There’s so much that is so wrong about the cult that is the Left. Demonstrably wrong. 

Most troubling is their arrogance. It dictates not only what they say; but also, how they “govern” and how they deal with anyone who has questions or disagrees.

They’re always 100 percent sure they’re correct and 100 percent sure those opposing them are wrong. And they’re not content with feeling right: they want to make sure that anyone opposing them is silenced, blocked, hidden or canceled, lest “misinformation” spread.

You’ve got to hand it to “progressives.” They’ve taken over the Democrat Party. They’ve partnered with many colleges, the legacy media, and much of social media to elevate their ideology, state theories as facts — despite being obviously wrong even to neutral observers — and ignore or mock those who raise questions.

Common sense and obvious failed outcomes be damned.

It’s why they engage in cancel culture, personal attacks, and shaming. It’s why they demand that news stations, newspapers and social media platforms only promote what the Left “knows” to be “right.” And why they so loudly, forcefully and often violently demand that anyone opposing them be silenced — or “corrected” with editor’s notes. 

It’s why they don’t debate.

It’s why they govern by executive orders, regulation and mandates. It’s why they never run out of levels of government, government agencies or governments across the globe to turn to enforce their cult-like views on citizens. 

Can’t get congress to ban fossil fuels? Then head off to state capitols, or local towns. If a local town won’t comply with micromanaging its residents, then off to the state capitol or DC.

Can’t get congress to end gas-powered cars? Then rush to the White House and the EPA and issue regulations or mandates.

If Congress won’t pass a law “canceling student loans” — which as most folks with common sense know is actually transferring debt from the people who took out the loans to the people who didn’t get the education? Just issue an executive order. The Supreme Court be damned!

During 2020 through 2022, the nation got to see what being run by “elites” looks like — government officials empowered with the absolute “knowledge” that they are right and that the rest of us must comply. Executive orders. Mandates. Lock-downs. Walmart can be open, but your neighborhood hardware store must be closed. One can fly on an airplane, but not get your haircut. Girls can play softball, but wear a mask.

Why? Because “they” said so, and they’re smart and always right. “Do you disagree?! What, do you want people to die?!” Moreover, they know “justice:” they know what’s right and what’s wrong.

If you disagree, you’re a fascist, a bigot, a science denier, climate denier, or just plain selfish.

Did you want to discuss reasonable limits during Covid? Suggest that citizens be given information and to make their own decisions? Nope! Mandates. Lockdowns. And, you lose your job — or your child gets kicked out of school — if you don’t comply.

No legislation was passed. No citizen input was welcomed. And, if you tried to post information on Facebook—ha! It’s “misinformation” and was hidden.

Do you want your children to have the option to drive gas-powered cars? Not so fast: Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom issue executive orders with the ease and pace of kids asking for cookies at the supermarket. No more gas powered cars after 2025, or 2030 or 2035. They just wake-up, decide it’s an emergency and impose their will on taxpayers, consumers and factory workers. As if car manufacturers, their suppliers, their creditors and their dealerships  — and the electric grids! — can just adapt and re-adapt overnight.

No legislation. No debate. No discussion. It shall be done. Why? Because they’ve decided there’s a crisis — or they’ve been pressured into saying it — and we must comply.

Remember on October 4, 2021, when Attorney General Garland sent out a directive warning that the FBI might have to attend school board meetings if parents didn’t settle down?

Remember in 2022, when Biden’s Department of Homeland Security created the “Disinformation Governance Board” to monitor our emails and social media postings to make sure that “disinformation” wasn’t being spread across the nation? Thankfully, the public outcry caused it to be dismantled — or, so we hope.

A government run by executive order, mandates, and severe consequences.

Fanatical, arrogant elites looking to towns, state capitals, or the EPA, or DHS — or the UN or WHO — to impose their will through mandates, executive orders, regulations or “compacts.”

But it doesn’t end there. Because, not only does the Left want to rule by mandate, they do not want any questions, any opposition or anything slowing them down.

They turn to their allies (partners) in the various media platforms. In 2020, a New York Times editor was forced to resign for publishing a guest column from — horrors of horrors — a United States Senator. (Tom Cotton is not only Republican; he’s conservative!)

