But I am struck by how instantly and effectively conservatives seem to be addressing all the recent propaganda offensives by the Left.
By and large, most conservatives historically have focused on their jobs and their families. This is what dignified citizens of a free and prosperous nation, when they are emotionally healthy, do. You need politics from time to time to better calibrate some particular policy or other, but by and large you do your thing, the government does its thing, and you don’t need to worry about it. This is the thought process, even if it has been lacking for some time.
But more and more people are GETTING, grokking, that for the Left everything is political all the time. All problems involve government. All disagreement is treasonous and despicable. All people answer in theory to them and their ideas, until they can be made to answer in reality, at the point of guns (other people will be) pointing at them.
There is no humor (outside of politically advantageous mockery). There is no self deprecation, ever. There is no looseness, no flexibility. There is no listening. There is no generosity. There is no tolerance, not even for uppity blacks or Hispanics who don’t know their place.
There is no fun. And there is no freedom. It is a grim, dull, gray, AWFUL place. And it is where they demand the right to take us all. They want us there, dull, gray, hopeless. And they want to be gloating over us, while mouthing bullshit about justice and tolerance, and “Human dignity”.
I really hope America is waking up. What is planned is truly despicable, truly awful.
