Recent political events that have unfolded over the past year have revealed a disturbing pattern of an identity politics-fueled progressivism, evolving from its once distasteful authoritarian impulses, towards a more sinister version, that increasingly exhibits totalitarian proclivities. From the tactics used to coerce or extort corporate compliance with the policy preferences of progressives to the current struggle to inculcate public school children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT), in word and deed, progressive ideologues are mirroring the tactics used by the former Soviet Union to crush all political opposition and exact compliance with their divisive ideology.
The political tactics of progressive partisans, carried out and nurtured through the political institution of the Democratic Party and its subsidiary organizations, including the higher education establishment, the media, and now in corporations, have become overweening, ruthless, acrimonious, and unapologetically extreme.
Rise of the Progressive Politburo
Over the past five years, the pursuit of progressive politics has gone well beyond intemperance. Progressives have the dubious distinction of successfully standing on its head Clausewitz's dictum, that war is the continuation of politics by other means. For the hard left wing of the Democratic Party, it is politics that is the continuation of war by other means.
Individuals who disregard the commandments of the political correctness religion are punished by being blacklisted and ostracized from civil society, forced to attend sensitivity training sessions, or engage in acts of public self-flagellation, complete with confessions for desecrating the inviolable provisions of identity politics, issued and enforced by progressive zealots in academia, the media, and the Democratic Party.

Ronald Reagan tried to warn us in his “A time for choosing” speech.
Summed up in my tagline.
No kidding.
It was RINO-controlled state legislatures that handed the Steal to Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID. All because of their petty hatred of Trump and those of us who voted for him. If these legislatures had conservative majorities, Trump would still be president, the Senate would still be controlled by the GOP, and we would not be living in the woke clown world we now have to endure on a daily basis.
I believe there is a huge undercurrent of rage against these RINO traitors that is going to result in an epic purge in the 2022 primaries. I sure do hope so.
I think Trump is waiting to see if this will happen. After all, what's the point of him running in 2024 if the RINOs still control the legislatures in GA, PA, AZ, MI, and WI? They'll just let the Dems steal it again.
<>The way to beat Democrats is to purge the RINOs from the GOP.<>
It’s a fool’s errand. In DC, the payola for going along to get along is far too tempting for most to resist. What is needed is repeal of the 17th Amendment. The Framers wisely limited the popular element to a House of Reps.
