“For 20 years I was a true believer, who preached this evil ideology, fully convinced that it was the way to end racism and sexism. It took me two decades to realize it IS racism. It IS sexism.”

The writer is at least starting to see that she was hanging out with a bad crowd, but she’s still accepting their premises. “Racism” and “sexism” are concepts 100% invented for the purpose of undermining our culture. Add “homophobia” and “transphobia” to the list.

I stumbled across one of Keri Smith’s videos recently, and have watched a number of them since. She’s smart and very perceptive. Cute as can be, too.

She really gets what is going on with the racial politics, the social justice nonsense, and the radical left in general. And she is fully aware of the cultish nature of it all and its adherents’ drive toward tyranny. I highly recommend listening to her. She’s very likable, and has a talent for explaining things clearly and insightfully. Because she was fully committed to this ideology for years, she has an insider’s perspective that makes it possible for her to offer great advice on how to effectively pierce the leftists’ cultish mentality.

From comments to her piece:

takeover by this new virulous strain of authoritarian and identitarian thought ...

Great phrase ...

So because Biden is senile and you “don’t like Trump” I’m going to assume if Romney or Jeb ran as an independent or democrat they’d get your vote. Are you a soccer mom?

I am meeting more people who worry about the Orwellian nature of the press. Social media allows them to see the riots, which used to be covered heavily by the MSM. Then they hear about “peaceful protesters” from the media and politicians. But they see the actual carnage.
So they ask “What else are they lying openly about?”. They get worried because they can’t unsee what they saw, but are told they didn’t see.

Are you saying that only people who line trump can vote for him? When has the requirement become the like of a president? Kinda weird. And I’ve never looked to a president to be a friend. I want a president who loves the United States and does good for her. I think there are times when trump should shut up. But he still gets my vote.

I don’t like Trump either. Sometimes I think he has an 8th grader writing his tweets. He’s rude and arrogant. But he is doing a good job as President and he triggers liberals. That’s why all our local counties are awash in Trump flags.

He can be rude, narcissistic and petty at times.

Of course, Obama was EXACTLY the same way yet you will never get Leftists to admit it.

That said, whatever problems I may have with Trump’s delivery or style at times, the substance of what he has done I wholeheartedly approve of and I appreciate the fact that he’s a fighter. Its been a long time since we’ve had a real fighter on the right....certainly no president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan.

Also even if Trump were far more flawed than he is, a quick look at the other side would make the decision clear. I am voting FOR Trump, but I would vote AGAINST the cultural marxists no matter who the Republican candidate was.

Welcome to the party, gal!

I wonder how common or uncommon her thoughts are among her co-travellers.

VERY WELL WRITTEN article. If only more and more liberals felt like this, our world would be a better place!

Most Social Justice Warriors take offense at being called Marxists. I suspect this is fake given that. Still a nice read even if it’s not real.

I think this ‘woke’ thing can happen both ways.

Doubt the number of voters would be significant, but President Trump’s successes could sway some that are center/center left and maybe some further out there. Blexit and WalkAway are good example.

I’m now believing it’s not just Soros controlling them but China which if exposed should get them all the death sentence or life without parole in Colorado Supermax.

We currently have an ex-FBI agent named Robert Hanssen serving that for selling secrets to the USSR. If just selling secrets gets you that, what does conspiring with a commie country to destroy the entire USA get you?

What does conspiring with a hostile country to spread a deadly virus get you? Corona virus seemed to work a little too much in the democrats favor don’t you think?

It happens during an election year immediately after Trump was acquitted by the Senate, it immediately put and end to Trumps rallies, it destroyed his top two running platforms, the economy and jobs, and now they are trying to use it to fix the election with mail in ballots. Either this is all the greatest coincidence that ever happened or these mofos are involved.

“Because she was fully committed to this ideology for years, she has an insider’s perspective that makes it possible for her to offer great advice on how to effectively pierce the leftists’ cultish mentality.”

Much like Tammy Bruce, and her conversion from liberal to conservative. It’s a big step, going from President of NOW in CA to a gun-totin’ conservative. (I know she’s a lesbian.)

The Democrat Party has never been the liberal party

The Republican Party was the liberal party since its founding

classical liberals
1) Liberty
2) Individualism
3) Sceptism about power
4) Rule of law
5) Civil Society
6) Spontaneous Order
7) Free markets
8) Toleration
9) Peace
10)Limited Government

How has any of this applied to the Democrat party? They are against just about everything on that list.

They are not the liberal party

The leftists hijacked the liberal label to hide under because the commie label would expose them to the common person.
