As I see all these things taking place in America, I am just baffled. How did this happen?
Franklin warned us: a republic if we could keep it.
We got lazy.
LIEberals (both the Democrat and the Republican parties are infected!) managed to take key positons in government, industy and education.
The LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist/Democrat “Long March” through American society has been an on-going “project” since the Constitution was signed.
The US Constitution replaced the Rule of Man with the Rule of Law, and effectively, spit in the eye of EVERY King, Queen, dictator and despot in the world.
The US Constitution was a 5000 year leap in man’s search for FReedom, and it could not be allowed to stand.
Result? The world we are living in.
it is also baffling that so many in DC are all on board with all of this.
Example, at the local level: schools and school boards.
Whether treated as subsidised daycare, blind trust, etc,peoole operated under the assumption that decisions were being made for what was is the best interest of the children, to prepare them to be educated and ready to use their skills to the general benefit of society.
Boy was that misplaced.
Instead you got childless school board members using the position for higher political office, ideologues infiltrating teaching positions to inflict their psychoses on a captive audience, and social experimentation. All protected by politicized unions and policymakers. All the time parents marginally involved believing the lines of BS being fed to them, or being quiet in the interest of being 'polite' or out of fear that the school would single out their kid and retaliate.
And all the while, constant pleas for more tax money, with nothing to show for it except illiterate kids spouting the latest Leftist fad.
If there was *any* silver lining to the Covid madness, parents got a chance to see what was actually happening in the classrooms, and got surprised (in a bad way). Thus movements in places around the country to oust the school boards.
Not sure how, but it's called Cloward-Piven.
The MSM and the NEA have been stacking the deck for a very long time. We are seeing the result
The Frog in the Pot. Slowly turn up the heat until it’s too late....
“How did this happen?“
Your tag line, for a start. Then the 19th.
“As I see all these things taking place in America, I am just baffled. How did this happen?”
Because in our own arrogance and ignorance we insisted “It will never happen here”.
it all started with the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Town Square...
There is no moral compass to guide our Society. Anything goes.
I know right? It’s mind boggling and soul wounding. I’m not a religious person but am spiritual minded and have become 100% convinced this is a spiritual battle spilling onto the earth. Yes it sounds fantastical but isn’t life itself?
