Our Purgatory Is Their Nirvana
American Greatness ^ | October 20, 2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

One man’s anarchy is another’s road to justice.

Sheer chaos and anarchy on the border?

Afghanistan—the most humiliating defeat in recent U.S. military history?

A labor-starved supply chain in shambles and holiday shelves emptying out?

The worst inflation in 30 years that seems soon ready to match Carter-era levels?

Gas hitting $5 a gallon with winter heating fuels soaring?

Free-for-all looting in the major cities without consequences?

Joe Biden’s policies and Biden himself diving in the polls?

Never in recent American history has any administration birthed such disasters in its first nine months.

Yet most Americans are arguing not over the sheer chaos and disasters of the Biden Administration, but rather how could such sheer pre-civilizational calamity occur in modern America?

Were these disasters a result of historic incompetency? Or mean-spirited nihilism? Or a deliberate effort to create the necessary turbulence to birth a new American revolution? Or a bit of all three?

Start instead with the idea that what most Americans see as sheer ruin is not what the left-wing puppeteers, who are pulling the strings of the Biden marionette, see.

Our catastrophes are their minor glitches. For them bad polling is mostly a public relations problem of an occasional uncooperative media. Otherwise, a few broken eggs are always necessary to create the perfect socialist omelet.

The Left now controlling Washington believes that the U.S. border is a mere construct. Every impoverished person has a birthright to cross into America illegally. The 2 million who are scheduled to enter this fiscal year alone is a wonderful, if occasionally sloppy, event.

Our border calamity is their celebration of humanity and a long-overdue recalibration of ossified American demography, one that will properly warp the Electoral College to provide the necessary election result.

If you believe that a culturally imperialistic America needs to be taken down a notch overseas, then the flight from...

From a certain point of view, the demonrats have opened themselves up to the dark side the same as they have opened the American border up to anything and everything that wants to cross it.

Kinda like with the doors and windows of your home, imagine what creatures great and small might come in if you left everything wide open 24/7 … and why would you want to do that?

It’s the same with being so open to the dark side … so, from that point of view, can you imagine what’s really in power over us now?

But you don’t have to imagine … you just have to look at the whos and the whys of those in power over us now and check their results so far.

“Yes, they did mean to do that.” Food for thought as we continue down this road.

As usual, VDH is on the money. I’ve been watching this unfold, and if it weren’t so painful and tragic, it would be unbelievably fascinating.

Stolen Elections have consequences.
That is what 01/06 was trying to prevent.

VDH is brilliant, but I think he’s been with academics too long.

The leftist professors know that socialism doesn’t work.

They just keep lying about socialism working to help protect their pals, the Democrat leaders.

Mao and Stalin and Pol Pot and Castro weren’t out in the fields pulling turnips.

They were in the palaces.

Telling everyone that they were socialists.

The leftist professors know that.

VDH exactly right as usual.

which means that the only peaceful way out of this civil war is if the roughly half of the country who like this “nirvana” or who could care less about who is in control as long as they get their check and free stuff undergo a transformation of soul.

that’s when i pray that our Lord Jesus removes the scales of blindness from the eyes of enough of them to keep the earthly peace. nonetheless, Father, Thy will be done. In Jesus Name i ask, Amen.

I believe “Brave New World” is seen by them as a blueprint the should aim for.
