Progressive Delusions Are Fading Fast
The American Spectator ^ | July 6, 2025, 10:55 PM | Lou Aguilar

The cultural turnaround has begun. And I’m happy to be part of it — unlike my former friends.

The biggest downside to being blocked by progressive former friends — like most in my old Hollywood circle — is I don’t get to observe their total breakdown as the liberal dreamworld crumbles around them. Yet every argument I made to them was exalted last Fourth of July, when President Trump and his gorgeous First Lady danced on the Truman Balcony as fireworks exploded over the incomparable Washington skyline. The couple were not only celebrating the 249th anniversary of the greatest country in the history of Earth but the best two weeks for any presidency in my lifetime. And though I couldn’t see or hear it, I could feel the wailing of my ex-mates all the way from the opposite coast.

They didn’t need social media to read my views over the past five years — overtly communicated in this publication and more subtly in my novels. The latter defied their Hollywoke masters’ rules by depicting clever masculine white men and sexy feminine women who share a mutual attraction minus phony incursions into each other’s forte. The former rejected all their utopian fantasies — such as women can beat up men twice their weight. But it took a two-week tidal wave to drown many of the Left’s sacred cows, while I surfed it. Here are the fatal five.

Delusion One — Trump Will Cause Global Chaos

The Trump-authorized tactical strike on three Iranian nuclear installations halted, probably forever, the existential threat to Israel and the United States. Instead of provoking World War III (as even some Chicken Littles on the Right shrieked), Iran agreed to a ceasefire with Israel and promised no retaliatory strikes against America...

Very enjoyable read.

The “enragement” and primal screams of the lefties are music to my ears.

The cultural turnaround has not begun. So long as the majority of the people in our country are dependent on the government for their daily bread we will be supplicants to the party that gives us the most stuff. Republicans, conservatives, MAGA cannot out promise and out spend the progressive totalitarian Demonrat party.

Eventually saying yes to the far lefts agenda will be the price we pay for our monthly checks.

This country will no longer tolerate less in the way of social welfare spending. Not even FR can stomach the idea of reduced spending.

They actually are not.

The leftoids are living more and more every day in fantasy land. Unreality. They are knowingly self-delusional on purpose because they refuse to acknowledge the truths around them that don’t fit their narratives and worldview.

You’re right. Example: the MSNBC types are still saying “With the unpopularity of everything in the big bill and the way it will cut benefits to everyone, how can the GOP expect to campaign now? Just not talk about it?”

MSNBC is clinically delusional. Good point.

Lou Aguilar was born in Cuba and lived there until age six, when his anti-Castro scholar father flew the family to America one step ahead of a firing squad.

If you do read it to the end he mentions something I find very interesting. I’ve heard about Stalin wanting to have John Wayne murdered. This man is writing a script for a movie about that. That is something I’d very much like to watch if it ever gets made.

“So long as the majority of the people in our country are dependent on the government for their daily bread ...”

While true today if that ‘majority’ were reduced to USA citizens only, the social contract would be manageable. Purging all non-citizens from these programs and eventually from this country would be highly beneficial.

Medicaid was intended for those living below the poverty line. There are 35 million Americans currently living below the poverty line ... but there are 100 million people receiving Medicaid. The BBB attempts to fix that.

I have no progressive friends or family that I would ever associate with. I prefer to enjoy life.

This war, and it's going to be a war, with the supposedly left has not even begun. And It's not going to be against a bunch of wild-eyed faggots and fools from Hollywood. It's going to against that “One World” bunch and the 20+ million invaders that Obama and his crew have managed to bring into our nation.
Sure, Trump is on the right track, but if he can't manage to put some of those rotten sons in the higher up parts our government in the can for sedition, and even outright treason, his success will be short lived..
To imply, at this point in time, that “All is going to be great again” is a farce.

Good Read. I want to see his John Wayne vs Joe Stalin movie. It will mark the revival of Hollywood. Maybe Musk can start a Movie Studio?

Delusion One — Trump Will Cause Global Chaos.

Delusion Two – Only Comprehensive Immigration Reform Can Deter Border Crossings

Delusion Three — Federal Court Judges Will Delay Trump’s Mad MAGA Agenda

Delusion Four — Trump’s Tariffs Will Create Economic Disaster.

Delusion Five — Transwomen Are Women

Those numbers don’t add up. 75% of the budget goes to social welfare spending. Getting rid of illegals on the tit won’t put a dent in the overall spending number. The majority of adults in this country do not work or at least don’t work in the private sector. There are more people in the wagon than there are pulling the wagon.

The majority of illegals work in the real economy which is the economy that excludes al all levels of government employees, organizations funded by government, or jobs dependent on government spending or drawing a social welfare check including SS. So send them all home will reduce employment in the real economy more than it reduces welfare spending. Thats not meant to defend illegals just a fact.
