Why Progressives Think Confronting CRT is 'Terrorism'
American Thinker ^ | 17 Oct, 2021 | Paul Krause

Posted on 10/17/2021 4:41:26 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The cornerstone of tyranny is to delegitimize the opposition. In the age of terror, there is no easier way to delegitimize the opposition than to assert they are terrorists. The Justice Department, led by that petty tyrant Merrick Garland (thank God he isn’t on the Supreme Court), has asserted that parents and anyone in general concerned with critical race theory and other tools of educational propaganda are domestic terrorists. What a surprise. Not.

The reason that progressives consider any concern against federal indoctrination as tantamount to terrorism is because progressives cannot allow any opposition to their totalitarian whims. So much for tolerance and respecting other peoples’ opinions. This is always the impetus of tyrannical movements. Any disagreement threatens to shatter the illusion of Utopian totalitarian progress.

Ever since the 1960s, and especially since the 1980s, American education—primary and postsecondary—has vilified America and wanted to destroy the American inheritance. “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go!” Education is a battleground for politics, progressives long ago made it so and now we’re seeing the monster they’ve created rear its totalitarian head.

SNIP

Rather than see parents and other Americans engaged in the noble task of educational shepherding and instruction, progressives must consider all who differentiate themselves from the official handbook of progressivism as deplorable terrorists who threaten the construction of their paradise on earth. If they permit other actors in education to have freedom, then their control over the future is threatened and dreams for a new society tarnished. It’s the logic of educational progressivism and tyranny. They cannot abide by educational freedom. They must enforce uniformity to achieve their goals.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.” ~ George Orwell

Who cares why they think the way they think. Leftist, democrat party taliban voters are the enemy and must be confronted and stopped.

“(thank God he isn’t on the Supreme Court)”

I think about that a lot. The one time Republicans mustered the spine to stand up to the left.

Calling people who oppose CRT “racist” no longer worked so they had to come up with something better - “terrorist.”

Had McConnell allowed a vote, Garland would have been approved.

If one was to tally the votes for SCOTUS nominees, going back to the Clinton years, it becomes evident that the Democrats vote as a block far more often than the GOP.

Mao’s Cultural Revolution mandated that the ruling class get rid of all ‘counter-revolutionaries’, which True Conservatives are. In China, they were killed and all possessions were confiscated by the State, which is the goal that has been established in this country as well.

CRT is terrorism and those who advocate CRT give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Are you referring to the two Orwell quotes I posted? The article mentions that leftists will throw out that Orwell was a democratic socialist. But even he hated the brutality. That is why I put in the Orwell quotes.

Because commie trash that take plans from the CCP but call themselves globalists have been told that the best way to destroy the West and capitalism is to lie to everyone about racism. CRT = promotion of racism.

Saying anything like: “your problems come from that guy over there whose skin is XXX” = racism. Not because the guy over there is an Ahole, because his color is different.

That is racism. And, it is the basis of CRT.
