Good read.., Feel free to re-post and share. I want this out there for Lefties. It is time.
Can we achieve cultural reconciliation? Perhaps, but the lies may now be too pervasive and the damage over another two years could well prove insurmountable. We shall see.
Make no mistake. We are in the midst of an attempted takeover of this Republic from within and, ultimately, from without. And don't forget that millions of good people on the Left are smart, upright, savvy people who merely missed the bait-and-switch as the media we all trusted was slowly hijacked. And because of the constant and pervasive lies that have forcefully dissuaded them from seeking exposure to alternative voices, the Left doesn't recognize that the Right is actually dedicated to what the Left once was-- actively fighting to preserve individual freedoms. Meanwhile, the Left has gradually morphed into a kind of cloaked fascism in the guise of a virtuous, hybrid brand of socialism that is now being weaponized as a tool of transition to a neo-totalitarian-flavored globalism.
The animus implanted in progressive liberal minds through a thirty-year propaganda blitz prevents them from recognizing the extent to which they have become increasingly willing to resort to unjust infringements in order to impose their externally conceived agenda on others. Instead, the Left sees its social trajectory as virtuous and superior, just as the youth of China did when, manipulated by Mao, they turned their own elders, artists and "dissidents" over to the PLA be kick-stomped by lynch mobs and dragged off to re-education camps.
What's that buzz I hear coming in from the Left? "Trump voters are white supremacists; they should be sent to reeducation camps and banned from all forms of social media forever." As I write this, "health" mandates already prevent unvaccinated citizens from most commerce and from working to feed their families. What's that buzz I hear coming in from the Left? Nothing. Nada. Silence.
The (never purely rightwing) Patriot populist groups have their own set of problems. Like many people, they can sometimes be wooed by superficial symbols of respect, susceptible to social conformity pressures and prone to passion over depth at the expense of perspective. But what is happening in this country is not lost on them. Because their voices have been overtly and unconstitutionally censored for a very long time (that's hard to miss), they've had a long time to soul-search, uncover the big picture and contemplate the "why;" whereas, the Left's crowd-sourced contempt allows for no such diversity of introspection, inspires no such personal inventory to jar them awake or dissuade them from turning a blind eye to the increasingly gestapo-like tactics being employed in "our best interests" by their very own power centers in politics and media. Never mind that we could lose our Republic and justice through rule of law as a consequence. If the BLM, ANTIFA and ME TOO movements have one thing in common, it is complete amnesia with regard to the constitution and rule of law; but that's another conversation.
The collective hubris of what is falsely-labeled as Left is now so complete that all potentially insightful discourse is met with condescension, jeering or a black boot kick in the virtual face of anyone who dares to suggest that the Darkness is descending. The New Left turns a blind eye when the constitution is trashed or when what is "fair and just" skids out of the "My Body My Choice" zone and right into forced vaccines that ban healthy citizens from travel, work, education and service. Just wear a mask and "trust the science" despite the fact that 150 million Americans have seriously researched this jab and deduced that it may prove dangerous to their long-term health. The New Left will now accuse you of having a "narcissistic sense of entitlement" because you prefer to breathe fresh air, and all in less than two years and without questions.
The New Left will say nothing as storefronts are smashed and they watch authorities escort the armed vandals to safety. The New Left will stand down when at half the nation suspects that elections are rigged and leaders criminally compromised as long as their guy (enter name here) successfully displaced Orange Man Bad. They don't care how, and they don't realize that the fact that they don't care how is a very bad sign or that, in their placid acceptance, they are as complicit as those who stood by while their neighbors were carted off to Auschwitz.
The New Left doesn't sense such dangers or draw such parallels yet because the dynamic strategies being set into play RIGHT NOW haven't arrived at that stage yet and they don't realize that the paths to their own doors will eventually be marked and noted. For them, it's still hashtag StarsNStripesBoysBad and hashtag TheWorldIsWatching.
But hey, if there are any true liberals still out there, I ask that you stand with we the people now: Demand investigation into Fauci, WHO, CDC, NIH and FDA management of the pandemic, vaccine efficacy, election integrity-- even if you doubt that these are actual threats. Do not consent to censorship of ideas under the guise of tags like "misinformation". Demand immediate restoration of medical freedom, right to privacy and all other civil liberties. Demand constitutionally intact rule of law, public disclosure congressionally and immediate abolition of Stalinesque laws that legalize the weaponization of media to levy propaganda on the American people with no accountability.
Or simply do nothing. Turn a blind eye because what's happening now favors your side and the winds seem with you. Not to worry. Until you realize that you've been deceived, those ignorant "white nationalist/supremacist" Patriots you despise will do that heavy lifting for you and most of them will most certainly forgive you. I will not, because I am you and I know what blind arrogance lies at the heart of this hubris and the precious freedoms it has endangered.
