Seriously.
Since when did we just sit by and let clearly delusional people
intimidate us with their madness? Or to permit
them to try to gaslight us into believing everything we’ve always known to be
true suddenly isn’t? That their “reality” is real, while ours is not?
We know that’s what’s actually happening. Why aren’t we
trying to stop them?
Staying silent or cowering in the face of their unrelenting
assault on reality is a mistake, as we’ve seen. It signals tacit approval which
just encourages more insanity.
Too many appear afraid to say what they honestly believe or
even joke about the silliness of it all. They claim it’s not worth it. If they speak out they fear being targeted by
a mob of self-appointed scolds who will harass them and their families at home,
at school, and even at work.
All of which, sadly, happens too often.
Still others suspend their disbelief and pretend it’s all
okay. Yet they know it’s not okay. We all know it’s not okay. Everyone needs to stop pretending.
Most of what the left, activists, and the media promote
these days is not just untrue but increasingly dangerous to our country, our
young people, and generations to come. When Biden said: “we choose truth over facts” we
laughed. They didn’t; they agreed.
Unfortunately, their “truth” often isn’t remotely connected to reality. Perhaps
intentionally.
So why don’t we, as rational thoughtful citizens, stand up
and fight back?
All it takes is for enough of us to refuse to comply. Just say no thanks.
And when they overreact, don’t go straight to outrage, which
is what they want. Instead, publicly ridicule
them. Libs of TikTok on Twitter provides a master class in in this. They repost videos created by loonies on the
left describing themselves and their beliefs.
It’s scary at times, yet frequently hilarious to see people
passionately expose their stupidity and bizarre ideas out there for all the
world to see. The original creators of
these posts never intended this to happen; these were only supposed to be seen
by zealots just like them. They expected to be praised by their peers who agree trans women can have
periods, children should be taught about anal and oral sex in kindergarten, and
teachers should be able to coach elementary students into changing gender
without ever letting parents know that’s going on.
Suddenly, when they realize ordinary people might see how
they are subverting parents’ rights and indoctrinating their kids on the sly,
overtly sexualizing children, while bragging about how they get away with it,
they are furious. Showing the world what they’ve posted in whole in original
context without editing – in short, exactly what they said in their own words –
is hateful. Transphobic. Homophobic.
Anti-LGBTQ. And whatever else they can come up with.
But it’s their own words. Out of their own mouths. Stuff
they intentionally posted. What I think troubles them most, however, is
that down deep they know what they claim to be true just isn’t. There’s no way they can honestly believe that
a man who pretends to be a woman can get pregnant, or that a woman who pretends
to be a man can produce sperm. Or that using their authority as a teacher to psychologically manipulate kindergarteners or elementary school kids to choose a different gender or sexual orientation is in any way appropriate. They know that's wrong.
In their videos they think they are revealing their soul,
their overwrought hand wringing, and their pride in their misdeeds to what they
hope are their legions of followers. But
they end up as the object of well-deserved ridicule on Libs of TikTok. That has to sting.
There’s a reason why the loons on the left and their suck-up
pals in the media and Hollywood hate when the quiet things they say to each other, and nod in agreement, are inadvertently said out loud for all the world to see. Because most of what they want to hide is crazy.
And frankly, they know it.
Our collective mistake is taking it all too seriously. I stopped
doing that a while ago and I’ve felt better ever since. Calmer. More relaxed. More should try it.
The media and our leaders pound us with lie after lie about
the threats to our democracy, or very existence, every day if we don’t take
them seriously. And how morally bankrupt we are not to accept and embrace their
twisted world view. But really, there’s no reason to. Most of it is silly and demonstrably
false.
That’s why we shouldn’t.
I’m surprised they still do.
It amazes me that we’re now supposed to ignore basic
biology, human physiology, science, our own history as a nation, the role of
the Constitution, and a lot more, most of which we learned in public school and
college decades ago. Suddenly, we need to question all we ever learned.
But of course, we’re not allowed to ever question them.
If we dare question anything they say, no matter how
ridiculous, we are monsters. Racists. Sexists. Homophobes. Transphobes.
Religious fanatics. Science deniers.
Right-wing nutjobs. Bigots. Ignorant hillbillies. And, most recently, and most curiously,
fascists.
Confronted with facts, they have no valid counter argument, except
name calling.
Their core beliefs are so preposterous, and so obviously
wrong to anyone who graduated public high school more than 30 years ago. I’m not talking about kids who took
accelerated courses, National Honor Society types, or anybody who went to
college. Just ordinary high school students graduating with a passing
grade.
For the record, there haven’t been huge breakthroughs in
biology or basic science in those past 30 years that would make it true that
humans have more than two sexes, biological men can get pregnant, bear children
or breast feed, or that that anyone born a biological male who later decides
he’s actually a girl can suddenly do any of those. It’s not physically possible, despite bathing
him in puberty blockers at an early age, extensive hormone therapy, doing
breast implants, or mutilating his genitals
Biologically, he’ll always be a boy, not because of how he
feels, but because of his chromosomes.
He can grow his hair long, he can dress up like a girl, he can have
doctors cut off his testicles and turn his penis into a vagina, and he may
appear to be a girl and live as one, but he won’t be. Despite
what many teachers are instructing students as young as kindergarteners, no one
can actually change the biological sex they were born with.
And “feeling” like you might be another sex is a far cry
from being one.
Which is really the problem here: the crazies want us to
accept what they “feel” as real. They
have no facts, just feelings. And they demand we accept their feelings and
agree to their completely wacko view of human biology, science, history, and
much more.
We really don’t have to. And we shouldn’t.
