MIDLIFE CRISIS-19, Monday, October 30, 2023 – Senator Sinema; Gaslit for Standing Her Ground.
A headline produced by the Left-leaning rag, The New Republic … cough, cough, no subliminal messaging there … “Kyrsten Sinema’s Delusional Exit Interview” (1.).
Literally, only a Left-leaning [globalist] rag could call a professional woman in a position of power, “delusional,” and not receive backlash.
Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-AZ) first crime? Preserving the filibuster in or around January 2022. The second? Leaving the Democrat Party in December 2022.
Another shot over the politically incorrect bow?
“The Arizona senator [Sinema], who’s best described as a dull person’s idea of an interesting person” (1.).
Ok, maybe not gaslighting, but certainly a personal, and tasteless, smear. There is nothing of political merit in that comment.
For her second crime? This smear.
She, “famously flounced from the Democratic Party last December [2022]” (1.).
Note that there is no such thing as the, “Democratic Party,” but this is not journalism, it is propaganda, so content edits should not be expected. Also, the assertion that she “flounced” could also be interpreted as a pejorative. Flounced means, “to move with exaggerated jerky or bouncy motions,” also, “to move so as to draw attention to oneself” (2.). As if it was an emotional decision to leave the Democrat Party, not one of merit.
Full excerpt, and lead paragraph.
“What does the future hold for ? The Arizona senator, who’s best described as a dull person’s idea of an interesting person, famously flounced from the Democratic Party last December. While she’s remained a part of the Democratic caucus since then, she’s now seeking reelection outside of its auspices and against a more institution-minded member of her former party, in the form of Representative Ruben Gallego—who’s not been subtle about his antipathy for the incumbent. So for the first time in a long while, Sinema’s been forced to consider the possibility that her time in Washington may be coming to an end” (1.).
***
There must be a book, right? Certainly, I am so surprised.
“But if remarks attributed to her in a new book by McKay Coppins are any guide, she seems sanguine about her future and determined to go out with her trademark delusions of grandeur. As Insider reported this week, Sinema makes a cameo in Coppins’s Romney: A Reckoning, in which she’s totally not mad about her dim reelection prospects” (1.).
Again with the gaslighting, “her trademark delusions of grandeur.” If you repeat the propaganda, it can become more accepted, as it becomes conditioned.
***
So, what is the core event underlying both of her crimes?
Well, she defines it that, “I saved the Senate filibuster by myself. I saved the Senate by myself. That’s good enough for me” (1.).
She explained.
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema told an international audience in Switzerland that last year’s losses [2022] for many U.S. election deniers showed that Democrats' urgent worries about the need ‘to eliminate an important guardrail [the Senate’s legislative filibuster] and an institution in our country" to save democracy may have been "premature or overreaching.’
“Sinema, I-Ariz., noted the election results as she again defended keeping in place the Senate's legislative filibuster, which she cast as an ‘important guardrail.’ It was a familiar position that Sinema, a former Democrat, shared with attendees at the annual global economic forum in Davos, which included several fellow U.S. senators, and could preview a key argument she will make to Arizona voters if she seeks a second six-year Senate term in 2024” (3.).
Let us put this in context, Sinema did not merely buck the U.S. Democrat Party, she reiterated it before the World Economic Forum. Sinema went against the WEC’s global narrative, and before the forum.

