"Liberalism moves, therefore, toward radical individualism and the corruption of standards that movement entails. By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified... Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is its own negation: the artificial, mechanized or brutalized control which is a desperate remedy for its chaos."
Those near-prophetic words were written nearly three decades ago by the late great Robert Bork in his landmark book, "Slouching Towards Gomorrah."
He was right about everything.
And he would know. His name became a verb after then-Senator Joe Biden and his buddy Sen. Ted Kennedy made the conscious decision to politicize the judiciary to block Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court. Biden and Kennedy made a farce of the hearings, falsely accusing Bork of everything from wanting to ban birth control to wanting to force blacks to sit at separate lunch tables. Judicial hearings have never recovered from Biden's abuse of power and evil machinations — which have only gotten worse as he's gained more power.
Now, 27 years after the publication of Bork's book, we're being led by "the most foolish" (and demented) people in our nation. Public education has become a bastion of indoctrination, and Americans increasingly eschew wisdom in favor of the most clever TikTok video. Our political system seems to be irreparably broken, and the administrative state seeks to control every aspect of our lives — in many cases, the "brutalized control" Bork predicted.
The 2020s will be remembered as the decade where lawfare became the foremost political tactic of the Left, thwarting candidates by tying them up in legal troubles...

Yes it is too late.
The Left has captured every institution in the West.
There is no reform possible.
Only a rebuilding after the Regime collapse.
In 9 MONTHS it might be over, but then again, it’s still possible that Trump will win (despite the best efforts of the trolls here telling you not to vote).
Probably.
What would Jesus do? Or rather, what would He have me do?
Because …..
He is still only 1 guy.
The DC establishment isn’t just gonna roll over and concede everything SHOULD the Donald actually beat the steal this time.
They’ll double down - again.
.
The way I see Trump in victory, is that he gives us four years of breathing room to better prepare and arrange your life. It’s like a patrol running for its life in the jungle, and one man plants himself with a machine gun and holds the enemy at bay while others escape. Trump is a hero… I hold no illusions he can change America, but he is a true man for his efforts.
What their parents and grandparents had been unable to do, the "leaders", all but one, were RED DIAPER BABIES, most were over 30 but told their brain dead followers to :"NEVER TRUST ANYONE OVER THIRTY!" and many fell into that trap!
Sadly, the parents of these idiot children never fought back, so when those teens and young adults, once they had their own children, turned a blind eye to what was going on and then, what followed. So here we are.
Our elections are now what the left say they are and WE let that happen. Is it to late to change? Maybe so but I Pray God it isn’t!
My understanding of Bible eschatology is that globalized socialism is just before the coming of the Christ. I think this is where we are at.
“The DC establishment isn’t just gonna roll over and concede everything SHOULD the Donald actually beat the steal this time. They’ll double down - again.”
Yep, but at least he knows what he’s up against this time. Last time he was like 99% of Republicans, thinking that perhaps “A New Tone” will turn the Democrats into humans.
He’s learned.
That’s the problem...It will be just one term...We really have to have someone like Trump follow him...
What have we done over the past four years to protect this?
Yes, it is too late.
I don’t advocate deliberately throwing elections, or not voting. But the focus on elections and election “wins” is part of the problem.
Conservatives in every Western country have won plenty of elections in the last 50 year, including some huge Presidential wins.
Meanwhile, the Left systematically captured every institution. And here we are.
bfl
We’re already in Post-Constitutional America.
By now, Trump is nothing more than a protest vote.
Regime collapse won't happen. They won't allow it. And we refuse to do that which is necessary: stop consenting. See tagline. We'll come to accept our peaceful marxism, whether we like it or not won't matter.
