For a long time, Democrats and the left dismissed us as
nothing more than rubes.
People not as smart or as enlightened as them, and worse
yet still clinging to foolish traditions and ideas. Like standing for the national anthem,
respecting our flag, believing that all men and women were created equal, that
everyone was entitled to equal justice under the law, and that people should be
judged only by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
That this was still the land of opportunity where anyone of
any race, color, ethnicity, or religion could succeed. And most of all that America and its people
were inherently good.
They sneered at all that. They mocked us at every turn as
hopelessly naïve. In fact, they said, America was a terrible place. A racist,
sexist, xenophobic and homophobic country. An oppressor of minorities
everywhere. A greedy pig sucking up the world’s resources and destroying the
planet in the process just to make a handful of capitalists richer on the backs
of the poor.
And we were just too stupid to see it. But they did. So they constantly lectured
us.
The condescension toward us was annoying. Yet also hilarious at times because they were clearly
ignorant of basic biology, science, economics, and especially history. Some of the stuff they sprouted was so
ridiculous and downright silly it made us laugh out loud.
Like claiming men could get pregnant, have periods, and
breast feed their babies. Like fervently
arguing there were more than two human genders – in fact more than 100 – and anyone,
anytime, at any age, could change their gender at will. Like insisting millions of toddlers and
prepubescent adolescents suddenly had “gender dysphoria” that required radical hormone
therapy and perhaps gender-reassignment surgery.
Outrageous stuff. Often funny stuff. At least to us.
They can’t stand being mocked. And when Trump won in 2016 largely by rejecting political correctness and
this type of silly nonsense from the left, they went into a rage.
Now they openly hate us.
But that’s not enough for them. They want to hurt us. They want to inflict as much pain as possible
on us, perhaps to teach us a lesson for putting Trump in office. Or maybe they just enjoy tearing apart the
things we treasure like a kid in a tantrum ripping the heads off his sister’s favorite
dolls.
Since Trump’s election and more aggressively under Biden,
they’ve done everything possible to attack and destroy our institutions. Especially
the ones we’ve traditionally trusted most.
The military. Law
enforcement. The Supreme Court. The
Constitution and Bill of Rights. Our public
education system. And so much more; not
because there was anything wrong with these, but because they want to knock out
any pillar that made us feel safe.
They’ve politicized our military. They’ve put radicals in
charge to hollow it out from within and demoralize the rank and file, through
purges of the unvaccinated, and of supposed “white supremacists.” They’ve
changed one of our most outstanding examples of pure meritocracy by now placing
a higher emphasis on diversity than merit for promotions.
The same military wokesters embarrassed us to our allies
by allowing Biden to leave Afghanistan on short notice, sacrificing the
lives of our own troops to a suicide bomber as we retreated, and leaving our
Afghani allies and translators and their families unprotected from Taliban
reprisals. And also leaving the Taliban about $85 billion of our military gear,
making an army of former goatherders one of the most militarily advanced and
best equipped in the Middle East.
Here, they’ve worked to gut police forces
nationwide. They’ve elected pro-criminal DAs with the help of billionaire anarchists
like George Soros to stop prosecuting crime in our cities, causing crime to
surge. They’ve never prosecuted rioters and looters who engaged in months-long rampages
in our cities costing innocent lives and billions in Federal and private
property damage.
But when pro-Trump protestors entered the US Capitol for
about three hours on January 6, often escorted by Capitol Police, causing
minimal damage and no deaths, this was deemed an insurrection and attempt to
overthrow the government. The FBI quickly
found these "criminals" and prosecuted more than 800 of them, many of whom remain in
solitary confinement to this day.
They’ve cancelled any further construction on a border wall
and left billions in already ordered and delivered materials for that wall to
rust unused. They’ve deliberately opened
our border to unprecedented levels of illegal migrants from all over the world,
and then given those same illegals and their families benefits – like baby
formula in short supply – at the expense of American citizens and their
families. They’ve flooded our cities
with illegals brought there on chartered busses and planes paid for with
taxpayer dollars, laundered through NGOs to hide the source of funding.
At the same time, they’ve attacked Border Patrol and ICE
agents as racists merely for doing the job Congress tasked them with.
But the worst is what they’ve done to destroy the robust
economy they inherited from Trump.
Prior to Biden we were energy independent. But on his first
day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline designed to bring Canadian crude in
the US, canceled drilling leases in the US, increased EPA regulations and
declared war on our energy industry. Immediately,
fuel prices started to rise dramatically. Because everything is affected by
rising fuel costs either in manufacturing or transportation, the price of
everything at the grocery store, restaurants, and everywhere else is
soaring.
Now inflation is 8.6% – the highest in four decades; gas,
diesel, home heating oil, and jet fuel are at all-time highs, crushing families
and small businesses. And by juicing the
economy through dumping too much money into the system as “Covid recovery”
every dollar is now worth less.
Through vax mandates a lot of people who should be working
either have given up or decided they don’t need or want to anymore. That’s caused labor shortages that affect not
just small businesses like restaurants but our entire transportation system,
which in turn cause supply-chain disruptions.
These disruptions are resulting in shortages, forcing prices even higher. Wages are up practically everywhere to
attract workers, but inflation is outpacing the higher wages.
In 18 short months Biden and the left have managed to weaken
our faith in the integrity of our institutions and inflict unprecedented pain
on most Americans. They’ve used the power of virtually every branch of the
administrative state – including the FBI and DOJ – against the very citizens
our elected leaders have sworn an oath to protect and defend under the
Constitution.
They should be ashamed. But of course, they are not. They are proud.
As one of them made the mistake of saying the quiet stuff
out loud the other day, we’ll all just have to get used to this as part of the
new “liberal world order.”
The fact that most Americans are suffering greatly doesn’t bother
them at all.
Because they believe we deserve it.
