They absolutely did, and still do. There have always been individuals who conspired around shared goals of greed, influence, and power. However, the technology required to globalize those efforts simply did not yet exist. Influence was still regional, institutional, and slow-moving.Had today’s technological infrastructure existed then, it could be argued that figures like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton would have represented the forefront of large-scale political manipulation long before Barack Obama ever entered the picture.The rise of liberalism prior to Obama followed a largely natural course. It was the predictable result of expanding government power combined with decades of influence on impressionable minds within colleges and universities. At the time, most of us, older and more grounded, paid little attention to it, not out of neglect but because we simply did not recognize it as a threat.Our minds weren’t wired that way. We didn’t view the world through the framework of a liberal ideology that had begun to abandon spirituality, personal responsibility, and moral grounding.By the time the consequences became visible, the foundation had already been laid.However, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 for most of us.With 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚, the change became overwhelmingly obvious. If you didn’t recognize it earlier — as I didn’t — you recognized it by Obama’s second term, and certainly once Donald Trump entered the scene.𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.The shift did not happen because Barack Obama possessed a greater desire for consolidated power than the Democrats who preceded him. In that sense, he was no different. Power had always been pursued. But prior to this moment, it was fragmented. Individual power centers operated independently, often competitively and inefficiently. True coordination beyond limited institutional boundaries simply wasn’t possible at scale.The opportunity for real-time coordination did not yet exist.𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 — 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜.So let’s add a few critical markers to the timeline.𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖.

Information could now be delivered instantly, emotionally, and continuously — not just through speeches or newspapers, but directly into people’s hands, 24 hours a day.Combined with a media landscape already consolidated under powerful billionaire ownership, this created something no previous presidency had ever possessed: the ability to coordinate narrative, messaging, and perception at scale — relentlessly.This wasn’t just communication anymore.𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.And once that environment existed, propaganda no longer needed to persuade occasionally.𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲.That is the inflection point most people felt — even if they didn’t yet have the language to describe it.Here is an interesting piece of information that’s rarely talked about.In 2011, a neuroscience study was conducted by Ryota Kanai and researchers at University College London, 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Current Biology and archived in the U.S. National Library of Medicine.The researchers reported the following finding:“𝙒𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙭, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙢𝙮𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙡𝙖.”We could speculate endlessly about why such a study was conducted, but speculation isn’t the important part.𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞.What this research indicates is that liberal and conservative brains are not merely different in opinion, but may be wired to process the world differently at an emotional level. They respond to different triggers.Liberals tend to be emotionally activated through 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.Conservatives tend to be emotionally activated through 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭.𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.To keep this simple, consider the border issue.𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 of millions of unvetted illegal immigrants entering the country — the strain on resources, the erosion of law, and the danger to public safety.𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, because their emotional response is rooted in empathy for perceived suffering. The act of enforcement becomes a moral offense.The key takeaway here isn’t who is right or wrong —𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧.This helps explain the dramatic shift in how Democratic leadership began to communicate, and why much of the media transitioned from reporting news to 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞.𝙁𝙤𝙭 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙨 — 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙨𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮.

When he spoke about demographic change by 2017, it was based on that expectation. The plan assumed continuity. The floodgates would open on schedule.Losing the election changed everything.That loss forced a recalibration.

On the Democratic side, they were no longer rooted in policy. They knew their policies would not be supported by the American people. They knew open borders were unpopular.So they understood they could not win on policy.𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.There are only two ways to win an election. You either run on policies the American people support — or you destroy the character of your opponent so thoroughly that voters feel morally compromised supporting him.𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞.On day one of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Russia hoax began. It was followed by a cascade of personal accusations. The Democratic Party and the media launched an all-out assault, fueled by fabricated narratives repeated endlessly through the technology Americans had fully embraced: the iPhone paired with social media.No human beings in history had ever been prepared for such a nonstop barrage of emotional manipulation.𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧.By this point, scientific research had already shown that liberals are more reactive to moral outrage. That insight became the foundation of coordinated messaging across media and Democratic leadership. Technology didn’t just put propaganda in everyone’s pocket —𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.This is why you began seeing identical phrases repeated in unison. 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠, 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 “𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮.” 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩, “𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙩.” The repetition was intentional, informed by an understanding of how outrage and repetition affect the human mind.What began as a dangerous ideology evolved into something more dangerous still.We’ve seen where it leads: violence, death, attempted assassinations, and tools designed to mobilize people to break the law.𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰.

His greatest weakness in his first term wasn’t intent — it was inexperience. He didn’t yet understand how entrenched the system truly was, how deep it went, or how far they would take propaganda and censorship.No president before him could have imagined being censored. No president has ever had to deal with the far-reaching effects of modern technology through mainstream media, social media, etc.𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝. Joe Biden became president. Unfortunately, even the media could not hide the true disaster that Joe Biden was. They couldn’t hide his incompetence.
