And now for something a little more upbeat. Kira Davis has the encouraging words at RedState:
The progressive legacy media never
did take too kindly to the rise of conservative media, understandably but it
rarely felt dangerous. More like…temper tantrums.
But what has been happening in
progressive circles since Trump was elected is increasingly disturbing. Trump
rocked their world. He was a complete outsider who wasn’t even supposed to be a
serious player in the game, let alone the winner. It was too dangerous to have
an outsider in the White House who wouldn’t respect the hierarchy and rules of
Capitol Hill life. He had to go, and they spent four years doing everything in
their power to make sure he would.
You’d think they’d be happy that
they won. They got their guy. Even though Joe Biden is the strangest and
saddest President I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime, the point
remains…he’s their guy. Why don’t they seem happy?
Instead the progressive left has
ramped up censorship and raised the flame underneath political discourse to
near unbearable levels. Their figureheads- people like Joy Reid and AOC – go on
tv and accuse conservative voters of being murderers, white supremacists, baby
Hitlers. They have no ability to view their ideological opponents as humans
anymore. Even the reasonable conservative pundits that they used to like are
still the victims of their hate speech, because these days it isn’t about what
you said and what your words and actions can prove about you. It’s about
nothing more than the vote you cast.
The progressive left has decided
that anyone who isn’t them is the enemy, and therefore the enemy must be
eliminated by any means necessary.
Their preferred means is silence.
The goal of the progressive left is to make sure we can’t participate in the
public conversation, our ideas can’t be heard, our opinions can’t be
considered. They truly believe that if they make the mouthpieces of
conservatism go away that they’ll magically “solve” the problem of
conservatives.
After all, you idiots are just
little robots with no thoughts of your own! If we weren’t here to feed you your
ideas you would simply stop thinking.
Obviously I’m being sarcastic, but
that’s actually how the left views their own, and they project it onto us. They
can’t defend their ideas. The only way to be influential is to force competing
ideas out of the market.
Let’s face it. The real problem
progressive leftists have with the right is that we don’t need them anymore.
They aren’t the gatekeepers of
information and communication anymore and it really burns their gluten-free
buns. They can’t stand that no matter what they try, we keep making end-runs
around their stupid, childish barriers. . . .
