Carolla Calls Out a Familiar Pattern
Adam Carolla recently pointed out something a lot of us have noticed: the left often predicts catastrophe around conservative leaders and policies, and those catastrophes do not materialize. He used funny, down to earth examples like avocados and Super Bowl snacks to highlight a simple truth. It is not an accident. Politicians and pundits make dramatic forecasts because drama gets attention. When the drama fails to happen the media moves on and the prediction is forgotten, but the original message already spread fear and doubt.
Examples That Look Ridiculous in Hindsight
Think back. We were told tariffs would make beer and avocados vanish from Super Bowl parties. We were told moving an embassy would cause the region to explode. We were warned that certain foreign policy moves would spark world war. None of those bombastic outcomes came true. That does not mean policy is above critique, but it does show how often predictions are more about headlines than facts. Carolla mocked this pattern because the contrast between the outcry and the calm that followed is impossible to ignore.
😂 Adam Carolla MOCKS years of failed anti-Trump predictions and the nonstop culture of fear from the left.

Why the Left Keeps Sounding the Alarm
There is a clear incentive to amplify fear. Alarmist statements energize a base, drive donations, and create cable friendly sound bites. Outrage is a currency. When the stakes are presented as existential the story gets more mileage. That is a tactic, not a prediction method. Conservatives should point out the failed forecasts without sounding smug. Show how the pattern repeats and let calm facts do the persuading.
Homeless people are now “unhoused neighbors.”
Illegal aliens are now “undocumented citizens.”
Kids are getting “gender-affirming care.”
People who tag up private property are “graffiti artists.”
And women are “donating” their eggs for money.@adamcarolla HAS HAD ENOUGH! 💥 pic.twitter.com/msdMgUq7Xa

Real World Results Matter More Than Rhetoric
At the end of the day what matters are jobs, prices, and public safety, not the latest viral panic. If a policy helps people keep work, stretch paychecks, and live safely then it deserves credit. That is not to say policy is perfect or beyond criticism. It is to say that constant predictions of doom that never show up erode trust in media and politics. Pointing to concrete outcomes helps voters decide between real problems and political theater.
How Conservatives Should Respond
Answer fear with facts and plain language. Call out the wild predictions and show how reality compared to the claims. Use clear examples, like the avocado jokes, to make the point without sounding mean. Keep the focus on practical results and remind people that constant panic is often a tactic, not the truth. That steady, confident approach wins more arguments than shouting back at every alarm bell.

There must be a slew of “dem talking points (aka BS) writers” because on every cable news and major network TV shows you see MANY dems spew the exact same crap word for word! NO original thoughts, just parroting what they’ve been sent as actually being factual news or information of value! We see it ad nauseum if you watch much TV at all! And that’s what is so refreshing about what John Fetterman has to say most of the time! He does NOT parrot the rehearsed lines that the dem writers put out! The sky is NOT falling every day like ALL of the “chicken little” dems spread across the airwaves!! Carolla made good fun of their stupid actions!
Actually there is a small think tank of democrats who set the responses for each situation and then gets passed around
Da Buzzman, you are so sooooo correct in your statements. Thank you. I wish all the Democrats would read your statements. But again, I don’t think the Democrats have a conscience in telling lies and making statements that incite people instead of educating people.
Dems predict a crisis and hope it happens!
The government has been trying to save us from one thing or another for decades. Eggs , salt , dairy products, red meat, alcohol, tobacco, the climate, coffee, sugar, paper bags, straws and others all have been used to control and increase taxes and their spending. Then they all just quietly go away or state that you should use these products sparingly as they lose their usefulness. Notice how climate catastrophe has become silent because in a republican administration, they know they will get nowhere so they move on to something else. Greta has completely forgotten her first love. Right now the scares are Islamophobia , xenophobia , homophobia , transphobia, and police and ICE agents scare. just the new scare they can use. Tactics dont change but targets become larger.
I shall become an octogenarian later this year. I have seen at least half a dozen predicted calamity deadlines come and go without incident.
