The body’s immune system is a surveillance and attack force. It functions normally as a protective mechanism against such invaders as viruses, bacteria, and malignant cells. It is actuated by cellular and chemical mediators. In auto-immune disease, normal bodily structures functioning as nature intended are perceived as invaders, and are attacked by a population of abnormally reactive immune mediators.
The underlying causes of auto-immune diseases remain unknown. Their activation is loosely ascribed to genetic predisposition (many tend to be familial) or environmental events (triggered by viral infection). Nearly 100 auto-immune diseases have been described. In lupus, many structures and organ systems are attacked. In type 1 diabetes, it’s pancreatic islet cells. MS attacks the nervous system. A wide variety of tissues are targeted.
Similarly, the Progressive Movement arises from a population of abnormally reactive social justice warriors who relentlessly search out and respond aggressively to perceived threats arising from a society functioning in response to the realities of human nature and nature itself. If you don’t agree with Obama, you are a racist and need to be neutralized.
The cause of progressivism is better defined than that of auto-immune disease. At its root are egomaniacal control freaks who need to wreak revenge on those elements of society they choose to blame for its perceived “social injustices.” They need to rework the social environment into one in which they both control and feel vindicated…and they grant themselves the moral obligation to do so! In order to accomplish this, they stoke the oppressed, aggrieved, discontent legions into a relentless attack on the existing social structure. The legions — activists, media pundits, academics, the “victimized” — function as the cellular and chemical mediators of a misdirected immune system.
The progressive mediators, as those in auto-immune diseases, attack a broad spectrum of targets:

Some leftists are autoimmune diseases. The others are a cancer on society.
So stop the childhood jabs and they’ll stop coming down with it?
What a strange article.
It keeps the reader off balance by establishing a non sense analogue.
There is good and there is evil. When things are good, anyone who Congress along to change it is.... Suffering from an illness?
No. They are evil.
Congress... Ugh. I try my best to police this autocorrect.
Comes. Not Congress.

I disagree.
While I’m not a fan of his metaphor, I don’t agree that all liberals/progressives are evil. I know quite a few of them. Some are family.
They aren’t out to hurt anyone. They just don’t look at government the way that we do. They think government is to be trusted. They think government is the fair arbitrator of all things that you can’t trust people to do. Somehow, they don’t seem government as a collection of politician and bureaucrats, but as some sort of objective machinery to do fair and good things.
Agreed. I have a few libtards in my extended family. They aren’t evil.... just useful idiots to the evil ones.

Trump and MAGA are great immunosuppressants. I believe that ideally, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, administered by honorable men (and women) like our Founding Fathers intended, along with a back-to basics education system run by honorable people, would CURE the patient. I fear however, that this struggle with this country’s illness is chronic, needing constant surveillance.
"Leftist Progressivism is a recessive entropy gene mistaken for justifiable viewpoints."
That’s another good way of defining who they are!
