Very profound.

Agreed. My fear is that people of influence who are uninformed, partially educated, and motivated by feelings of sweetness and light are being swept up by the chewed-up leftist platitudes that pass for common sense in this era. They really do want to make the world a better place, and they are enthralled by the purity and goodness of their intentions.
I’ve seen this during my years in the print media, and now as a teacher in a high school - I’ve worked with fine people whom you would trust with your house while on vacation, yet their ideological slant reflects what they feel to be polite and enlightened. So it is that couples married monogamously for decades cheerfully support sex education and gay marriage that undermines their own chosen lifestyle, caring teachers casually shunt kids into ethnic and racial pigeonholes out of concern for education, and the sons of legal migrants argue on behalf of those who break immigration law.
That’s the horror. They mean well. They hide their hubris from themselves. Eventually, when the edifice falls apart, history tells me that confused people often seek the strong man. God help us.
Very profound.
