Evidently buying what she’s been selling, Rosie O’Donnell lamented that even professional help couldn’t combat succumbing to fearmongering over what may come of our “democracy” by Thanksgiving.
“Amazing the stuff people can be talked into believing.”
If the likes of former President Barack Obama and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) being counted among those calling for President Joe Biden to end his campaign hadn’t fully demonstrated that the left was in free fall reaching for their emergency chute, the parade of doomsaying meltdowns likely did the trick.
What once was a feud dating back nearly 20 years, prompted by then-businessman Donald Trump giving a second chance to Miss USA Tara Conner in 2006, had evolved beyond Trump Derangement Syndrome for O’Donnell as she took to TikTok with a “Saturday Ramble” all-but decked out with a cardboard sign reading “The End Is Near.”
“The whole thing is very, very unnerving. It’s very unnerving. In 100 days, you know, people are saying to me — my therapist actually said to me, ‘Well, it’s a long time between now and November,'” she said partway through her video. “No it isn’t. We’re about to start school again. You know how quick all of a sudden it’s Thanks- — it’s Halloween and then it’s Thanksgiving break.”
“So, by Thanksgiving break we’re gonna know whether we still have democracy in the United States. That’s not a long time. It’s a long time to worry every day, I could tell you that,” O’Donnell went on in the monologue that left Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume reacting, “Amazing the stuff people can be talked into believing.”

Having wondered if Democrats were stuck waiting until after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress Wednesday before they would be filled-in on which empty suit with a “D” next to their name they would be voting for come November, the two-time bile-spewer on ABC’s “The View” actually encouraged her more than 2.4 million followers to tune out corporate media.
“Don’t only watch the TV news. Don’t, cause it’s — listen, you can worry, worry, worry, and time’s still gonna go and what’s gonna happen is gonna happen. So, you know, the wisdom to know the difference, the things I can control, right? Things you can’t, wisdom to know the difference,” came a scrambled attempt at wisdom from the comedian turned talking head.
As it happened, O’Donnell’s advice sounded like she getting her talking points directly from the Biden campaign as one day earlier the incumbent’s campaign chair, Jen O’ Malley Dillon, was reported to have told staff working for her and the Democratic National Committee, “Don’t watch cable news all the time. That is not the real world. The real world is the voters that are standing with us, the delegates that are with us, and we’re going to weather this because of this organization.”
Ensuring that she earned every bit of ridicule on social media, O’Donnell signed off of her ramble with ramped up rhetoric certain to perpetuate her self-inflicted melancholy, “They’re not kidding around. Right to an authoritarian dictatorship. America, got no idea what’s coming if he wins and boy it’s not good.”
Brit, this is *exactly* what I write about. This is what happens to people when they are constantly gaslit with fear and apocalyptic rhetoric. I think she actually believes this. The first victims of the American left and now of the Democratic Party are liberals themselves.
