By any other name would smell as sweet – Naming the “Opposition”

When we talk about the “opposition”, we do so with different terminology; this leads to division over groups that essentially represent the same thing. Nailing down precisely who and what “they” are IS important, because it means we can create and identify with a broad church coalition. When we call out a group, we know what we mean, but other people may not. This is part of the reason that the “opposition” cites unity on their side and factionalism on the other.

Often we use the catchall phrase “The Left”, but that pushes out people who also decry Corporatism and Crony-Capitalism. We use “Liberals” but we don’t really mean those who want Liberty. Each time we name a group, it further divides from ourselves, and this was the plan all along.

un-Americans

If you support the nation and support the Constitution, then you are a true American.

The Left is not in that category.
The Progressives are not in that category.
The Globalists are not in that category.
The Identity Politics crowd is not in that category.

You’re either an American (there is no hyphen) or you are un-American.

People on the left are people who want to control others.

People on the right are people who want us to control ourselves.
