That movie serves as a decent metaphor for what's currently playing out in America. Think of the building itself as America and its hapless occupants as Americans. Gruber and his murderous thugs embody the media-Democrat complex. The group of foolish police and FBI leadership are best understood as NeverTrump and feckless Republicans, with John McClane aligning with President Donald Trump.
The scene that is most interesting relative to today's unfolding events is when a Mitt Romney named Harry Ellis appoints himself to negotiate with Gruber in an attempt to force McClane to surrender.
"Hans, bubby, I'm your white knight," says Ellis, channeling Romney.
McClane refuses to give in, knowing that it will lead only to worse horrors. Ellis chooses poorly and is shot dead for his near comical miscalculation.
Most of the people outside the building, with the exception of one exceptional Twinkie-eating deplorable, blame McClane for the shooting.
This represents the current Democrat strategy. Democrats are running their own version of a hostage scenario, only they've taken a sizable portion of the American public hostage to their eardrum-splitting insanity. Their hope is to create a crushing wave of noise and disruption through the use of bogus impeachment screeds, relentless media attacks, Antifa violence, never-ending investigations, daily Deep State leaks, Intelligence Community hits, strategically placed partisan polls, and the rest of the tactics they are deploying.
That noise becomes overwhelming, which is the point. The never-ending churn is intended to wear out America to where enough voters so desire a return to "normalcy" that they will submit and vote for the Democrat. They are trying to force voters to wave the white flag. Their hope is that drama-exhausted voters will blame President Trump for their misdeeds and pull the lever for the Democrat. The real target of their unquenchable fury is the voters who dare oppose their plans.
It is today's version of the "peace for our time" promise given by Neville Chamberlain. Vote Democrat if you want peace, and the daily tantrums will end. For those who succumb to that lie and value a media-constructed "peace" over liberty, the result will not be very different from what it was the first time, which was betrayal and attempted destruction.
Some voters will follow in Chamberlain's footsteps. Too many Republican pundits routinely whine about how tired and exhausted they are trying to defend President Trump or blame him for the current toxic environment. It's disgraceful. They are adding a veneer of respectability to the Democrats' big lie, which is that President Trump is some kind of special case who justifies the unprecedented assault on him. All the other lies are nested in this one.
The level of attacks would be just as high, if not worse, on any other Republican president. Impeachment hysteria is the new norm with a Republican in the White House. There are plenty of data points that bear this out. People forget the trend line on attacks against Republican national standard-bearers. President George W. Bush was as establishment as they come, never said a bad word against his manifest Democrat attackers, and was not particularly conservative, yet the media-Democrat establishment despises him to this day. Ellen DeGeneres committed the nearly unforgivable sin of not spitting in his face when presented with the opportunity. Leftist hatred evolved to where they carpet-bombed Sarah Palin and her family with unconscionably...
