I think the orthodoxy of the left is authoritative statism, communism or whatever you want to call it.
All the crazy things that keep changing seem to be part of their tactic to destabilize society. I think those are just the tools, not the orthodoxy. The loony “useful idiots” will be of no use to the leftist elites if they gain total control.
The orthodoxy is not for the people of our country because we are considered to be a country full of mutts. There is no future for the people of the United States in this scheme. Our leftist elites seem to take it on faith that their virtue-signalling and all the work they are doing is to a goal where they will be vindicated and revered. What is actually happening is they are pulling their own house down around their ears so that the property can be metaphorically auctioned off on the court house steps whereupon they will be thrown out.
The current intolerance is a do-it-yourself brain drain. If you look at the IQ bell curve (for example) it drops off sharply. There is no endless supply of talent.
