The War on Reality
Steyn Online ^ | 15 Sep 2025 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 09/15/2025 7:33:22 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Americans no longer share sufficient reality to live together. To the left, Charlie Kirk's killer is a hardcore MAGA Christofascist who shot him because the disgusting totally racist misogynist homophobic Kirk was a bit of a pantywaist on the issues. According to the impeccably respectable Reuters, many experts agree:

Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the symbology found on the bullet casings suggests the shooter had affiliation with the so-called Groyper movement, associated with far-right activist and commentator Nick Fuentes.

(Some things are too stupid even for the mainstream press. Reuters subsequently "stealth-edited" their piece to entirely remove the above.)

To the right, on the other hand, Charlie Kirk's killer was dating a girl with a penis.

Might this not be more relevant, even at the Carnegie Endowment for International F**kwittery?

After all, he'd just been asked a question about transgender violence, and then he got shot. As I suggested the other day, the American left has now reached the same condition as "moderate" Islam. As I wrote - here it comes, folks; first of the week - twenty years ago ...oh, actually, no, a mere sixteen years ago in my book Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech and the Twilight of the West:

As Tasnim Aslam of the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad helpfully clarified, 'Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence.'

So don't say we're violent or we'll kill you. As I wrote in National Review at the time, quod erat demonstrandum.

And so the more or less official position of American "progressives" is that the murder of Charlie Kirk was pulled off by the right and that it was a great victory for the left ...and can we do JK Rowling next? This is the point at which the rest of us just try to back away without catching the "progressive"'s eye or suddenly startling him.

Why? Why would they do this?

Well, the answer's pretty obvious: if you can abolish biological sex, what can't you do? "Calling madness to the regeneration of the world" is an exercise in power. The mass trannification of your children greatly weakens the two most important obstacles to Big Government. First, the family - for, if you can "identify" as whatever tickles your fancy, then a family is anything ...and nothing. And second, and even more ambitiously, it weakens God - for, if you're "born in the wrong body", whose fault is that?

That's why they're now trebling down on it: if biological sex is a mere "social construct", all things are possible.

The Left loves to destroy America, all of this contributes.

After little consideration (snicker) I would say that "the right" considers the person dating Charlie Kirk's murderer was a deluded MAN, not a girl with a penis.
A relevant distinction, but you do you.

JMO, YMMV

Americans were brought to a sliver hoe of reality when Tonaldus Magnus was inaugurated..
)for those folks of Portland, Oregon, that was Ronald Reagan.)
Ever since then, every president has shaved away a slice of reality, until we Americans went blind to the act.
Bush and son, Clinton, Obama, and ending with President Trump first term in office.

The people became wise to Biden, even with corporate media being complicit.

America's geopolitical rivals - Tsar Putin, Chairman Xi - have the advantage of not only presiding over more or less conventional ethnostates but of societies where there are only two sexes.

Imagine that.

The only thing he did not bring up in this essay is the future civil war between islamists and the trannyfied left.

SCOTUS justice Anthony Kennedy stated in an opinion a few years ago that everyone had the right to whatever conception of the universe they believe in. No objective reality. Everything is what YOU feel. Madness, that’s what it is now.
The rejection of God, His laws, and natural law has unleashed the demons, and a whole generation of youth has collectively lost their minds and souls.

The reality is that America no longer shares a consensus of commonly held decent values or even the same perception of reality that it once had and made it great.

It could also be described as a war on God and a war on truth.

Americans have the right to learn about whatever origin(s) of the universe they’re interested in knowing more about.

The political Left in this country lives in its own reality. It moves further and further into a world that demands allegiance to it ideology. It can get worse.

The Left will take over any institution to its own purpose. Takeovers are part of the Left’s ideology. Control everything.

There is no war on Reality.....

...Because Reality is already long dead.

It only exists in the deep memories of a very few people.
