A rejection of civilized society

Democrat politicians have traded public service for self-service and are now nothing but a hindrance to the positive growth and success of our country. The Left’s childish tantrums, antipathy, and subtle nods to violence against Republicans are getting old. This weekend’s “No King Rally” didn’t even have a coherent message. Like throwing pasta against a wall, leftists are throwing debunked talking points to see what sticks. Unfortunately for them, they are deaf and blind to the fatigue caused by their behavior and the silliness of their latest spectacle that succeeded only in raising the temperature of the nation another few degrees. It’s easy to mock their sad attempts at relevance, but also depressing to see how their violent rhetoric and behavior have sunk to a level that defies basic human decency and harms the foundational norms of conduct required for a nation to succeed.

A civilized society requires civility, as well self-restraint and acceptance to situations beyond our control. Throughout our nation’s history, a spirit of hope has accompanied our commitment to fostering a society of peace and prosperity. The Left has tossed out the spiritual and behavioral linchpins of our culture for reasons that are purely selfish and self-serving. Indifference, even to political assassination and rebellion have now become inherent in the Democrat worldview and we have seen these traits on autoplay. The need for a revolution is supported by false and dishonest ideas about democracy, encouraged by leftist nihilistic losers and bought and paid for by outside agent provocateurs. Peaceful demonstrations have been bastardized and protests by singing and hand-holding, gray-haired picketers routinely morph into violence perpetrated by armed, black-clad terrorists.

The recent desertion and dereliction of duty by the Democrats in Congress and the incessant badmouthing of our President demonstrates the Left’s rejection

How about a No Marxism rally??

Never be near the levers of power? Never be near civilized individuals.

I believe that the No Kings Rally was the equivalent of a Union Strike. The rally was held to diffuse all the negative energy floating around. The rally was a pressure relieve valve that popped off.

The rally will largely release the built up anti ICE pressure. There will still be protests and pressure but in the main, it has been relieved.

That is what is accomplished by periodic labor union strikes. Employees get to go on strike, call the employer bad names, carry union printed signs, shout about solidarity and declare themselves winners.

A civilized society requires civility, as well as self-restraint

Well, that rules out about 90% of certain demographics.

Liberals arbitrarily and completely reach (and never vacate) their final position on everything, entirely on their own. Then ... they permit of NO discussion or debate and will neither reference or respect ANY objective standard.

When standards are ignored or removed, you don’t have a society...you have the functional definition of abject barbarism.

It’s why they have abandoned and routinely disregard the established protocols for legislation, judicial process, voting, etc. It’s why their ‘politics’ is violence, and not discussion or debate. It’s why and HOW only the most incapable and corrupt are so attracted to Liberalism...and are the most welcome in the DNC.

It can properly be called the ‘sovereignty of the unqualified’. They have cast themselves in this role and I don’t know how they can ever regain the status of worthy political opposition to Conservatism.