For historical context, what is the filibuster?
“The Senate tradition of unlimited debate has allowed for the use of the filibuster, a loosely defined term for action designed to prolong debate and delay or prevent a vote on a bill, resolution, amendment, or other debatable question. Prior to 1917 the Senate rules did not provide for a way to end debate and force a vote on a measure. That year, the Senate adopted a rule to allow a two-thirds majority to end a filibuster, a procedure known as ‘cloture.’ In 1975 the Senate reduced the number of votes required for cloture from two-thirds of senators voting to three-fifths of all senators duly chosen and sworn, or 60 of the 100-member Senate” (4.).
So, basically, Sinema enabled the minority Republicans to slow the Democrat Party’s ability to ram through legislation in January 2022, and for this, she impeded the Democrat Party agenda, the global agenda.
Her actions further explained, and in her own words.
“Sinema said Tuesday [January 17, 2023] that her former party may have overreacted to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob intent on keeping former President Donald Trump in office.
“That attack sparked ‘concern and fear for every patriotic American,’ she said.
“’But in the resulting two years, the Democratic Party shared a narrative that said we would not have any more free and fair elections in this country if the United States Congress didn’t eliminate the filibuster and pass a massive voting rights package,’ Sinema said with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., at her side.
“’As we all know, the filibuster was not eliminated. Joe and I were not interested in sacrificing that important guardrail for the institution. That massive voting rights bill was not passed through Congress, and then we had a free and fair election all across the country [2022]. As has been noted, the outcome of that election was different than many people expected,’ she said.
“’Most election deniers lost across the country. And individuals of both political parties — some extreme, some moderate — won. So we had a free and fair election. So one could posit that the push by one political party to eliminate an important guardrail and an institution in our country may have been premature or overreaching in order to get the short-term victories they wanted’” (3.).
There is the gem. The Democrat Party attempted to use the fabricated events of “January 6th” to ram a, “massive voting right rights package” onto the American people. It would have allowed unmitigated national mail-in-voting, free and fair elections be damned. Sinema’s, and Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV), defense of the filibuster stopped the Democrat Party from what would have amounted to seizing power into perpetuity by controlling national elections, thus circumventing State authority and American freedom, at the federal level.
For this she must be gaslit into a straightjacket – according to Democratics (pun intended).
Additional background.
“Sinema referenced the efforts that culminated in January 2022 by Democrats to enact sweeping voting-rights protections at the federal level as Republican-controlled states pushed ahead with laws that made voting more difficult.
“The federal push included a proposed change to the filibuster rule that would have required senators to hold ‘talking filibusters’ rather than hold votes that require 60 members to allow a subsequent vote on new measures.
“It forced senators to take sides on the question of carving out another exception to the filibuster, which already had changes for executive nominations and judicial nominations, including the Supreme Court. Sinema and Manchin refused to further change the filibuster” (3.).
Summary conclusion? The New Republic non-journalist, Jason Linkin, is incorrect, Sinema did in fact save the filibuster, and likely the Republic. Ultimately, Sinema saved the U.S. from the World Economic Forum (WEC) agenda, at least, temporarily.

The New Republic’s Linkin defends.
“As The New Republic’s Matt Ford has explained on multiple occasions, Sinema distinguished herself in one way regarding the filibuster: for her willingness to provide a continual stream of ahistorical and utterly gobshitted rationales for why supermajority rule in the Senate actually serves some noble purpose. But chief among Ford’s observations was that the filibuster almost exclusively impedes the Democratic Party from governing: ‘For Democrats to achieve any of their policy priorities … they have to navigate a 60-vote gauntlet and the assent of 10 GOP senators. Republicans, on the other hand, can cut taxes, slash the federal budget, and stuff the courts with right-wing judges with a simple majority’” (1.).
The difference, Conservatives are not trying to dismantle the Republic, in support of a new world order. It is the core argument currently plaguing our country today. Do we govern ourselves as Americans, or do we concede to globalists? Democrats will decry the latter as conspiracy, while simultaneously decrying the former as isolationism, “White supremacy,” and “racism.”

Side-note excerpts from Reference (3.), “politically significant,” the late Sen. John McCain ([not a] R-AZ) was, “a great friend of the [WEC],” and, “defending the values that [the WEC] shares.”
Full excerpt.
“While in Davos, a gathering of some of the world's wealthiest people and most politically significant, Sinema discussed her support for bipartisanship in legislation and said that is how the U.S. has tackled issues like funding infrastructure upgrades and gun sales to young buyers — and how it can move forward on other areas, such as immigration and border security.
“The late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., attended the World Economic Forum several times.
“After McCain's death in 2018, Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the event, said ‘a great friend of the forum has passed away and the world will miss a leading statesman who throughout his life showed incredible courage and passion in defending the values that we share’” (3.).
***
The New Republic’s Linkin, continued, attempting to make the argument that Biden’s election win … cough, cough … in 2020, somehow disproves that the Democrat Party became too radical. Under Biden, the country has gone to shat, per the agenda.
“Sinema cannot lay claim to having been left behind by a party that moved to a radical new place, either, given that the intensity of her opposition to the Democratic Party’s designs hit a fever pitch once a dyed-in-the-wool centrist [Joe Biden] took charge of the White House” (1.).
Laughable at best.
Sinema, Manchin, for the win.
