Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

This will ultimately backfire
Translation: I suck, it’s your fault.

This is what happens when you build an entire political movement on manufactured villains, emotional panic, and fear-based illusions. The monsters they created — the radicals they empowered — now demand more extremism than the old guard ever intended.

The Big Bad Wolf always circles back.

For more than a decade, Democrat strategists with polished résumés and political-science degrees believed they had mastered the science of mass persuasion.
They believed they could manufacture a villain, repeat the lie long enough, and control the emotional temperature of an entire nation.
So they built one.
They took a man with a real business record — a man whose policies strengthened America — and painted him as a cartoon villain so absurd even Snidely Whiplash would turn away.
They repeated the lie until it hardened into something psychologists now diagnose as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
This wasn’t a mistake, it was the strategy.
They couldn’t sell their policies, so they sold hatred.
They couldn’t inspire loyalty, so they engineered fear.
They built an identity around manufactured victimhood — teaching millions to feel oppressed by a man who never oppressed them.
And for a while, it worked.
But here’s what they never saw coming:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬.
The ideology they engineered — the hysteria, the outrage, the emotion-over-reality mindset — grew beyond their control. Like every revolution built on frenzy instead of truth, it eventually turns inward.
Now the monsters they raised —
the AOCs, the Mamdanis, the radical new breed —
are licking their chops.
They don’t look at Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries as leaders.
They look at them as roadblocks… gatekeepers who didn’t go far enough… the old guard whose manipulations no longer satisfy the beast.
The Democrats who perfected the art of victimhood are now victims of their own creation.
They weaponized outrage to stay in power, and now that outrage is aimed at them.
It’s Frankenstein all over again.
They stitched the monster together, shocked it with fear, fed it hatred, and unleashed it on the country —
only to discover it has no loyalty, no boundaries, and no off-switch.
They thought they could control the anger.
They thought they could ride the whirlwind.
But eventually, the fear they manufactured stopped listening.
