It is alarming to see the riots, violence, lawlessness, and, well, insanity everywhere. Most of the GOPe /
Uniparty are standing around, wringing their hands in despair and doing not
much of anything. What can the concerned
citizen do in these frightening times? Fletch
Daniels at American Thinker has an idea of what conservatives can actually DO.
Cultural tyranny reigns in America,
the last step before full-fledged political tyranny.
Lurking beneath the surface of
virtue signaling leftists are tyrants seeking to exert their will over those
they despise. The defining leftist culture enables them to ruthlessly use
all the power at their disposal, both real and imagined, to enforce a single
acceptable viewpoint on society.
. . .
Democrats in this country do not
feel they need to hide their political allegiance or culturally approved
viewpoints. Most never shut up about it, believing they are speaking
truth to power, even as they bask in the approval of the corrupt and wicked
power centers.
.. .
I wish I had a dollar for every
American who uttered the phrase, “Never in my lifetime did I expect to see…”
over the last few weeks. We are living in the upside-down when patriotism
is outlawed, the vilest of criminals are celebrated, and brave law enforcement
officers who put their lives on the line daily are slandered as the worst of
society so thoroughly that it descended into evil farce, when
a kid’s show “Paw
Patrol,” came under attack since it is apparently racist to have a positive
police character in a children’s show.
This is war and the left is playing
to win. Anyone who doesn’t get that by now, to include most of the
NeverTrumpers, is either irredeemably stupid or an active collaborator.
Every pillar of cultural power in America, to include the unholy trinity of
academia, the media, and government has declared cultural war on at least half
the country. And yet NeverTrumpers reserve almost all of their scorn for
those with the audacity to not drop to their knees and surrender.
. . .
The problem is that the silence
enables the leftists to continue to drive the narrative and normalize ideas and
behaviors that would have been considered unfathomable just a few short years
ago while winning more converts, which shrinks that sane majority. It is
their toxic ideas that are being force fed to every young person in America and
we are paying a heavy price for that.
And here’s Mr. Daniels’ suggestion:
I’d like to see far more people
vocally pushing back against the mob within their social circles. Every
person who pushes back emboldens others to do the same.
Even if you don’t want to spoil the party or make everyone
at the picnic uncomfortable, it’s worth the try. My own batting average is low, but I count at
least half a dozen in my circle who were apathetic liberals before I started
speaking up, and they are now committed and vocal conservatives. Mr. Daniels' full article is here.
