To Our Friends on the Left: Truman Escaped and You Can Too

If you’ve seen the Truman show, the movie, you’ll know that it’s a charming little tale of a poor chap who, since birth, has lived in a pretend world. Everything seems normal to him, but it’s all staged—a movie set. Every time someone says good morning to him; every interaction he has; every relationship is formed with an actor playing a part to keep poor Truman believing that the world they have him living in is real.

What’s my point? Why am I telling you this? Because there’s something we need to reveal to you. Difficult as it is, you have to know this:

The world the left has you living in is no more real than that movie set on the Truman show. For whatever good and noble motives they might have, they have created for you a pretend world—a fantasy narrative where up is down and down is up: 

  • Boys can be girls and win all the trophies and it’s OK because it creates equality.
  • In the interest of inclusion we have to forbid Christmas, but it’s a forgivable exclusion because it’s inclusive.
  • The laptop is not Hunter’s, It’s more of Rudy Giuliani’s Russian disinformation. No wait, the election is over now so maybe it is Hunters. Who knew?
  • The birth certificate really is Obama’s. But wait. I can put my cursor on the signature and move it around anywhere on the page. La La La we can’t hear you. Stop spreading conspiracies, birther!
  • George Soros is a kind man who only wants what’s best for the world.
  • Sure, dead people and minors voted. Many people voted twice, pizza boxes were taped over the windows while we worked, and people were sent home while a few of us spent more hours inputting ballots we had under a table, but it was the cleanest purest election we’ve ever held in America. We know that, because somebody important told us so.

And they keep coming…

  • Donald Trump‘s son in a twenty minute meeting where a Russian woman also attended, shakes the foundations of our democracy and must be examined in the media for weeks if not months.

Yet..

  • Joe Biden‘s son getting $1 million a year from The Ukraine, multiple millions from China, a million more from Russia with 10% going to ‘the big guy’ is not worthy of mention. Nothing to see here unless you’re trying to make a conspiracy out of it.
  • Twelve of Donald Trump‘s words in a conversation with the president of the Ukraine was a massive abuse of presidential power and compels us to see that he is impeached and kept away from the levers of power forever more.

Yet…

  • Joe Biden leaving two military bases, $85 billion worth of US equipment and hundreds of Americans stranded to the mercy of a merciless Taliban, successfully extracted us from a difficult situation, and only shows what a masterful statesman he is.
  • Donald Trump cavorted with prostitutes, and colluded with Russian agents who worked tirelessly to get him elected. Three years and millions of dollars later a committee couldn’t find a grain of truth to it. But they must not have looked carefully enough. It has to be true. Adam Schiff has evidence.

This goes on to tedium.

  • Looting a jewelry shop is merely reparations.
  • Non-compliant bakeries get what they deserve.
  • Portland and Minneapolis and Seattle were mostly peaceful demonstrations.

Up is down and down is up. Nothing is connected to reality but it’s important to believe these things, because good and moral people like us believe these things. People who don’t believe these things are knuckle-dragging deplorable’s hiding behind their God and their guns. We know this because important people told us so.

The sad and clever irony of the Truman show is that everybody knows it’s pretend, except Truman. Yet, if you tried to tell him, he would loudly deny it because it defies everything that he knows to be true.

Which brings us to today. What we are desperately trying to convey to you is just such a sad and clever irony. And it defies everything you know to be true. From the outside of your life, we can see that everything your friends on the left do is just theater—that every line they feed you is a contrived narrative to keep you believing, just like Truman, that where they’re taking you is real.

in the end, for Truman, there is a beautiful little twist. (Spoiler alert) He finds a stairway to a door and, walking through that door, escapes their pretend world and begins to live a life connected to the real one.

And right there is our hope for you. Somehow we need to crack open your consciousness just enough to give you the slightest glimpse of that stairway, so you begin to look for your own way out. We wait for the day that you will see through the charade; you will see Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for the bit part actors that they are in that charade. We pray for the day that you find your own stairway, open that door and walk through it.

We don’t hold our breath. But, for you, for ourselves, and mostly for our children, we fervently hope.
