Just how whacko crazy are these days?
In our day to day life, we deal with these insanities piecemeal. Put them all together, as in this article, and it truly is unbelievable. We say things like, "the left is batshit crazy," but they truly, literally, are out of touch with the real world and off in their own bizarre, scary reality. Just read through this compendium and you will see what I mean.

NBA players are profiteers of a communist regime.

The P.M. of Canada invents a new word: "peoplekind."

Al Gore, the man who predicted there will be no icebergs by 2013 in a video, is awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

Democrats perpetuate world's greatest lie: the president of their country is a "Russian spy."

Democrats attempt to remove a president because he is looking into corruption.

Socialism, a failed and murderous ideology, is at the forefront of American politics.

Bartenders are elected to government posts and demand abolition of all prisons to end an "American apartheid."

A sharia law Islamist who married her brother to circumvent American laws is now an American congresswoman.

The House fails to pass a resolution against anti-Semitism by its own members. Because those members are Muslim.

Liberal American Jews write proclamations against a president who is raising Jewish grandchildren and recognizes Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Jews.

Islam, an ideology of jihad, is called a "religion of peace."

A congresswoman publicly calls her president "m-----------." Then sells T-shirts to the public with the same.

Actors advocate punching faces, beheading presidents, and burning the White House to the ground.

The P.M. of Canada pays $10.5 million to a terrorist who killed and maimed Americans. He then repatriates him to Canada.

Mahmoud Abbas calls for street stabbings of Israeli citizens and pays a monthly $2,500 stipend to terrorists' families. The E.U. sustains this murderer to the tune of $250,000,000 annually.

Fashion designers refuse to dress the first lady.

The pope washes the feet of Muslims.

A sharia law–follower heads up 21st-century feminism.

LGBT locks hands with throw-gays-off-rooftops Islam.

Communist flags are flown on American soil.

Harvard curtails the enrollment of Asian-American students.

A new gender, "X," appears on Canadian passports.

In the era of the #metoo, the DNC selects a presidential candidate who helped settle her husband's rape and assault charges and provided legal defense to a rapist of a disabled 12-year-old .

Men, with higher testosterone levels and higher muscle-to-fat distribution, declare themselves female. They win martial arts, track and field, swimming, and weightlifting competitions in female categories.

Israel is called an aggressor as it defends its borders against Hamas terrorists.

The mayor of London announces that terror is part of living in a big city.

Europe forces a migration of what's left of European Jewry to Israel due to skyrocketing anti-Semitic crime by Muslims, all the while mumbling, "Never Again."

A man who gifted $150 billion to a country that oppresses women, traffics narcotics, and sponsors terror is given a Nobel Peace Prize.

With nuclear North Korea, Islamist Iran, and over one billion living in nuclear communist China, Texas-economy-sized Russia is the worst evil on Earth.

American liberal Jewry votes for a president who, at the U.N., calls for Israel's 1967 borders and orchestrates resolution #2334, claiming Israel illegitimate in Jewish hands. Twice!

In a time of surging stocks, record employment, record female work participation, and economic prosperity in the most capitalist country in the world, capitalism is scorned.

In the age of unhinged leftism, tell me again how Trump offends you...

I would say these days are so wacko that if someone would have posted even 1/4 of what has actually happened in the past 5 years as a prediction back when I first joined the forum nearly 20 years ago that they probably would have been called insane and banned on the spot...And rightfully so. Even the most jaded cynic or satire writer could not have predicted what has actually transpired.

A whole subset of whacko could be compiled for the reign of Barry the Red alone. All we can do is educate our kids and expose them to the truth to counter the endless lies.

Absolutely true! And, what is more, the above collection of insanities constitutes the world view not only of the leftoids scattered throughout society, but also of the leaders of the Democrat Party, the whole entertainment industry, the main stream media, and much-- maybe most-- of academia. And, increasingly, corporate America.

I just retired from academia. If someone had told me even a decade ago that free speech would be shut down on most college campuses, I would have laughed. C'mon now. That's crazy.

Free college for all
Cut funding to Israel
Move US embassy in Israel
Make federal minimum wage $15
Free healthcare to all - including illegal aliens
Cash payments to all families making under $100K per year
Green New Deal - $25 trillion+
Mandatory confiscation "buyback" of semi auto firearms
Mandatory confiscation "buyback" of gas powered automobiles
It is a human right to live close to where you work
No jail time for nonviolent offenses

1) Oct 10, 2019 - President Trump told supporters Thursday night that Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden “was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass.”

2) Hillary is called out by a democratic presidential candidate as being a war monger.

As I read the list in the OP, I kept thinking this is the "world" that young people are exposed to. This is "their" world. Their "normal".

They don't know it is not logical, not based on truth, or supportive of the beliefs that made our country the most free and prosperous in the world.

It may not seem like much, but we can keep pointing out the obvious absurdity of all these things. The "king has no clothes" comes to mind.

About where I'm at. Hoping for an eventual huge push back from the silent majority. Also starting to wonder if it will ever happen.

This is why I sometimes think we’re living in some kind of bizarre computer simulation.

Things are just so damn weird. Just when one thing makes me shake my head, 100 other crazier things happen.

Day to day life is normal, but looking at all the shit on a wider scale, things are bat shit.

OMG this is so true. My wife and I have 4 young adult offspring 19 to 31. The changes which we have experienced are an unknown to them. They can't conceive of our "normal", let's say 1990. They have no reference. They don't understand the concept of "undoing" the damage caused by previous administrations. Their baseline is what we are trying to "undo" and they don't understand why.

No, don't despair.

This is not the whole country, and I think we will find out in the election that it is not even a big part of the country. Extreme leftists have taken over the Democrat Party, the media, academia, and so on. But I think that even many traditional Democrat voters, liberals, are as appalled as we are by this insanity.

Correct. Here in UK, where this report came from, people from The Indian sub-continent, including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, ARE referred to as Asians, after the continent/sub-continent on which their homeland is located.

People from Indonesia, Japan, C#china and so on, are referred to as having Eastern ethnicity.

Not so tough. There will be huge blowback against all this shit. We have already seen the beginnings from stand up comics like Dave Chappell, Bill Burr and Ricky Gervais. This month a terrific and scathing novel was published called Campusland, by Scott Johnson. And the biggest blowback is yet to come, in the next election. Just look at President Trump's rallies. It's a relative handful of commies against-- THAT.

In California, knowingly exposing someone to HIV is no longer a felony. It’s insane.

What we need to factor into this whole picture is that the left has the huge megaphone of the main stream media amplifying everything they say. So they "sound much bigger" than they actually are.

How many Americans, for example, think it's okay to kill a fully formed, viable baby in the ninth month? How many support the governor of VA who said that even when a baby is delivered, it could be "kept comfortable" and then, if the mother so decided, killed? The media simply report this, as if it were not ghoulish. Most Americans, however, are repulsed and angered. I would bet on that.
