American Life under Liberal Conformism
NRO ^ | 26 July 2024 | Michael Brendan Dougherty

News organizations are actively engaging in exactly the practice carried out by Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, memory-holing their previous publications to fit the new party line. Kamala Harris was never a border czar; that’s right-wing disinformation now. All previous references to her being the border czar, an unofficial title and real role given to her by Biden and his close advisers to humiliate and embarrass her, have been duly erased. And while we’re at it, how about a round of applause for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the astounding unity of the Democratic Party!

...

Now liberal opinion marches around ostentatiously like a North Korean military parade, performing impossible-seeming about-faces and quick-time maneuvers while holding bayonets up, sharply fixed. Anyone who even accidentally goes against the routine is bound to be impaled.

I’ve watched liberals converge on the opinion that anti-Chinese racism was more dangerous than the coronavirus and that the vaguely libertarian Silicon Valley people who were concerned about it were kind of racist. Then, almost overnight, they converged on the opposite opinion, that the coronavirus was a threat that justified the suspension of normal life indefinitely. Also, they improbably converged on the theory that it was racist to believe that the virus had emerged from a lab in Wuhan that was experimenting with coronaviruses. Somehow, because progressives believed it, it was less racist to believe that it emerged from the folklore-driven superstition and disgusting hygiene practices around Chinese wet markets.

And then, even as religious minorities were being demonized as antisocial sociopaths and killers for gathering — outside, no less — for funerals, liberal opinion instantly switched to the idea that social distancing was no longer mandatory, enormous public demonstrations (and riots) were now mandatory, and so was defunding the police.

What kills me is that I think a lot of young people today would read “1984” and say — “That perfectly describes what America would be like if we elected Donald Trump.”

They cannot see what is right in front of their face.

Have they also erased the House Resolution 253? It’s officially in the record. She was and is Border Czar. They can try to walk that back, but they can’t erase the record.

News organizations are actively engaging in exactly the practice of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

That’s because they’re blind to the truth.

"That’s because they’re blind to the truth."

They are not blind to the truth, they know the truth and are lying, communist demons.