In the last few days, NBC’s Chuck Todd and Joe and Mika and all the other members of the “news” department at NBC/MSNBC threw public temper tantrums because NBC hired former RNC Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel. (If they allow a Republican to talk about politics on an opinion show, who knows what happens.)

College campuses cancel conservative speakers because their views are “offensive,” “hurtful” or “hateful.” Or they’re canceled because campus security “cannot guarantee” the safety of the speaker or attendees. (Heck, Riley Gaines is really intimidating: after all, she’s an athlete.) By the way, the added message sent passively across campus is that conservatives or libertarians or anyone asking questions is dangerous.

They govern by executive order, mandates or regulation. Legislators are apparently not necessary, move too slowly, or don’t understand the gravity of the “emergency” or obvious correctness of the Left’s view of the world. Worse, the public should never be consulted.

They use the federal government to limit speech or intimidate anyone questioning the mandates. Their allies running legacy media and universities use the same tactics: silence and shame.

The added irony is that the Left and their allies claim that Republicans, conservatives, libertarians or anyone questioning their mandates are “threats to democracy, or “threats to America” — a nation founded on free speech, separation of powers, and debate.

(By the way, for those that skipped American government classes, the United States is actually a constitutional democratic republic. We are governed by the Constitution. There are, in fact, certain universal rules and protected personal liberties. And we elect legislators to govern, and are allowed to lobby or challenge them, and elect or defeat them at the polls. We do not live under mob rule, where the whim of the moment changes everything. Least of all, we are not subject to whims issued by executives acting like kings, or worse: nameless, faceless bureaucrats.)

Mandates. Executive Orders. Government by regulation. Silencing and threatening opponents.

For elites who are so certain that they’re right for America and Americans, they sure don’t want Americans to debate or have input. Wonder why?

  1. Hey Guy! I left a similar comment over on Chris Stigall’s “Harrumph Society” where he writes on substack and subscribing members can comment. I highly recommend.

    Further proof great minds think alike.

    The Democrats are lying, communist globalist con artists aided and abetted by the controlled reaction or inaction of the controlled opposition, communist globalist partners-in-crime RINO’s.

    The “progress con game” is but one of many they run to hide their true agenda…the theft of our freedom. Thieves don’t announce themselves and communists don’t unmask until they’ve seized control, so we must judge them by their actions.

    ===

    THE “PROGRESS” CON GAME:

    1) Whenever the “progressive” communist Dems want to change a law, ignore science, reject the Bible or break a tradition / standard, it’s “old” and must be changed without consulting anyone else since they’re the arbiters of new truth, science and “progress.”  All change is good.

    2) Whenever the “progressives” want to keep something, all change is bad.  The issue is settled.

    .
    THE PROCESS…

    They through culture then through unelected positions of power in government, business and academia…without our consent…change:
    .
    * science (gay gene…none; gender spectrum…none; man evolved from apes…no evidence; water equals life…nope):

    * law (Roe v. Wade in 1973, “hate crimes”);

    * standards / traditions / definitions: (ditch the Senate filibuster; pack SCOTUS; illegals are “undocumented migrants” now “asylum seekers”; secretaries are “executive assistants”; “Negroes” are “blacks” then “African-Americans” then “blacks” again and now “Blacks”), or;

    * religion (reinterpret the Bible so “love is love” or Jesus was “inclusive”);

    .
    ….and their “new normal” by decree is settled.  
    .
    No revisiting allowed!  

    .
    Heads I win.  Tails you lose.  That’s how their game is played, you see.

    .
    In other words, power driven by evil with no standards—religious or otherwise—and grounded in hypocrisy.

    .
    Tyranny, if you will.

    .
    So their control of language, academic institutions, corporations, government, media propaganda and the courts is critical.

    .
    They must issue studies on climate and health and reach conclusions we must all follow to be saved.

    .
    No questioning is allowed.  Our common ideas aren’t vetted and validated by their elite institutions.

    .
    If we don’t take their word as gospel, they shriek.

    .
    If we don’t read their “gospels” written by social sciences majors and their “bibles” written by government-funded researchers, they howl.

    .
    Strange, isn’t it, how they’re the ones who have scripture written by men not divinely inspired?

    .
    Dissenters of all qualifications and backgrounds must be mocked, demonized as bigots or anti-science or bankrupted / jailed / executed through lawfare.

