America Is Being Held Hostage by a Progressive Left That Represent 6% of the Electorate
PJ media ^ | 11/12/2021 | Stacey Lennox

The radical left has taken over the culture. From racialized and sexualized curriculum in K-12 to the American Medical Association policing the language of its members to ensure that it is “inclusive,” the ideologies from the university sociology department are being shoved down America’s throat. You are not supposed to believe your own lying eyes, and a person’s lived experience supersedes all objective data. Now, the word “woke” is problematic, even though the progressives coined it.

If you violate the ever-changing rules of the woke coalition, you can lose your social media account, your reputation, and even your job. They govern what you can watch, how movies get cast, and who wins the awards. Even comedians, who are supposed to touch the third rail, are subjected to the wrath of their offense. Words are violence, and violence is speech. Men can be women and shut up bigots.

These narratives are so overwhelming that one may assume that a large portion of the population shares them. However, a new Pew Research study debunks that idea. So the next time you are sitting in a corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion training session, remember that only 6% of the population thinks this way. Pew Research refers to them as the Progressive Left. According to the study results:

Progressive Left are more liberal than the three other Democratic-oriented groups on many issues. For example, while majorities in all four of these groups favor a bigger government providing more services, Progressive Left are most likely to express this view. When asked a follow-up question about how much bigger the government should be, 63% of Progressive Left say government services should “greatly expand” from current levels – a far higher share than any other group.

We can only hope that if we beat their brains in at the polls next year, they’ll stuff their crazies back in their cages. They never go away; that’s the best that can be hoped for

The media is far left, and they drive this.

The public is just inattentive and stupid.

They control:

Most news outlets

Social Media

Film

Television

Most news sources

Most colleges

Most K-12 schools

They’re never going away. Look at the changes to America just in the last 10 years. All of our major institutions are corrupt. It will accelerate in decline.

But we know how the Book ends...

The far left is the militant wing of the Democrat party.

"The public is just inattentive and stupid."

This is uncalled for. In the beginning Americans willingly surrender their children to government schools. Let me re-write that. Many if not most conservatives included, willingly surrender their children to government schools.

Above all else, the government schools controlled by progressives pound our kids to death that they MUST under all circumstances trust the experts. This has been the case for decades. You must trust the experts in science, in history, in technology, in any other place or field.

Journalists are the experts. That's just the fact that society holds. It's an incorrect notion that we well know here on Free Republic, but it is what it is.

Americans are simply doing what the schools have pounded into them. That's not within the realm of stupidity. It's a huge challenge unplugging someone from the matrix that the schools and the journalists have created.

They hold power purely by illusion.

We need to bust the illusion, but it will take courage and backbone. In other words, some skulls will need to crack.

I’m afraid what this tells me is that the average Karen is tougher and has more resolve.

***********

There is only one thing left that can save this country: the onset of a seriously painful economic debacle. That’s what it will take to wake people up. Well, that and perhaps some kind of tragic military incident. Nothing short of those kinds of event will change the trajectory of national decline we are on.

Fear and pain are the only things that get people’s attention I’m afraid.

Criminals is more correct I think. Socialism is just an excuse that sick minds use to wreak havoc on society. Some people just want to burn everything down.
