The tide is turning against the woke-liberal Blob that misrules us
NY Post ^ | 17 June2021 | Glenn H Reynolds

For the past year, liberals unleashed on the nation an avalanche of ideological nonsense, coupled with brutal pressure to conform. Those who bucked the party line found themselves canceled and unpersoned and had their opinions subjected to mockery and claims of delusion and “anti-science” prejudices.

Until now. Because the tide is turning. And sometimes the break from the party line comes from surprising places.

Late-night comics are usually reliable parroters of the message of the day. So it says something that last week, Bill Maher launched an impassioned critique of “woke” culture, while this week, Jon Stewart went on Stephen Colbert’s show to say in no uncertain terms that it looks like the Wuhan coronavirus came from . . . the Wuhan lab.

Using a term from Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, Maher accused liberals of “progressophobia” — “a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress.”

A lot of good Americans are looking for leaders who will tell them what they as individuals can do, and to lead by example.

Love Prof Reynolds but what is the point of “shifting tides” when the Second Civil War is still going to be along leftist battle lines. When does the tide turn on restoring our Constitutional Republic, for example?

Their latest initiative might be turned back by 90%, but the remaining 10% will be marked indelibly into our culture. A victory for them, a continuation of a string of victories for them.

You think the majority of people in Russia supported the Bolsheviks? They probably maybe had 10% support at the most, did it matter?

They themselves will, their mission is suicidal ultimately.

Not before they take us all down with them.

The Russians, and Eastern Europeans especially, seem to have had quite enough of that Bolshevik experiment. They had a thoroughly miserable time getting to this point.

Can’t be done. We need a new government.

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee are among the members of Congress who led the effort to to make Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday.

It was voted unanimously by the Senate. And a year ago, nobody outside of Texas even knew what it was. Until some flunky noticed Trump scheduled a rally on the date, and it spread like wildfire through the media, and then the politicians picked up on it. This is the blueprint they are using, and it works, and they will use it again.

You’re depressed? That’s a badge of honor!

Though, I’d like to take this opportunity to strongly suggest you reconsider using that socialist enabling platform, it seems to help and finance the left more than anything.
