“progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power”

That’s the left’s only point. All the policy pronouncements, utopian b.s. and societal division are just techniques for this ultimate goal.

So it is wrong to say that leftism doesn’t work. It works spectacularly. At attaining power over YOU!

BUT seems half our nation is easily fooled as half stick to Biden in spite of all this, denying the horror of the last 3 years.......

Such being a fact says our nation is doomed..

Polls ought to show Trump at 75% and Biden at 25%.........

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Few on the left praise the disastrous COVID lockdown, the canonization of Dr. Fauci, the mask and social-distancing craze, and the gospel that endless boosters were necessary to protect Americans. Even the left, although again quietly, assumes that the lockdowns did more damage than the virus, that Dr. Fauci repeatedly lied when he swore he did not subsidize gain-of-function viral research at the Chinese top-security virology lab at

In response to the headline, it must be said that what “works” is not their point. The Left is in rebellion against God, Nature, etc... They are not interested in a functioning society.

Sen John Kennedy got off the best line on Biden polling.

“Biden’s popularity polls are right up there with fungal infections.”

The Left is in rebellion against God, Nature,

I agree. The left is like the intolerable teenager raging against their parents. A full-time temper tantrum and they don't care who they hurt or what they break..

The Left knows it but will never openly admit it.

When evil individuals have no consequences for their actions, they will continue to do evil.

><

That’s so true. But it’s to the point where they will suffer the consequence. Their arrogance and pride has given them a false sense of security. Now they will suffer the consequences in one way or another.

—to retain power at all costs...

The stupidity driven by the emotions and laziness in many humans is sufficient for left leadership to reap rich harvests at the polls. Until adequate misery exists to penetrate enough thick skulls to bring change, in one way or another ...

We were lied to for nearly four years that the border was “secure,” as 10 million foreign nationals flooded...

When we are lied to for FOUR years about anything and nothing is done about it by the so-called 'leaders' who are supposed to be providing oversight or law enforcement then that little clause in the Declaration that outlines our (we the people) responsibility and duty should apply!
