Where did you get the notion that Progressives want unity?

Progressives don’t want unity, they want submission.

First off the term progressive is ridiculous. These people would put us back to medieval serfdom.

“Where did you get the notion that Progressives want unity?”

What they want is POWER over others. No different than Hitler, Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot. The question is whether we let them...and many on our side seem to want that outcome, as opposed to supporting the only entity, at this time, able to slow them down or stop them (the Republicans). They’re very close, a few more seats in Congress, plus the White House, and we won’t be discussing politics anymore...instead we’ll be wondering why they’re putting us in cattle cars - at least for most Americans.

Cancel culture IS the New World Order.
YouTuber Jenna Marbles was canceled by the New World Order.
Our society has to confront whether they really want this sterilization of our culture or if they prefer being human instead.

Don’t expect the left to ever exercise restraint when the behavior is fueled by blind hatred and getting results.

I do not desire unity with progressives. Not even the old progressives and certainly not these nothing left of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to them anymore sort.

I desire their humiliation, repudiation and absolute defeat. They belong on the ash heap of history.

That is right out of the commie play book. Re-define terms and use them — peasants won’t notice until it is too late.

As to cancel culture vs unity. Uhh, gonna take a ‘Ell of a lot more. How do you expect me to forget being called a racist since 2015? Try the Hillary “At this point what difference does it make?” routine? No, history matters. It always has. YOUR history as a scheming turd will and should always be remembered. Until you compensate for that, I wouldn’t consider unifying with you to fight your house on fire.

Progressives don’t want unity; they want diversity.

There can be no unity

There can be no coexistence

It’s them or us

Trump knew that but did nothing about it

This is a fight, no unity, just winners and losers.

They don’t want “unity” they want total, undisputed, raw power over every facet of our lives from cradle to grave. If we resist they’ll have absolutely no trouble just ordering us killed.

“ Cancel culture flies in the face of progressives’ central optimism.”

I quit reading right here. What the hell is CENTRAL OPTIMISM?

I think I understand today’s leftists, (they’re not liberals and certainly nothing they think is progressive so I won’t use their coopted language), since I have lived behind the curtain in the Soviet of Washington for over 40 years. Being optimistic is a state of mind that leftists cannot conceptualize.

To be optimistic you have to be determined, happy, humble, insightful, and you have to understand where you’ve been in order to know where to go. These are all attributes the leftists or Marxists do not possess.

Today’s Marxists are the most uniformed, unhappy, nihilistic luddites that have ever existed in mankind. Central optimism (whatever that means), is a fallacy especially when associated with the leftists.

What a rube. Cancel Culture -- in extremis #MeToo -- is eliminating progessives from their own deviant culture. Cuomo is next.

Whoever wants this to stop or wastes hundreds of words on it wanting it to stop is a RUBE.

I’m sick of people like you saying “Trump did nothing about it”

What the hell is wrong with you? Trump did everything he could to fight the Marxist bastards only to be stabbed in the back by the assistant democrats Ryan, Boehner, Turtle McConnell and other “team R” turncoats.

He needed help and none came. How many times did Trump tell staff to do something only to be ignored or have a law suit filed against him.

Your kind make me ill. Your are what used to be called a keyboard cowboy, all type and no action, the very worst of internet denzians.

Progressives are the cancel culture but expect other results.

I wish it were true that history matters, but people today cant even remember that Democrats are the party of pro-slavery, and the KKK. I have actually had Democrats argue with me ... well that was then, but now its the Republicans. I say “oh really?” Who was it that opposed the voting rights act in the 60’s?” “Robert Byrd, Dem Senator from WV was in the KKK and he only died in the last 20 years”. “At what point is it that you think the Democrats stopped being racist and the republicans started?”
