Russia is meddling with our elections. They’re meddling with our entire political system. They’re meddling in our culture, freedoms, and methods of communication. I once believed they were trying to help Donald Trump become President. Now I realize they are simply elements of chaos.

Today’s report of charges filed against a Russian agent working against American interests is striking for two reasons. First, the details they’ve been able to uncover about “Project Lakhta” are astounding. Second, their strategic goal was NOT to get one person or one party into office but to sow division among the American people regardless of their political ideology.

Russia didn’t want Trump or Clinton to be President. They didn’t really care who won. All they wanted and continue to want is that no matter who wins any given election, the opposition will be so hateful about the loss that they’re willing to act out more aggressively than they otherwise would have normally.

It’s finally becoming clear that Russia’s plan is much more subverted and, frankly, ingenious than anything mainstream media or the Democrats could have ever fathomed.

They are taking advantage of our freedom of speech and the technology that allows that speech to reach the masses. They’re theory is that if they can get people on both sides of the political spectrum to voice their opinions with hate rather than understanding, it will spread. Those who have practiced thoughtful debate are now becoming raving ranters. Those who once argued their points thoughtfully are now becoming trolls.

Russia is not the only negative actor in this and the trends were already pointing to this divisiveness taking hold and spreading like a virus well before Project Lakhta was conceived, but they have definitely added to the cacophony and harnessed our vilest emotional responses to be used against us.

Their goal is to push as many people towards the fringes as possible. They want the far-left and the far-right to grow. They want debates to turn into arguments, then arguments to turn into blind rage. From there, they speculated that we would be the initiators of our own destruction.

They may be right.

From the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation debacle to the illegal immigration debate to anything that has to do with gun rights, Americans on both sides of the aisle are becoming more passionate. That’s leading many to become unhinged. When enough people are unhinged, any hopes of civil discourse can be forgotten. We are getting to the point where we no longer discuss our differences. We simply try to shout our perspectives louder than those opposed to us.

The left is the easier target. I’m not just saying that as a conservative. I say that because their position on issues make it easier for them to be emotional when news breaks about an event important to them. This is why those who blame racism for everything are not only seeing racism in every aspect of American life but are feeling justified in practicing their own versions of racism.

We now see that Russia’s goal wasn’t to get Trump elected. It was to make one side or the other absolutely hate the outcome regardless of who won. They aren’t pushing a political agenda. They’re pushing a cultural apocalypse.

Leftists have been called cucks, snowflakes, libtards, and a multitude of other names assigned to them by conservatives and internet trolls for years. These labels often annoyed them, but the latest popular insult has triggered them like no other. It’s the NPC meme and it’s spreading like wildfire across the internet.

Twitter has even started banning people using the meme because it is “dehumanizing.”

But here’s the thing: previous labels may have been funny or even harsh, but the NPC meme strikes so close to home that it’s actually becoming a threat. It is being called dehumanizing, but it’s the closest a label has come to hitting the nail on the head when it comes to the unhinged left of today.

A non-player character, or NPC, is a character in a video game that is controlled by the computer. Some are influential to the outcome of the game but most will wander around the video game’s world doing random things and generally taking up space.

The use of the NPC meme in reference to leftists is tantamount to calling them unthinking automatons that echo each other without understanding beyond the collectivist, Marxist vision they claim to share. This label is quickly becoming the ultimate insult because it is, for all intents and purposes, true.

Thoughtful conservatives have known for years that mainstream media and social media are echo chambers for popular leftist mantras and incessant anger towards the boogeyman of the day. For over two years, that boogeyman has been President Trump, who has made the left so enraged they cannot see anything other than the hatred they feel towards him and those who support him.

Anything positive he does is dismissed while anything bad he does is blown out of proportions. This destructive cycle is so rampant, the echo chamber is experience a feedback loop. They no longer hear or know anything outside of their collective.

They have become NPCs controlled by the leftist puppet masters.

If it didn’t strike so close to home, it wouldn’t be getting such a vicious response.

There’s a strategist in Senator Elizabeth Warren’s ear who thought it was a good idea to release results of a DNA test showing a likelihood that one of her very distant descendants was Native American. The advice taken. The results were predictable.

