And I’m seeing this, of course, a lot. Even kids in our best schools have lost the ability to understand WHAT I AM SAYING. The words are lost on them. What they hear is on a continuum from “he is with us”, which creates a harmonious sound in their brain, to “he is NOT with us: HE IS ONE OF THEM!!!”, which of course creates a symphony of disaster, a perfection of mismatch, a genius of cacophony. It is unpleasant. It makes them draw away. It makes them hate the creator of this insidious sound, which is perfectly calibrated to make them distraught, each in their own way.
Tucker Carlson talked about this insightfully tonight I thought. This thought has been on my mind, and of course I’ve said this rough thing countless times.
But what I am feeling more clearly is the INABILITY of so many on the Left to interact with alternative–alternative with respect to the small foggy island they live on–ideas. You know, ideas like Liberalism being freedom. You know, ideas which were the currency of the age a generation ago. All gone now.
They literally cannot undergo the process of thinking new thoughts. They literally cannot conceive any world in which their world view is not just correct, but demonstrably and irrefutably correct.
It’s a psychological weakness. It is an emotional infantilism. It is a form of madness, in most important respects. They are not seeing literal hallucinations, but their ideas consist in very little other than projecting onto the world what they want to see, rather than what is actually there. It is a form of grandiose wish fulfillment. They want it to be so, so POOF, it IS so. Because they wanted it to be so, and because the world cannot be a place where wishing does not make it so.
This is a deep sickness. Large segments of our society have already plunged into darkness. But Trump is President, and he fights the fight of the Cultural War. And many people are waking up. I think the Democrats are losing adherents in droves they will not get back in the next generation. Their whole radicalizing game plan depended on Obama leading the way, and Hillary finishing up. Again, this is why her loss was so catastrophic. They can’t hide their radicalism any more, and they have no one on high protecting it. Quite the contrary.
It’s an insidious sickness. It has infected most of the “information” industry. But it is far from clear this night might not have a dawn.
