The following article, Is This Trump’s Kryptonite For the Left?, was first published on The Black Sphere.
Democrats remain detached from reality for two reasons.
One, they cannot recognize the chaos they create. Two, when sanity and common sense are deployed to undo their damage, leftists cry foul. This isn’t just political—this is pathological.
Imagine a disease so insidious that it renders its victims incapable of recognizing their own stupidity. Let’s call it Cognitive Dissonance Disorder (CDD)—a degenerative condition afflicting leftists who believe their policies make sense, despite all available evidence proving otherwise.
Symptoms of Cognitive Dissonance Disorder (CDD)
- An irrational fear of policies that work.
- Violent allergic reactions to economic growth, border security, and personal responsibility.
- An inability to recognize hypocrisy even when staring at their own tweets.
- The compulsive need to rewrite history, redefine words, and demand “context” when confronted with facts.
- A peculiar form of blindness that prevents them from seeing the consequences of their own policies.
Case Study: The Obama-Biden Legacy of Lunacy
Common sense is not just the ability to recognize what works, but the willingness to implement it. And no administration exemplifies the war on common sense quite like Obama’s and Biden’s.
Obama’s War on Logic
Obama mastered the art of intellectualized stupidity. His policies were wrapped in eloquence. But at their core, they were blanketed in nonsense.
- “You didn’t build that.” Imagine discouraging entrepreneurship while pretending government agencies deserve the credit for private sector innovation. The absurdity of that mindset became the foundation of leftist economic policies that punish success and reward dependency.
- The Iran Nuclear Deal. Paying terrorists in pallets of cash wasn’t just reckless—it was the geopolitical equivalent of setting your house on fire because you don’t like your neighbor’s lawn.
- The “red line” in Syria. Threaten consequences, do nothing, and then act surprised when the world stops taking you seriously.
- The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Sold as a way to reduce costs and expand coverage, but in reality, it did neither. Instead, it created bureaucratic nightmares, forced Americans off their preferred plans, and still left millions uninsured.
Biden: The Sequel No One Asked For
Biden’s presidency took Obama’s ideological nonsense and added a layer of incoherence.
- The border crisis. Biden dismantled every effective Trump-era policy and then feigned shock when illegal immigration skyrocketed. Even worse, his officials defended the chaos by claiming it was “compassionate”—as if fentanyl, human trafficking, and cartel violence were acts of kindness.
- Bidenomics. Printing trillions, driving up inflation, and then insisting the economy is thriving is peak CDD. Americans are paying 40% more for groceries, but at least Biden’s economist assures them it’s all fine.
- Crime wave denial. Democrat-run cities turned into lawless wastelands, yet leftist mayors claim crime is “down.” Down where? In their gated communities?
- Energy policy stupidity. Shutting down American oil production while begging dictators for crude? That’s not policy—it’s masochism.
I’ve watched multiple interviews where Democrats condemn themselves without knowing it. For example, Whoopi Goldberg chided a young lady for saying that she was happy to wake from woke. Goldberg admonished her, explaining how “woke” paved the way for Blacks and women. Sure did. Circa 1960.
The America today in no way resembles the anachronistic nonsense that Goldberg references. A Black woman who uses a Jewish name to become a star continues to blame America. But she’s not alone. I watched Jake Tapper make a fool out of himself on illegal immigration, only to be dismembered by Stephen Miller:
Hi. Want to see a murder on live TV?
I give you White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vs. Jake Tapper on CNN.
Tapper said we need illegals here to pick our crops.
Then, Fatality…

Trump’s Common Sense Approach: A Mortal Threat to Democrats
Common sense policies expose the Left’s failures, which is why they fear Trump. He’s not just implementing conservative ideas—he’s proving that they work.
Trump’s Greatest Offense: Telling the Truth
- When Trump said “we’re bringing jobs back”—he did. Manufacturing rebounded. Wages rose. Unemployment hit historic lows.
- When Trump enforced legal immigration, the border was under control. Even Democrats admitted it—until they had to pretend it was a problem.
- When Trump said “America First”, it wasn’t a slogan—it was a strategy. He renegotiated trade deals, rebuilt the military, and kept us out of new wars.
Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes complained that so much is happening in the Trump administration that they struggle to know what to report. What they really mean is that the “news” they choose to report is costing them their livelihoods. Maddow said,
To make a living, we have to choose what we are going to talk about…For me, it is the most intellectually stimulating and rewarding part of our job.
So much for her intellect, because their audiences are tuning out. Today, audiences prefer truth over manufactured narratives.
Compare and Contrast
Obama and Biden created economic disasters. Obama pushed crushing regulations, stagnating growth. Biden has doubled down on reckless spending, fueling record inflation. His student loan forgiveness plan is a slap in the face to taxpayers who actually paid off their debts. And let’s not forget Biden’s war on energy—shutting down pipelines while begging OPEC for oil.
Aside from Trump’s financial prowess, what about his pledge to protect Americans and enforce immigration laws? Daily, his administration deports dangerous criminals, but the media cries crocodile tears for those who get deported. No celebration for taxpayers or victims of illegal alien crime.
Then there’s national security. Obama’s Iran Deal emboldened terrorists and weakened U.S. influence. Biden made it worse, handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban and leaving Americans stranded. Meanwhile, Trump brokered historic peace deals in the Middle East. But Democrats call him the threat?
And what about his response to disasters? Unlike Obama’s infamous negligence during Flint’s water crisis, Trump took action. Biden practically mooned North Carolinians after Hurricane Florence, preferring to fund Ukraine instead. Trump, on the other hand, immediately addressed their needs, securing temporary housing and rebuilding infrastructure.
Under Trump, the Saudis agree to invest $600B in America. Next, a Japanese billionaire raised his investment commitment in America from $100B to $500B. Neither of these things would have happened if Trump weren’t elected, however the media silence is deafening.
Why Democrats Despise Common Sense
- It threatens their control. If people can succeed on their own, they don’t need government handouts.
- It exposes their failures. The more Trump delivers on his promises, the more the Left’s decades of mismanagement become undeniable.
- It’s a political disinfectant. When logic enters the conversation, leftist ideology collapses under the weight of its own contradictions.
Will Democrats Ever Recover?
CDD is a persistent condition, but there is hope. It begins with exposure to reality and the willingness to acknowledge when things work. Until then, expect more hysterics, more gaslighting, and more Democrats screaming at the sky as common sense continues to obliterate their delusions.
