Democrat Disarray & Abandon: Millions of ordinary American Democrats are now undoubtedly finally seeing the light, and by effect of disgust, or simply feeling disfellowshipped, are leaving the Democrat Party. For example, many spontaneous protests are occurring across the US during football games, with many fans loudly shouting “F*** Biden”, etc. Now, for many leftists, their politics replace religion, providing personal ethics, government theory, and a vision for the future. Obviously, many traditional Democrats realize they can’t accept the pure groupthink, constantly changing ‘sins’, hyper partisanship, corporate worship and failed policies. But where can the disillusioned go? Generally, think Independent, Libertarian, Republican, or even a new party. Now, follows the worst elements of the present Democratic Party.
The demand that all party members follow the dictates of the leaders, no matter how ill advised. Democrat media members learn to recite talking points like babies sputtering their ABCs. But as time passes, leftist groups become increasingly irrational, leaving the impression of mindless groupthink and the smug self-satisfaction of simple conformity. A happy group of Zippy-the-Pinheads. This trope gives a sense of strength and unity, but simply adopts Marxist party rule, illustrating the fact no party members are allowed any free thought or action.
A chief staple of modern leftism is incredible partisanship and malevolent bias. One need only recall the savage reception when Donald Trump was met with unmitigated fury before entering office. Implying Trump a neo-Hitler/ Anti-Christ, countless leftists, including many vapid celebrities were manipulated into decrying his ‘unprecedented evil and lust for power.’ In fact, progressives superbly orchestrated through propaganda via social media and individual hit pieces a spectacular wave of hate towards Trump, unprecedented in US history. Why? Knowing Trump’s manifest skills, and their own weakness, Pelosi and Co. decided their only chance at victory to keep their Marxist coup plans was all-out war. Nominally, leftists believe even the most trivial disagreements deserve a fight to the death.
In a sublime act of animal mesmerism, leftism draws adherents into embracing life as only political. Watch supposed staunch Catholics Pelosi and Biden leap headfirst into the sewer of abortion mania. The frisson of total romantic commitment, of immersion and wholehearted devotion for a cause emanates from Marxism’s debased orgy of affiliation, mimicking Christian conversion. Today, as old faiths recede, leftists sweep into unprecedented influence, feasting on the untrained minds of the lost masses. Most rejoicing as their rights are abused and trashed like dung. But if everything devolves into politics -- religion and morality are just kabuki theater as cynical partisans angle for accretion of ever amassed power. This results in a ghetto where all persons are manipulated into evoking state morality, and none may reject prefabricated beliefs.
Leftism’s dependence on aged and infirm icons is a ghastly, and even ghoulish reality, well represented by the moralizing and insipid tyranny of octogenarian Pelosi and Biden. But why? Consider Marxism no different than the Catholic Church, where power is aggregated by affiliations and conformity to accepted truisms, advanced by sheer age. Further, dynamism is trumped by loyalty. Ultimately, as leftism is corrosive of republicanism, the relentless attack upon institutions meant to diffuse power means Marxist leaders are akin to mighty kings who cannot be dislodged but for death.
One of the peculiar verities of leftism is that no act of incompetence is ever considered proof of incompetence to force removal of a leader. Why? Because the purpose of a socialist government is NOT ‘success,’ whether measured by wealth, science or art, but control of the population. Marxism is a movement to force individuals to “do the right thing,” augured in disparate ways. Because humanity is saved through the herd, the hive, the colony. For example, humans now must turn back ‘Global Warming’ by group effort, or we’re threatened to be cooked like greedy cockroaches cartwheeling headfirst into a sizzling, # wok. This Gnostic group effort to ‘save the planet’ through sincere sacrifice is hilariously touching, given the constant falsification such leftist theories demand. But the ancient pagan Romans also believed it’s the duty of mankind to keep Pax Deorum, or the Peace of the Gods, and therefore safety via rites and spiritual busy work.
Perhaps the most inevitable aspect of Marxist regimes are spectacular failures. Why? Because so many elements of leftist convictions are opposed to reality, a grimoire of humanist illusions results. The worship of previously failed policies is a specialty. Pondering all the shocking failures in just the US Afghanistan exit, one single factor likely links all. A disinterest in, or active dislike of other humans. For, one cannot escape the absolutely cavalier manner in which Americans and our allies were abandoned like bags full of dirty diapers. Casual cruelty doled out like so much candy corn at Halloween. Recall Mao’s Great Leap Forward, where a doomed “great idea” of communal farming collapsed in 40 million Chinese deaths. Here Marxism raises its ugly head, for Karl Marx was an angry man with hatred for authority, while the ultimate authority is God. And without the love of God, how does anyone claim genuine concern for others?
For these reasons, and many more, disillusioned Americans are leaving the mentally sick, emotionally paralyzed and spiritually bankrupt Democrat Party. Maybe one of these weary and disillusioned folks is you? If so, your sincere demand for truth and refusal to countenance scorn and rejection is saluted. Wrote C. S. Lewis, “Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth.” You are an intrepid searcher for reality and your journey will not fail, but shall deliver a richer life and better world for all, as well -- if you stay the course.
