What the Left Did to Our Country
Will their upheaval succeed?
By Victor Davis Hanson
September 4, 2023
In the last 20 years, the Left has boasted that it has gained control of most of America institutions of power and influence—the corporate boardroom, media, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the administrative state, academia, foundations, social media, entertainment, professional sports, and Hollywood.
With such support, between 2009-17, Barack Obama was empowered to transform the Democratic Party from its middle-class roots and class concerns into the party of the bicoastal rich and subsidized poor—obsessions with big money, race, a new intolerant green religion, and dividing the country into a binary of oppressors and oppressed.
The Obamas entered the presidency spouting the usual leftwing boilerplate (“spread the wealth,” “just downright mean country,” “get in their face,” “first time I’ve been proud of my country”) as upper-middle-class, former community activists, hurt that their genius and talents had not yet been sufficiently monetized.
After getting elected through temporarily pivoting to racial ecumenicalism and pseudo-calls for unity, they reverted to form and governed by dividing the country. And then the two left the White House as soon-to-be mansion living, mega-rich elites, cashing in on the fears they had inculcated over the prior eight years.
To push through the accompanying unpopular agendas of an open border, mandatory wind and solar energy, racial essentialism, and the weaponization of the state, Obama had begun demonizing his opponents and the country in general: America was an unexceptional place. Cops were racist. “Clingers” of the Midwest were hopelessly ignorant and prejudiced. Only fundamental socialist transformation could salvage a historically oppressive, immoral, and racist nation.

Its sad. The ones that want everyone shaking their fist at each other are the richest and wealthiest of them all.
At their level, they don't see the very things they accuse of; i.e. racism, equality, blah blah. All they see is green and power. Pure greed. Unfortunately, the masses are so asleep and comfortable with the bare minimum of survivability, that they will continue to support this trash to the point that they themselves wont realize they are completely enslaved, more-so now than ever in history. When the mind is happy with chains on it, you've lost.
In summary, Trust Jesus.
Out.

Yeah, it’s been quite an orchestrated collapse. They used Marxist sloganeering to tap into the prevailing feminization of the country and destroyed our most cherished American traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions. And their base is shooting up the cultural Novocain in the form of State- approved media and social media and looks around, notices nothing works anymore, but can’t figure out why. They actively embrace American DECLINISM and oppose American Aspirationalism and have no idea because they have these little slogans. Diversity is our strength! Toxic Masculinity! Black Lives Matter! My body, my choice ! Mask up ! Fight the patriarchy!
To actively understand your culture and embrace Individual Liberty is now a highly revolutionary act. To conform, sloganeer and fall in line is the highest aspiration of the Democrat Left. They now have tens of millions of conformists ready to receive State Dictate from NPR, FB, the legacy newspapers, CNN , MSNBC, ABC, CBS, late night comedy, etc.

Too many soccer moms and undecided voters don’t understand what is happening and how it will crush their freedom. They fall for the phony rhetoric and OMB BS. The media is in the hands of these statists and Marxists so we have to get the word out by other means.
