What ultimately destroyed the evil empires of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were bankrupt dogmas. Crackpot ideology destroyed free expression. It ruined meritocracy and ensured unequal application of the laws - and so paved the way for far worse.
The Nazi idea of a superior Aryan race adjudicated everything from physics to tank design. Soviet commissars did the same, subordinating rational thought to communist agendas.
Zealots in both systems infiltrated the universities and schools to institutionalize indoctrination.
Wokeism, while not yet as lethal, is similar. Racial wokeism posits that the race and gender of the vice president and the next Supreme Court justice subordinate all other considerations.
But will the current vice president and next Supreme Court justice commensurately select their own future surgeons, or their upcoming airline pilots, on the same predetermined race and sex criteria?
What - other than ideology - explains why rejecting nominations of African-American judge Janice Rogers Brown in 2003 and 2005 was not racist and sexist, but blocking Joe Biden's upcoming nomination of a preselected African-American female would be?
Why were most Antifa and Black Lives Matter criminals who looted, destroyed, and assaulted during the 120 days of summer 2020 not charged, much less tried? Why, in contrast, were the January 6 rioters or the current Canadian truckers treated disproportionately harshly by the media?
Had the same rioters on January 6 been waving pride flags and BLM banners, would some of them have been sitting for a year in solitary confinement and still uncharged?
Had the criminal protestors and looters of summer 2020 been wearing red MAGA hats, would they also have mostly gotten off without charges?

The Devil, Satan.
The Ideology is EVIL!
It didn’t matter what kind of utopia you think you are justified in using force to bring about, is that you think you are justified in using force to bring about a utopia that is evil.
The rejection of using force destroys the nation
Thinking you can use force to “fundamentally transform a nation” destroys it, regardless of what you think you are going to transform it into.
Well, at what point do you admit the America you know and love has been taken over by tyrannical city states hell bent on becoming Europe on North America?
I know, you would rather huddle in the center of the arena and be eaten by lions rather than fight the existential threat
There’s the crux of the problem.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that to fight an ideology you need an opposing ideology. But that’s what got us the communists fighting the fascists in the streets of Weimar Germany.
What we need isn’t another “ism”, it’s a society that leaves people free to make their own choices and to run their own lives.
Note the key word...YET.
The double-standard in how the differing groups are treated y the media continues to amaze me. Seeing them catalogued, like VDH has done, really drives home the point of the hypocrisy of the Dems and the media.

Stop everything
I think I hear the President
The Pied Piper of the TV screen
Is gonna make it simple
And he’s got it all mapped out
And illustrated with cartoons
Too hard for clever folks to understand
They’re more used to words like:
Ideology
They’re not talkin’ ‘bout right and left
They’re talkin’ ‘bout
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
‘Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you’ll never see
So what ya think
You like the Yankees or the Mets this year
And what about this latest war of words
And what about the Commies
I saw the news last night
All illustrated with cartoons
So when they come with that opinion poll
They better not use words like
Ideology
Or try to tell me ‘bout the issues
Ideology
Whose side are you on
We’re talkin’ ‘bout
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
‘Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you’ll never see
Where are we?
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
Right and wrong, do you know the difference
‘Tween the right and the left and the east and the west
What you know and the things that you’ll never see
-Joe Jackson (Right and Wrong)
