Off the Big Screen and Into Real Life

It has been rattling around in my mind for some time that the current situation and the proposals the Left is putting forth remind me of the Hunger Games. Unlike previous transfers of power, the Left is making lists of people to cancel, indeed their leftist tech giants have in fact canceled the president. A number of Trump staff and Cabinet officials have already been blacklisted by companies for which they might work. Many of those on the Left truly want to either "re-educate" 80 million people who voted for Trump, or they would be just as happy if they were just executed. How else to interpret some of the tweets and posts in this article.

Traditionally, the presidency and control of Congress has switch parties without either party committing widespread violence.  What is different this time?  Well, the first thing of course is that the election was stolen quite obviously and in plain site.  Subsequently, the Leftist propaganda machine has gone into overdrive burying the truth.  The courts have universally averted their eyes, refusing to hear the evidence we have collected, which is extensive and comprehensive. 

Then there is the vindictiveness of the Left.  They display no magnanimity in winning, even if it was an illegitimate win. They should be rubbing their hands together like a movie villain.  After all, they have shown the utter powerlessness of the 80 million people they seen to want to cancel  There will never be another free and fair election, after all. It is as if they believe that they shouldn't have to explain how their policies would be better than the ones we implemented instead.  But the truth is that Trump's policies in fact made the lives of average Americans of all stripes better.  No doubt that angered the Left, but it should have shown them the lies they have been promoting.  But no... 

Today, at the American Thinker, Lynn Lechter has apparently had the same sort of thoughts.  Lechter has a post entitled About the resemblence of Biden's DC with Hunger Games and payback.

The Hunger Games is a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. A blockbuster in both print and film, it is about a fictional fascist, dystopian country, Panem. Panem is divided into twelve districts, cruelly governed by its Capitol that is populated with haute couture-adorned, tone deaf bureaucrats and a cold blooded leader.

In Panem, the Capitol controls all aspects of life. It is heavily guarded and protected from the dirt poor, subjugated peons. It broadcasts propaganda. And to entertain the overworked, oft times dirty and usually hungry citizens, it holds and broadcasts an annual “Hunger Games” -- the cruel fight to the death among “tributes” -- one male and one female contestant from each district. The winner, having killed the other twenty-three contestants, is given a luxurious home and lifetime riches.

The parallels between Panem’s Capitol and Washington, D.C. right now are stunning. Biden and the Democrat majority, on the heels of the Covid-induced locked-down, shut down America, have quickly transformed the Capitol into a punitive, heavily guarded power center.

Lecter goes on to list the many ways in which The Hunger Games seems have preciently predicted what is about to decend on America. Note that today's Psalm is Psalm 13. It seems strangely appropriate to the sitation today.
