His verbal attacks against the media are so pervasive now that physical violence erupts more often: beatings at rallies, bombs in newsrooms,\u201d he said. He bizarrely minimized the threat, saying, \u201cThe bombs don\u2019t explode, but that isn\u2019t the point. Fear is the point: silence through force.\u201dTo cover the daily assault on democracy, maybe we should map out the road ahead. Imagine what could happen in 2022, 2023, 2024\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/AQZoscZya2\u2014 Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 31, 2021Stelter then warned that, in 2023, a growing number of conservative websites will \u201cspin the news in Trump\u2019s favor. They start to publish explicit enemies lists, and in the comments sections of the websites, people dream up what they\u2019ll do if Trump is denied power, which weapons they\u2019ll use, who they\u2019ll hurt.\u201dStelter then ascribed a racial motivation to conservatives\u2019 actions. \u201cEvery day some random, hyper-local story about a migrant from Haiti or a refugee from Afghanistan is blown out of proportion into some doomsday, international story about the death of white America\u2019s way of life.\u00a0 That is all you hear about on right-wing radio,\u201d he said, painting a fantasy world picture unrelated to the content of actual talk radio. \u201cIt\u2019s as if America has been swallowed up by QAnon conspiracy theories.\u201dFinally, Stelter introduced his favorite bogeyman: Fox News. In 2024, \u201cFox responds by running even further to the Right, quadrupling down on red meat opinion over news. There will be no repeat of the Arizona race call. Telling the truth is too risky,\u201d he said.\u201cElection boards are, to borrow a word, rigged,\u201d Stelter said. That conflicts with his expressed view in 2016, when he said, \u201cIt\u2019s dangerous for a talk show host to promote conspiracy theories about election-rigging.\u201dBack in Stelter\u2019s Manichean fantasy world, \u201cThe country is on pins and needles. Landlords board up downtown windows. And the looting starts, shooting starts.\u201d\u201cWe know what Trump will do, so what will the rest of us do?\u201d Stelter asked. \u201cThat\u2019s the story for the American media for the next three years.\u201dThe theme is a favorite of Stelter\u2019s: Donald Trump is a totalitarian-in-waiting; he single-handedly controls every right-of-center politician and news outlet; and only courageous, embattled journalists like Brian Stelter can maintain democracy against rampaging Republican rioters.While Stelter noted that some of these events, such as looting and boarded-up windows in advance of a presidential election, have occurred in the past, he did not mention that they were done to guard against the widely anticipated explosions of violence by Democrats in the event of \u00a0President Trump\u2019s reelection.There was no national campaign of looting, or shooting, by Republicans following President Donald Trump\u2019s ouster from office.The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
