The Progressive Movement Is Finished
It was a wild ride. Imagine defunding the police, or insisting that a man can become a woman, that our very existence is killing Planet Earth, that driving an electric [coal powered] car is proof of your goodness, or that anyone having traditional American values is a racist bigot. Just imagine.
The Progressive movement has taken various forms over the past 60 years but it was always rooted in revolution. “Revolution against what?” you might ask. To paraphrase the great Thomas Sowell, it is a revolution against everything that works and in favor of what sounds good today. Open borders, transgenderism, “renewable” energy, white supremacy - these are just a sampling of the radicalism on full display that has proven to be an abject failure among the U.S. population.
Unprecedented inflation not seen in 60 years? A southern border that is as porous as a sieve...
Democrat voters might be paying a lot more for groceries and gasoline. They probably can’t afford to buy a home. Their local market now has Plexiglas covering much of the merchandise due to rampant shoplifting that goes unpunished...
Sensing that they were not going to close the deal through deceit, deception, star power, and intimidation, the Democrats decided to break the glass and pull the handle: Trump is Hitler. And now half the American electorate is seen as garbage according to the current Divider-in-Chief, Joe Biden...
The trouble with playing the Trump is Hitler card in 2024 is this: People believe it is sheer nonsense to accept that he will be an authoritarian Nazi in a second term when he didn’t demonstrate such capacities in his first term...
Much of the Democrat leadership and just about all of the legacy media don’t understand everyone’s desire, Republicans and Democrats alike, to enjoy a higher quality of life. Nobody wants more rules, more restrictions, more censorship, less wealth, less security, and fewer choices in life...

The Left’s Woke Agenda Died This Week, by Mike Gonzalez, The Daily Signal, 11 November 2024:
There were many reasons that President-elect Donald Trump won in such a resounding victory this week: inflation, the bewildering open border policy, the Afghanistan withdrawal humiliation... But let’s not forget one of the top ones: This was a resounding defeat of wokeism.
Voters have rejected wokeism - defined here as an unhealthy obsession with viewing all of life as a struggle between oppressors and oppressed...
This would still have been true even if... Kamala Harris had won....
This Left long ago abandoned doing things frontally, such as launching bloody revolutions, and has opted instead for infiltration and indoctrination.
Of course, as we saw with the 2020 riots instigated by the Marxist-trained founders of Black Lives Matter, this Left will also opportunistically launch street violence when it thinks it can deliver a knockout blow against society.
But violent action must be preceded by, and act in tandem with, capturing K-12 school systems, so “educators” can weave Marxist programming into standards and even curricula...
And because the lifeblood of identity politics... are the racial categories that the Left has painstakingly created in the past five decades, the new administration would also do well to eliminate these groups from government paperwork...

January 6th Propaganda And The Rewriting Of History
... Video evidence shows capitol police fired rubber bullets and tear gas grenades into a peaceful and unarmed crowd of protesters. This attack led directly to the crowd fighting back and eventually raiding the building itself. Then, the police ultimately opened the doors to the building and let people wander in. Those protesters walked around for a couple hours and then left on their own. That’s not what an “insurrection” looks like.
Afterwards, Democrats cherry picked limited footage from the event and claimed it was an “attack on democracy”...
Economic Denial