The test shows she is at most 1/32nd Native American if she is six generations from her Native American ancestor. That’s her best-case scenario. At worst, her ancestor was as far back as ten generations which would make her 1/1024th Native American. To put that into perspective, if she were to honor her heritage by engaging in 1/1024th of a four-hour Native American Sweat, she’d be in and out of the lodge in 14 seconds.

This publicity stunt was designed to let everyone know she’s serious about running for President in 2020. She wanted to be able to call out President Trump on his promise to give $1,000,000 to charity if she could prove Native American heritage. He won’t pay, of course, which will get plenty of headlines calling him a deal-breaking scoundrel, but was it really if for her to be the focus of even more jokes on social media?

Here are some of the reactions on Twitter. You decide:

Elizabeth Warren DNA pitch meeting:
WARREN: I'm an American Indian!
MEDIA: So, like 50%?
W: Lower.
MEDIA: 25%?
W: Actually 0.0976%.
MEDIA: Perfect! And they used Cherokee DNA to test against?
W: Nope!
MEDIA: Any Indian DNA?
W: Mainly Mexican.
MEDIA: These results are solid!

Btw, the Elizabeth Warren report doesn't seem to actually confirm she was either 1/32nd or 1/1024th Native American. It says she's a tiny part Colombian, Mexican, or Peruvian. pic.twitter.com/oZo1tm8SB6

"Acting as if the results of the senator's DNA test are a vindication of her initial claims is an assault on reason." By the great @davidharsanyi Elizabeth Warren's DNA Test Proves She Was Lying https://t.co/zhsIwpPHSi

Reactions on Twitter show **strong evidence** leftists will adjust any narrative to make themselves feel better.

Thank you, Elizabeth Warren, for a good chuckle this morning. https://t.co/0lVqIZKfGu

If you’re still wondering why we say: ‘Elizabeth Warren lied about her Native American heritage to exploit affirmative action programs,’ it’s because Elizabeth Warren lied about her Native American heritage to exploit affirmative action programs https://t.co/6HBvAaKTZO

Hilariously, Warren’s only Native American ancestor may have actually lived at the time of Pocahontas.

Elizabeth Warren has to go back 10 generations to find a non-white person in her family lineage. Warren is extremely, extraordinarily, almost completely white. Way whiter than the average whitey. That's the real headline here.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 15, 2018

Remember — @elizabethforma herself said that her parents eloped because her mom was Cherokee: https://t.co/sy1kTExc3L . Part of her family objected to 1/500thwhatever ? It completely undermines her new, edited narrative.

In fairness, Elizabeth Warren's DNA test shows she's got a greater connection to the Hispanic community than Beto O'Rourke has.

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 15, 2018

1/1024 at this point can we determine that Elizabeth Warren is among the whitest people on earth?

#Oops At the very bottom of this article: “Correction: Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 10th generation relative. It should be 1/1,024.” – Boston Globe editors #FakeNews #Pocahontas #SeñoritaWarren @BostonGlobe https://t.co/m7x3kdfuWW

Is discovering she is 1/512th Native American the narrative victory Elizabeth Warren thinks it is?

— Ben (@BenHowe) October 15, 2018

"Warren also listed herself as a minority in a legal directory published by the Association of American Law Schools from 1986 to 1995. She’s never provided a clear answer on why she stopped self-identifying.”https://t.co/WXTYuAMSce

— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) October 15, 2018

So Elizabeth Warren is *possibly* 1/1024 (0.09%) Native American.

Scientists say the average European-American is 0.18% Native American. (https://t.co/XU0l1JQO1L)

That'd make Warren even less Native American than the average European-American.

Bottom line: White privilege doesn't get any whiter than the #Pretendian Elizabeth Warren. https://t.co/E3MoxCDEDd

One ancestor 6 to 10 generations ago, possibly. Don't worry though, the media is on it! (This whole story is peak 2018. Identity politics, collectivism and lapdog media pushing the new pernicious racism of the Left.) pic.twitter.com/kSXymwRPqZ
