Sooner or later the left will inevitably find that the techniques it pioneered will be used against it. From Victor Davis Hanson at amgreatness.com:
What the Left now fears most is the revolutionary model it has bequeathed to America—and what might happen if its monstrous creation falls into politically incorrect hands.
The present-day Left bears little resemblance to the old civil-libertarian, integrationist Democratic Party that existed from the 1960s through 2000.
The antecedents to its current madness were once previewed in the old party’s extremist wing of campus radicals of the 1960s and 1970s. They were accentuated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa during the Obama years, forged during the COVID lockdown and George Floyd riots, and polished during the era of Trump derangement syndrome.
On almost every issue, Democrats have repudiated their prior reverence for the Supreme Court.
They distrust individual liberty and free expression.
They now worship the money and clout of corporate America.
Racial ecumenicalism and integration are seen as passé.
There is little need for borders to protect vulnerable American workers, given the advantages of inviting in millions of poor illegal immigrants without audits.
Democrats have transmogrified into a Soviet-style socialist binary of rich and poor, run by an elite nomenklatura that dictates its orders to its foot soldiers of the underclass. An entire new left-wing vocabulary—clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, dregs, chumps, ultra-MAGA, semi-fascists—has come to express their hatred of the middle class.
Counter revolutions are more fun and not sponsored by the banksters or Omni Consumer Products.
Revolutions always get hijacked by money and I love those memes of if your flag is flying everywhere and all corporations and media are on your side, then you aren’t the resistance.
Saw a great cartoon from 2014 of Trantifa laying out their manifesto as the injured working class ask and what else, they turn around and ask the Monopoly baron fat cats at the back for the answer.
You can’t read VDH articles from some link aggregator pages thanks for this.
Not smart enough to come up with their own ideology, they lampoon the FAIL of a 19th century German bum.
It is not a failure if you intend to burn down the world.
Creators create and destroyers destroy.
