized he was the worst Hitler ever.
They voted accordingly.
Not Moore. He’s nonetheless pushing the identical overheated rhetoric that turned “Fahrenheit 11/9” right into a farce.
His Substack column describes Trump 2.0 in ways in which recommend counseling could also be so as.
There can be a nationwide abortion ban. Preparations for the following pandemic can be non-existent and thousands and thousands will die. (Thanks, Robert Kennedy Jr.) A Russian-American can be appointed to a prime place to maintain Putin knowledgeable. Media essential of Trump can be compelled to close down or again down. A lot of our greatest thinkers, writers, artists, scientists and inventors will flee the nation. Younger women will witness their mom’s struggles and study to surrender earlier than they flip 18. Boys can be underneath a continuing risk of being drafted and despatched with weapons to “defend” the border or to take part in militarized sweeps in cities throughout the nation to apprehend Brown and Black folks for everlasting elimination. And, after all, they’re going to shut faculties and libraries and social companies and something that stands in the best way of authoritarian rule.
It’s price repeating that Trump served as president for 4 full years. None of Moore’s dystopian predictions got here to go then.
Not even shut. Why would his second time period be totally different?
RELATED: IS MOORE LYING ABOUT ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE?
The paragraph leans into the debunked Russian Collusion narrative, suggesting Crew Trump will shutter media organizations essential of him and sweep up “brown and black folks.”
This sort of rhetoric ought to get Moore banned from speaking head showcases. He can’t be trusted to be a cool, calm arbiter of knowledge.
As a substitute, it’d make him extra fashionable on the MSNBC circuit.
Heck, if “The View’s” Whoopi Goldberg can name grocery store homeowners “pigs,” recommend her million greenback wage isn’t sufficient to make ends meet, declare Trump will tear aside interracial marriages and cruelly malign a bakery store underneath false pretenses, the company media has no ethical guardrails.
Count on to see extra of Moore over the following 4 years.
