Everybody enjoying all the unity yet?
On Thursday, conservative rocker/rapper Kid Rock tweeted, “Just to be clear and follow up … THESE FAR LEFT SOCIALIST LIBERALS AND MEDIA CAN DE-PROGRAM DEEZ NUTZ!! Everyone else, have a great weekend! —Kid Rock.”
He also shared a meme with the tweet featuring a photo of himself on a jaunty walk, which was captioned, “Headed to deprogramming to woop some ass.”
What prompted his remarks?
First, former Democratic presidential nominee and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) both questioned whether the United States should craft a “9/11-type commission” in order to determine whether Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin” on the day of the U.S. Capitol raid.
“But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy,” Clinton recently said to Pelosi.
Over the last several weeks, a variety of people have suggested that Trump voters should be “deprogrammed.”
In November, David Atkins, California Democrats regional director and DNC member, tweeted, “No seriously … how *do* you deprogram 75 million people. Where do you start? Fox? Facebook? We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South.”
Eugene Robinson, a Washington Post columnist and MSNBC analyst, recently issued similar remarks, “[T]here are millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans, who somehow need to be deprogrammed. It’s as if they are members of a cult, the Trumpets cult, and have to be deprogrammed. Do you have any idea how we start that process, much less complete it?”
Even former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, “The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump?”

So let me get this straight. I have this whole thing wrong and I need to be deprogrammed ? I should never aspire to be at all like Donald Trump and live in a neighborhod like he and his wife Melannia live in ? Mar a Lago is a sh*thole ? Instead I need to reverse course and learn life’s lessons all over again and instead live in SanFrancisco with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Is this a Timothy Leary acid test ? Or just an Alec Baldwin rerun of SNL ? Have another hit anyone ?

It’s not likely that the liberal ruling class will be able to “deprogram” their enemies. Looking back in history, look at what has often happened to those populations that rulers felt were “troublesome” and needed to be neutralized in some fashion, such as concentration camps and mass executions.
Our “betters” have already told us the world’s population must be severely reduced, so this could be looked upon as a “Good for the Earth” matter.

Former NBC anchor Katie Couric needs to be re-programmed after someone passed a magnet near her head and wiped out the bulk of her software, leaving her in the condition of a gibbering idiot as we see above.
MJM says
Wake up folks. Katie Couric will not get in trouble for telling folks that the deplorables need to be deprogrammed. She will be left behind for letting the cat out of the bag that media, Wall Street and government have been working at the deprogramming for a very long time. They rewrite history together all the time. They lie t us to cover their tracks. How many examples of the big stories in the news do you need ? FISA Court abuse. The entire Russian conspiracy. Trump did it ? We all know differently now don’t we ? They all do their part to push their part of the story they want everyone to hear. Censorship. Shut Trump up. Nancy Pelosi won’t allow The Capitol Police to protect the Capitol Bldg, or themselves, or the politicians contained within, and then she blames the unrest, the riot, on President Trump. As in, she stole mommy’s pumpkin pie and blamed it on her bigger and smarter brother to make him look like a creep. Shut off access to Twitter etc. Shut down Parler. The Hunter Biden story. Shut it down. Cancel anyone reporting in a way that FB doesn’t like. Game Stop. Manipulate The Stock Market in what most call very criminal ways. Our govt. doesn’t know how to react because they are involved with the brokers. What a tangled web they weave. This is all why populism is brewing. Because we know they are all lying to us they have thousands of troops in D.C. Why else would the tropps be there ?
Dave Moore says
Whose “inciting” violence now????????
Paul Plante says
That’s an easy one – Nancy Pelosi and AOC.
Deborah A. Bender says
So all conservatives need to be deprogamed???
Good luck Katie!
Come down my driveway and see how that works out for you!
