How Animal Farm is Playing Out in the Democrat Party
Intellectual Takeout ^ | 4 Mar 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

Tennis great Martina Navratilova until recently had long been coronated as a social justice trailblazer. She was one of the first marquee celebrity athletes to come out as gay, and then to advocate lesbian issues in and out of sports. But suddenly the icon seems out of step with her progressive legend status.

Navratilova had the temerity to suggest that one’s sex is biologically determined. In other words, transgenderism, even with the imprimatur of the social and biological sciences, cannot trump our innate genetic codes.

A frustrated Navratilova was editorializing mostly in the context of men “transitioning” to women, while in many cases still enjoying innate muscular and size advantages over females in same-sex sporting events. As a result, she is being demonized unfairly as an intersectional traitor (“transphobic”) and thus increasingly disinvited from a number of events by what is known as the LGBTQ community.

In other words, her intersectional femaleness and gayness are revoked by improper ideology.

Barack Obama, once the progressive “god” who was acclaimed to have the power to cool the planet and halt the rising of the seas, had the recent audacity to suggest, quite understandably, that young black teens need not ostentatiously show their wealth with gaudy chains, or highlight their sexuality with a cadre of “twerking” girls. Worse, the now multi-million-dollar-mansion-residing Obama sort of suggested that young inner-city African-Americans who do such gauche things might be insecure about either their income or their sexuality.

Martina’s right though. As this is progressing, the future will be a Male league, and a Trans league. Biological women will be pushed out.

Today the term “transitioning to be women” means “pretending to be women”. Martina was simply stating the obvious.

So now appears Jussie Smollett.

He is not just left-wing, but a rabid hater of Donald Trump. And he is not just black, but gay as well. And he is not just a victim, but a hyper-victim of white bullies. And not just bullies, but bullies with MAGA hats. And he is not just a victim of white red-hats, but a victim of ski-masked racists. And not just of their blows, but of (frozen?) bleach. And not just of bleach and blows, but of lynch rope as well. And they did not just hit, but smeared and slurred. And not just MAGA sloganeering, but anti-gay, anti-black—and perhaps, worst of all, in our performance society, they slandered his “Empire” TV show!

Progressives are like a worn rope being pulling apart at both ends. At one end, there is an effort to radicalize prior radicalization, and on the other end victimhood is heading toward parody.

And what is left is the emblematic Jussie Smollett—the logical result of the revolution, who alone has staked out the only authentic and ultimate revolutionary stance: nihilism—a state where no one can possibly rival Jussie’s revolutionary grievance credentials because they cannot exist in a reality based world.

Or put another way, when no one is revolutionary enough, the revolutionary auditors end up ridiculous in their zeal for power and celebrity—sort of like Orwell’s radical pigs finally prancing about on two legs and feasting on silver, sort of like Jussie Smollett leveraging the ultimate state of victimhood for a better deal on “Empire.”

I have a lot of respect for Martina. A true trailblazer. She defected from communist Czechoslovakia when that was a dangerous action. She led the way to other athletes leaving the communist bloc, for example, Ivan Lendl. She is a virulent anti-Communist.

The fall of the Democrat party at the hands of the Social Justice Warriors will be the stuff of legend.

Donald Trump has caused a Mass Hysteria, and they are helpless to contain it.

I have my input to my Republican, Conservative, and POTUS, Trump supporters out there across the great states, cities & towns, etc.

The Democrat party is, with each passing day, destroying itself internally with it own instigated actions. Please give them free rein to self-implode, as they are doing quite well on so many different fronts. Go easy on the criticism, which I, myself have not adhered to...going after the low life Democrat living scum & vermin humanity with every scheme they bring forth. But...I now say, let them sink themselves...they are doing a magnificent job of destroying the Democrat Party, politically.

The Democrats have no leaders....shucks...I would not let Pelosi or Schumer take out our evening garbage...they are so incompetent. The Democrats, also, have no viable, competitive POTUS candidates.....Harris, O’Rourke, Booker, Warren, Gillibrand, Biden, Sanders, Castro, etc., are a living functional joke!!!

And...to boot, the two radical Pro-Cuba, Pro-Venezuela, Mussie (Muslim) Chickie “Jew/Israel” Haters, combined with the nutcase, brain dead, Socialist/Communist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and, clueless, Bernie Sanders (The Ardent Venezuelan, Madero, Lover) are doing a fine job at becoming “The Brand New Adolf Hitler Quartet”.

Lord, may the current failing, Politically Democrat Party die an uneventful, but permanent political death!!! Amen!!!

"Today the term “transitioning to be women” means “pretending to be women”. Martina was simply stating the obvious."

Oh...then "crossdressing" or "transvestite" or "Drag Queen" isn't a thing any more? That's all the poor things can do, even if their hand slips while circumcising themselves. I'll wait until they find a way to change that "Y" chromosome to an "X."

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

The term “transitioning to be women” more accurately translates to “rapist donning camouflage”.

I agree with what you’ve written ... but don’t discount the stupidity of American voters.
