The American progressives are the result of Hitler’s failure

Progressives, fascists, Democrats, NAZIs, Socialists/Communists and the KKK are equally reprehensible and complimentary unto themselves.

In a sane world, one with morals and a sense of self preservation, each and every adherent to the aforementioned cabals would be subject to interment and re-education until they are redeemed.

Failing that, execution for crimes against God and humanity.

Good article. This election was the Gettysburg of the American culture. The Left lost. The skirmishes will continue.

“Progressivism” has always been about the “collective”… a groupthink mindset enforced on all the people. With the recent election setbacks, those who follow the “collective” have become collectively insane! They will only gey insanier as their failure increases.

The goal of pscho analyzing and exposing the left is frustrating but very necessary. They are like the horror movie monster that seemingly dead arises again and again.

Characterizing and exposing them in truthful simple powerfully accurate terms is an illusive task. Your quote from the article speaks to this point.

They are shape shifters, easily morphing from one form to another as their fanciful visions collapse. They change their name. Liberals become progressives, communists become socialists, global warming becomes climate disruption, abortion becomes reproductive rights. They are very good, very clever at using the language.

Unfortunately there is no easy simple way of describing their affliction. It is a pathology that is both obvious yet impossibly complex, defying ready made verbal antidotes.

Some seek to neutralize their cultist spell with soothing friendly persuasion, hoping to gently awake he zombie before it kills again. Michael Medved comes to mind.

I am of the belief it is more effective to destroy the beast with powerful fearless attacks that devastate and humiliate, leaving the monster stripped of its phony nonexistent costume, revealing its utterly grotesque rotting corpse, its real shape and the one it would impose on all of us.

Winning is a powerful recruitment tool. Those in the middle tend to gravitate to the victor. Rather than worry about who they are and what motivates them, just keep humiliating, diminishing and demoralizing them. Bandwagon voters will serve the margin of victory.

I read the original article in full. It was both educational and provocative.

Trump will need to gut the bureaucracy if his victory is going to be anything more than a temporary deceleration towards the “cultural hegemony” that is the progressive goal. I don’t expect them to go quietly either.

I strongly recommend reading the original essay in full. I also sent links to several members of my family. I especially hope that my millennial children will read it.

Over the years I’ve come to realize that there are a lot of people who seem to think we can reach some kind of nirvana where everyone thinks alike. If not through persuasion, then through force.

Despite the fact that this has NEVER HAPPENED in the entire history of humans, there are people on the left (and sadly some on the right as well) who deep down believe it is possible for everyone to come together and think the same way, believe the same things.

The left takes it a step further and assumes (demands really) that identity groups think alike. Blacks and women, for example. If you step out of these boxes, even a little bit you are labelled not-black, not-woman or self-hating etc. They never seem to realize that many people do not think of themselves exclusively as one in the same as the prescribed identity group.

They never seem to see how racist and sexist this is. Which just piles on to the Vesuvius size delusions they harbor.

Another thing I’ve noticed of he left (and again by some on the right as well) is not comprehending the difference between disagreement and hatred/racism/sexism/non-patriotism etc. They don’t acknowledge larger principles over “what’s in it for me” or their knee jerk emotion du jour.

Probably the most disturbing takeaway from this excellent article is progressive destruction of American Constitutional principles and the inability of restoration without further harm to them. Political correctness is so pervasive that eliminating it might border on the application of revolutionary justice, not a more benign meeting of the minds and cooperation.

My own experience includes observation of liberal/progressive folks of close personal association. They are fundamentally inflexible and conforming due to their educational and common cultural experience. Were I to give them this article (or any like it), their response would to be ignore it either because they could not understand it or lack the capacity for its rebuttal. I am very happy —even gloating—that Trump won, but I remain pessimistic overall.

If you Bing Donald Trump Is The Next Obama by this man, you will this quote in the article:

Obama has been our first emperor. A Donald Trump presidency, far from reversing the ruling class’s unaccountable hold over American life, would seal it. Because Trump would act as our second emperor, he would render well-nigh impossible our return to republicanism.

It was published Feb 2016.

What little feedback I’ve had from liberals; they quickly
point to “how the TEA PARTY supposedly misbehaved” when
Hussein Obama was elected in order to excuse their mass
meltdown after TRUMP was elected.

I KEPT trying to tell the “Freeper Madness” blog people
that TRUMP was going to win the election. I kept posting
PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP, POTUS. They kept sticking
their fingers in their ears and saying, “Lalalalalalala”
and now have “punished” me by banning and blocking me.

I tried to tell them that no one was coming to Hillary’s
rallies, yet TRUMP’S RALLIES were MASSIVE. They persisted
in calling me stupid; but then acting all “cognizant”
that HILLARY CLINTON *might not win. Well, they coulda
fooled me. They insisted on living in Never-Neverland;
but maybe most of them haven’t rioted and looted - YET.
