One thing enemies of the United States fail to understand is not that we will not be defeated by them, it’s that they don’t have to waste their time trying. For all the bluster hostile world leaders spew towards us, they’ve missed the real secret to destroying the United States: they don’t have to do anything but wait, Democrats will do it for them.
It’s true that many of our enemies would like the bragging rights of being “the one” who did us in, but bragging rights don’t really apply when you lose. And they’d lose. Patience is the only tactic that will work for those who’d like to do us harm, and the Democratic Party is their weapon.
There is nothing the Democratic Party is fighting to impose on the country or any tactic they’re employing that will actually strengthen our position in the world. Of all the damaging “progressive” ideas they’re advancing – profligate spending through the printing of money, taking over of the health care system, destruction of individual liberties, etc. – it is infecting society with critical race theory garbage and identity politics that are doing the most damage.
Democrats have turned victimhood into something to aspire to – it’s the Bitcoin of American politics now, the coin of the realm. And who doesn’t wish they’d gotten into Bitcoin early?
Now, being a “social justice warrior” can be the fast-track to enormous wealth. One of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter is so oppressed they she picked up a $1.4 million compound in Los Angeles. So “down with the struggle” that she’s moving to an 88 percent white neighborhood. If I had known “helping the poor and oppressed” was so lucrative, I might’ve tried a different vocation. Meanwhile, every weekend more people are shot in Chicago, including children, they go unremarked upon without even a small piece of that purchase price being broken off as a reward for information to bring those perpetrators to justice.
Sean Combs, known professionally (this week) as “Diddy,” is busy painting himself as a victim too. His net worth is $740 million, and he seems mad that he hasn’t achieved the third comma to make him a billionaire. He penned a letter to corporate America demanding they spend more on advertising on “black owned media.”
“If you love us, pay us,” Combs’ letter is titled. He argues that black owned media is owed a bigger slice of what is spent on advertising. “No longer can Corporate America manipulate our community into believing that incremental progress is acceptable action,” he whines.
Combs owns “Revolt TV,” an awful, wildly unpopular “network,” if you can call it that. Without viewers, he feels wronged that companies aren’t paying him for ad time like he has an audience. Meanwhile, last July he proudly announced, “THE HONORABLE MINISTER FARRAKHAN’S ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE WORLD!!!! TODAY ON” Revolt. If you want to be embraced by corporate America, maybe don’t sing the praises of the country’s leading racist and anti-Semite?
There are, of course, no downsides to doing so on the left, which means the popular culture now.
Administration officials are chosen for their irrelevant characteristics more than their qualifications. There is no rational explanation for the appointment of someone like Rachel Levine to be Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services other than that she was born Richard Levine, unless you want someone responsible for thousands of deaths in Pennsylvania nursing homes to spread that incompetence nationwide. Unless you want to check a box, virtue signal, and congratulate yourself on how “progressive” you are.
That’s what the left is now – the world’s longest virtue signal; an emergency flair of wokeness. Reality be damned. And it must be destroyed.
It can’t just be beaten, if it’s beaten it will be repackaged and be back, it has to be humiliated beyond repair.
Progressivism was dominant at the beginning of the 20th century in both parties – the idea that government, run by elites, knew best how people should live their lives was all the rage. But Germany and Italy’s aggression, coupled with the Soviet Union, caused the open embrace of it to recede.
Now it’s back, with a vengeance. And it’s just as damaging to the cause of liberty as it ever was. What the allies did in World War II, what the United States did in the Cold War, must be done again, domestically this time by voters. Because, make no mistake about it, domestically is from where the greatest threat against this country is coming.
