The Left's Ideology Shrivels When Exposed to the Light
American Thinker ^ | 26 May, 2021 | H.P. Smith

Leftists are finally bold enough to expose their movement for what it is. This won't end well for them.

For decades, Progressives have been making gains in America, and they've been doing it mainly because they were very careful and crafty in how they operated. A leftist will rarely come out and tell you what he is trying to do; leftists are stealthy and devious about their true intentions, disguising their motives with slogans like "for the common good," "paying your fair share," and "leveling the playing field."

They've slunk into nearly every walk of life, disingenuously labeling themselves "liberal," when they are in reality anything but liberal. "Liberal" would mean they are open to the way others think. "Liberal" would mean that they don't try to cancel those with whom they disagree. "Liberal" would mean being liberal, and letting people live their lives, provided they are not doing harm to others...which is more like the libertarian viewpoint.

Progressives dominate our educational institutions, from elementary school to the highest levels of academia, and their indoctrination of our youths is shameless and insidious. Recent polls have shown that 25% of Americans now believe that socialism is a better economic system than capitalism. Year after year, they churn out hundreds of thousands more useful idiots with degrees in gender studies, social justice, black studies, and even journalism (yeah, oddly, journalism is still a major!). These aspiring Marxists graduate and spread their idiocy into nearly every walk of life, especially drawn to "teaching," government "service," and "journalism."

This spread has been effective because it has been quiet, subtle, and determined. They tell the same lies thousands, nay millions, of times and never stop pushing the Overton Window. We can't even turn on the Sunday baseball or football game without being lectured

Mockery and ridicule is our most powerful weapon against these wokeists. I say we ramp it up...way up.

Unfortunately money for nothing overrides ideological philosophy in elections.

Magical thinking and lack of any critical review do much to build a fanciful universe, that does not stand the test of reality. There is a solid body of human experience that has been proven true in every generation, yet there is a minority that never gets the word.

If you do not learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it.

The Great American Experiment only succeeds when there is a common morality that lies behind the words and phrases of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. To apply the forms without morality or judgment is to pervert the whole meaning.

Sorry, but this analysis is wrong in many ways.

Air America failed because the left is not united in their thinking. We see it all the time.

But the reason the communists win elections is one simple unifying fact: they hate us.

The only thing that united the communists is their visceral hatred of constitution loving supporters of individual liberty.

That is why they must fabricate racism, anti-science or whatever label because those labels unite the communists,

The communists get the support of unions while destroying their industries through fake environmentalism.

The communists get the support of Jews while embracing anti-Semitism.

The communists get the support of Christians while endorsing infanticide.

The communists get the support of women while being the home of sexual harassers like Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, etc.

They get all this support because they have convinced unions, Jews, Christians and women that we are the greatest threat in this nation. They see us as a greater threat than islamic terrorists, Iranian nuclear weapons, North Korea or China.

We are a threat to their power and that is what united them against us.

Like every socialist/communist takeover, the groups supporting the socialists/communists do not really matter to the party leaders. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer do not care about black citizens slaughtering each other in Democrat controlled cities. They do not care about the environment as they fly on private jets.

Those groups will be discarded once the party leaders have consolidated their power and voting is irrelevant.....and we are VERY CLOSE to that moment now.

This author is fooling himself in believing that the left is losing support.

It is popular to be on their side and plenty of sheep will follow.

That is literally why the cancel culture was born. The right “owned” the internet because the truth percolates to the surface when all sides get a voice. So they clamped down on Twiter, Youtube, Facebook, et-al.

Throughout history it has been the methodologies of what are acknowledged as the “bad guy” regemes. How do you know you are the bad guys? When you try to shut up the other side.
