Go to noblegoldinvestments.com the clamor of liberal hysteria, the rancor, the incessant shrieks that we hear from them in the public square is fading. Where is la resistance? Where is the resistance? In 2017? They were in the streets. They were screaming at the sky. They were protesting in every state capitol. They were raising hundreds of millions of dollars. By this time, the ACLU was so cash rich they had to find trannies to go higher. They couldn't even decide where to spend their excess of the billions of dollars they had coming in. Rare resistance in 2017 seemed to be organic. It was a top down squeeze. The richest people were opposing Trump. The grassroots were opposing Trump. By this time in 2017, we already had Michael Flynn entrapped. We had KT McFarland issues, we had national security adviser issues. Russiagate was bubbling up. Bob Mueller was heading down the pike. We had a major derailment of the mandate of the first presidency. X was still called. Twitter was owned by Jack Dorsey. Elon was worried about making electric vehicles. There was no Doge. There was no J.D. vance. The first term was met by an insurmountable surge of opposition. Well funded, curtailed activism and the Democrat party decided to make an epistemological and ontological decision. They decided to make their religious purpose and meaning to destroy Donald Trump. It's a very dangerous and tricky life choice to make every fiber of your being about removing and thwarting a duly elected president of the United States. Now, to be honest, it gave a lot of mentally ill people meaning in their life. I've seen a lot of them on campuses. A lot of these people have wanted to kill me, literally. They've been arrested for threatening to kill me. They've been arrested for threatening to KILL Donald Trump Jr. They almost killed President Trump. They had existential despair. And they tried to fill their existential despair with, with we hate the Orange Man. And millions of people came out of the woodwork, some of whom should have been in mental asylums and marched in the streets, paraded through campuses, smashed windows, burned Wendy's, and they said, we must defeat him. And you, of course, know how the story unfolds. It's the greatest political story ever told that started as an insurgency, was derailed by the bad guys, went into exile and mounted a reclamation. And so now we're looking across the horizon and the terrain. We say, where are they? They're going to regather, they're going to regroup. But there's a very fascinating wrinkle that is occurring here. Mental health experts see a massive increase in despair and burnout. Axios, which is a mainstream media regime operation, has published an article claiming that mental health experts are seeing massive increase in patients who are Democrat voters complaining of despair and burnout in the wake of President Trump's winning the election and taking office for the second time. The piece claims that worn out whiners are whining so much about not being able to keep up with President Trump's shock and awe and rapid fire policies. The article notes, quote, mental health professionals say even people who don't see themselves as directly affected by the administration actions are feeling frazzled by the dizzying pace and Trump's enduring ability to command attention. Quote, they may feel it through the venting of a spouse, the distress of a neighbor with a trans child, or an anxious friend who works for a government contractor. Andrea Bonoir at Georgetown University, psychology professor says, quote, she said she's seen an uptick in patients, particularly Democrats, expressing a sense of burnout, guilt and despair at losing an old way of life. She pointed to federal workers who aren't sure if they'll be let go as others are concerned about their immigration status or worried about loved ones whose Refugee flights were canceled. Everybody, they made a decision to religiously focus on the removal of Donald Trump as their purpose. As Pascal famously wrote that every human being has a God sized shape whole their heart. And every human being tries to fill that hole. And we believe only our Lord is able to fill that hole. Democrats don't believe in God and they believe that there was a God, it would be him. So they don't agree with any element of that. So therefore they must come up with some construct, some meaning and think about how similar left wing activism has been to religion these last couple of years. They would have group ceremonies similar to a religious experience. They would have approved music, they would have banners and they would have shirts and they would have incantations. The whole regime, media was all focused on this one singular human being. And contrast that, by the way, with when Donald Trump was removed from office in 2021, in February, March and April of 2021, when we did not go into existential despair, we went to work. And that is where you deserve credit because you're not mentally challenged. And I know that might sound like it's a little bit of a slight, but let's just be perfectly honest. The current composition of the American left includes not only, but it includes basically, they've redefined themselves as a mentally ill faction. It's a serious structural issue. Their organization, organizations are all messed up by accommodating all the mental illnesses, from woke military to your not pronouning me correctly to the DEI stuff, to, oh, you offended me. The whole left wing project is constituted around this elemental, agreed upon proposition that we all have something that we're dealing with. We must pander to one another or pander to you. And every left wing organization is wrecked by this. One of the reasons why, you know, they're saying, oh, we need our own Turning Point usa. That's what they're saying. Mark Halperin said this on the program. The left wants to try to create their own left wing Turning Point usa. It's gonna be really hard because at Turning Point, we don't put up with any of this stuff misgendering, we don't, you know, garbage. But if all of a sudden you're trying to start a left wing Turning Point usa, well, you got to have equal representation of, well, you got to have a tranny, you got to have a black person, you got to have a Hispanic, got to have some sort of equilibrium. Can't have a white man running it because that would be against our rules. So they have a philosophy that keeps them in shackles. But you're seeing the left retreat from activism and now they're on the psychologist's couch. Let's play cut 74 for every American.
