   It's always projection with the Left's rhetoric:

   HOW IT STARTED: (((Naomi Wolf))): Sarah ‘Evita’ Palin to Usher in Rovian Police State.

   "'Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah “Evita” Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state.

   "'You have to understand how things work in a closing society in order to understand “Palin Power.” A gang or cabal seizes power, usually with an affable, weak figurehead at the fore. Then they will hold elections — but they will make sure that the election will be corrupted and that the next affable, weak figurehead is entirely in their control.

   "—Wolf in the Huffington Post, as spotted by P.J. Gladnick of NewsBusters, September 22nd, 2008.

   "How it’s going:

   "'Dr Naomi Wolf @naomirwolf

   "'As a former Democratic political consultant, it’s deeply embarrassing to me that the party’s best idea now for winning is to imprison the opposition leader.

   "'12:10 PM · May 28, 2024'"

   By Ed Driscoll who finishes noting the threats of civil war from the Left if Trump wins and in a "The Democrats Are a Cornered Animal" essay in _Red State by a Brandon Morse:

   “Democrats are not the ‘lay down and accept their fate’ type. They don’t snap their fingers, brush themselves off, and say ‘We’ll just have to do better next year.’ They don’t lose, and if they lose there are consequences. Riots, destruction, and death have been a staple of leftists not getting their way."

   AKA buy more ammo, especially with Alliant showing we're told a shortage of guncotton causing them to cease until further notice gunpowder sales to reloaders. It's owned by the same conglomerate

     I often wonder if Palin was as bad as people said back then. I've tried to go back and watch old interviews and campaign stuff, but it was mostly the same blank campaign rhetoric as every other candidate. She did finish both her terms in probably the most difficult to govern state in the US (due to size, geography and temperature; although the federal gov does handle a lot of it).
     
     I think the big moments everyone piled onto with her was the Katie Couric interview where she couldn't mention any magazine she reads (people used this to say she was unread, but maybe she didn't want to admit to only reading Cosmo/Glamour and couldn't think of anything else on the spot), and also when she prayed in Wasilla Assembly God that God would help fund an oil pipeline.

     It's funny that a lot of people think she actually said that, when it was Tina Fey's bit.

     @djsumdog @ThatWouldBeTelling John McCain did more to sabotage Sarah Palin by running such a shitty campaign, than she ever did to sabotage herself.
     
     Also SNL with that dumb "I can see Russia from my backyard" shit or w/e, didn't help.