    .
    But they still fail.

    .
    They currently have all the earthy levers of power, but we have faith, the most powerful lever there is.

    .
    We the People with God on our side are still winning.  So they can’t be that good.  Evil never is in the face of the living God and His people.

    .
    Dissent.  Challenge their power.  Reject the notion that they are all-knowing gods who must create and dictate the rules as the “intellectuals” or the “smart ones” to the rest of us.

    .
    Their rejection of God is evidence of their stupidity.  No atheist believes in “internal morality” when facing a tyrant.  Put another way.  There are no atheists in a foxhole.

    .
    Secure 2024 and put the cap on our victory.

    .  
    Trump 2024.  MAGA

    God bless you and yours.

    Worth a watch / listen!

    1. “* religion (reinterpret the Bible so “love is love” or Jesus was “inclusive”);” – Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, helped lepers, treated prostitutes as human beings, chased the money lenders out of a house of worship, and refused to condemn people because of who they were. Sounds pretty inclusive to me.

      ” science (gay gene…none; gender spectrum…none; man evolved from apes…no evidence; water equals life…nope):” – Clearly you failed High School science class.

      “We the People with God on our side are still winning. So they can’t be that good. Evil never is in the face of the living God and His people.” God and whose people? This is why we have separation of Church and State in America, to make sure laws don’t discriminate on the basis of faith.

  2. They’re lying and arrogant since they think they will never face consequences. They think they have us beat. We will lose our freedom if we allow them to rig 2024. But if we secure 2024 and win, they will face BIG LEAGUE consequences.

    That’s why the lying, arrogant communist globalists will rig it by hook or by crook. Want to win? Here’s how…

    ===== GUARANTEED PATH TO VICTORY FOR ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ AND THE UNALIENABLE, GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO FREEDOM-CENTERED WEST VS. THE COMMUNIST GLOBALIST UNIPARTY IN THE 2024 U.S. ELECTION
    =====
    .
    1. Embrace God’s Covenant Promise to heal our nation if we repent and humble ourselves asking God’s forgiveness with prayer and fasting.
    .
    One of my favorite parts of the movie.  Cued up…
    .
    “Let My People Go”
    God’s Covenant Promise
    2 Chronicles 7:14
    https://rumble.com/v4h6ibc-worldwide-release-let-my-people-go-full-movie.html?start=6712
    .
    “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

    .
    2. Unite and organize with likeminded people in our communities who also want to remain free.
    .
    3. Be prepared for any emergency they might throw at us with local community networks ensuring access to food, water, shelter, medical care and communication with other groups.
    .
    4. Watch and share “Let My People Go” by David Clements.  Shows how they centrally monitor elections through DHS and rig using machines and manipulated voter rolls.  Great movie.  Free.  Informative. Entertaining.  Inspiring.
    .
    “Let My People Go” by former law professor and patriot David Clements
    https://rumble.com/v4h6ibc-worldwide-release-let-my-people-go-full-movie.html
    (40 minute mark starts laying out the case for fraud including central planning through DHS, but I highly recommend watching the entire movie)

    .
    5. Confront county election boards and local officials with the evidence.  Demonstrate the threat to our freedom AND THEIRS.
    .
    6. Ditch the machines.  California did it within days of Steve Heller blowing the whistle on Diebold in 2004 (Diebold was purchased by Dominion from ES&S as part of Premier’s assets).

    7. Clean and monitor the voter rolls.  The technology is available.  Jay Valentine’s fractal tech.  Did the security for eBay.  Working with the RNC.  Monitors voter rolls for day-to-day changes.

    8. Secure 2024  and our freedom with massive oversight of all ballot counting including mail-ins and chain of custody.
    .
    9. Win with the knowledge we won’t need to tell our children we lost their freedom.
    .
    10.  REJOICE IN THE MERCY, FORGIVENESS, GREATNESS AND GOODNESS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

    .

    Pray.  Read.  Watch.  Share.  Unite.  Organize.  Secure the vote.  Vote.  Watch the vote.  Win.
    .
    God bless you and yours!

    Fight like hell PEACEFULLY to remain free.,
    Trump 2024.  MAGA..

  3. Criticizing the left’s high horse from the right’s high horse isn’t moving the conversation forward. It simply widens the divide.
