I was watching a conservative rally yesterday, and a lot of what was said was incredibly spot on. Some, too flag-wavy for me; although I am less knee-jerk against ‘patriotism’ than I used to be. I did find them to sound mostly SANE. And that’s something I never hear on the left any more. One take away was the President of Praeger U saying how the left destroys everything. HE IS CORRECT. It took me years to agree with that, but since I’ve been involved in the battles, I experienced it up close and personal. While he clearly distinguishes liberals from ‘the left’, my take is a bit different. I was criticizing mostly liberals, not the left, thinking that people like me are the left. The people who are anti-war, and for helping create a more equitable society. But that’s not who this ‘left’ is – and that’s why I don’t consider myself part of them any more. Unlike Praeger, while I do see different factions of ‘left’ thought, I am seeing liberals as the driving force behind the current craziness that is destroying society; namely 1) the Covid19 hoax & resulting orders which are destroying lives; 2) the Trans Agenda debacle, which is destroying free speech and women’s and children’s rights and safety; and 3) Anti-racism, which is completely racist and seeks to re-create a segregated society that lefties fought AGAINST in the 1960s! 4) Designating free resources such as education and medical care for illegal immigrants but not actual American citizens! 5) Pushing porn and bizarre sexual ‘education’ on young kids.
And all the while aligning themselves with the same neocons who started the Afghanistan and Iraq wars under false pretenses. Those are the ones who are running the Democrat party now, and who will be in the new cabinet, and who these same ‘lefties’ protested against 20 years ago.
Subsets of these insane agendas are cult-like adherence to dogma, normalizing pedophilia and fetish, normalizing pornography, even violent porn, making prostitution something to aspire to, creating a culture in which white people have no say about anything, creating a culture where political correctness is so extreme no one can say anything, making ‘hate speech’ illegal, without anyone defining what it is, among a host of other things. The demands they make on society is that we all share in their delusions: That men can magically become women, that there is a deadly pandemic that you are responsible for if you don’t go through the rituals of forced muzzling and sanitizing, that people are born in the wrong bodies and can ‘imagine’ themselves into the right one, that all white people are white supremacists and racists no matter how they behave in the world. This is insanity – and it’s no exaggeration. This is why now, I find I can agree more with conservatives on just about every issue these days. At least they mostly live in a reality-based world where people get their feelings hurt and recover; where not everybody wins a trophy, you have to earn it. Some basic and normal ideals that I grew up but now have been replaced with parents who control every second of their kids’ existence and reward them just for existing. No wonder they are confused messes when they get to adulthood.
These insane agendas are now in the process of destroying all universities and colleges, and have turned several cities into cesspools. Have you seen San Francisco, Portland or Seattle, or Chicago lately?
It is sad that the left destroyed itself. Hell, I think it was engineered. But sadly, too many didn’t spot what was going on, and are now in the throes of believing the dogma and violently attacking those that don’t. Another thing I’ve noticed while engaging both with the left and conservatives, I don’t see conservatives attacking each other like the lefties do. I mean, at all. They are more community minded. The left seems to have a culture that is awash in celebrities, outer appearance, and some weird quest for ‘acceptance’ by ALL of society. So a devotion to shallow aspirations. I want no part of that.

Have your say!
