The word of the day from Word Guru is “susurrus.” This is defined as “a whispering, murmuring or rustling sound.” An example is “The susurrus of the wind through the trees lulled him to sleep.”
I was not familiar with this word before and am not exactly sure this is all that important. But then I realized that this is a perfect word to describe what the Democrat Party and its MSM echo chamber have been doing since the day Donald Trump came down that golden escalator.
It should be noted that “susurrus” had the potential to lure one to sleep, but other than that it has no major impact on anyone or anything. In the case of Democrats, they did succeed in rigging the 2020 election putting Joe Biden in the Oval Office. Ultimately that backfired on them for several reasons. One is that Joe Biden is, well, Joe Biden. The only reason he was selected was that all the other candidates were even worse. It finally came down to a choice between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Few establishment Democrats were willing to risk a general election with Bernie Sanders as the candidate for President of the United States.
Joe Biden promised that he would choose a black female as his Vice-Presidential candidate. Some may wonder why he chose Kamala Harris, who was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 Presidential primary. The answer, again, is that all the other options were worse. For example, one of those options was Karen Bass, the current Mayor of Los Angeles.
Democrats and the MSM echo chamber attacked Donald Trump daily during his entire Presidency. They impeached him for pointing out the obvious fact that Joe Biden was on video saying that he would withhold one billion dollars in aid to Ukraine unless they fired their prosecutor, the same prosecutor that was investigating Hunter Biden. Democrats were outraged and impeached him for politicizing the office of President of the United States. They either didn’t notice or simply didn’t care that Trump was right about this.
Every time Donald Trump spoke, he was accused of lying. If you talk to any Trump hating Democrat today, they will quickly tell you that Trump is a serial liar. But if you ask them what Trump’s biggest lie was, that can be a challenge. The following article, designed to document Trump’s biggest lies, is a case study in misinformation.
Fact Check: What were the most significant lies told by Trump duri…
His number one lie was claiming widespread fraud during the 2020 election. People who believe this might want to check out the numerous cases where election fraud is being documented.
They also included minimization or promotion of unproved COVID-19 treatments, linking acetaminophen in pregnancy to autism risk, denying climate change, etc. Recently it has discovered that the lies were told by those promoting COVID-19 vaccines, requiring people to isolate and wear masks.
This is typical of the liberal left and supporters in the MSM. If they disagree with something Trump says, it is considered proof that he is lying.
But one of the problems with “susurrus” is that while it creates a significant amount of noise, it doesn’t actually change anything. Trump was elected with significant margins of victory in the Electoral College and the popular vote. Many people voted for him because they recognized who was lying and who was telling the truth.
Trump is far from perfect, but many of the people opposed to him are perfectly awful. But the good news is that this is “susurrus.” Loud, annoying, but ineffective at doing anything except helping some people fall asleep.
