The Liberal Agenda Has Moved and Most Fail To Understand Where It Has Gone
The liberal agenda has moved so far left that most Democrats are confused, bewildered and alarmed. They don't even recognize their own party. For some, the liberal agenda they grew up with is now considered right-wing in some circles. Why? Well, it doesn't go far enough. It has to be far-left, quasi-Marxist, or full bore Marxist. The woke that were mocked on college campuses have graduated in sufficient numbers. And now, their toxic agenda is spreading like a brush fire. It is unknown if this fire will just quickly burn the debris on the surface exposing the larger reality underneath or if it will take hold and blaze to the core of the precarious lower 48.

Even the black protesters are beginning to question the motives of their white allies. Some black leaders have started to publicly question what protesters are even doing there, one said "These people, I’m not even sure they know why they’re here.” While the white protesters are supporting racial equality there goal is much larger and much more ominous. Some liberal Democrats fail to see the bigger picture, Bill Maher said "defunding the police is friggin nuts". The Mayor of Minneapolis was booed out of the room when he said he would not defund the police. The list of astonished Democrats reads like a who's who of the left. They just don't get it that the fringe on the left has put much more than just their nose underneath the proverbial tent. It started long before AOC arrived on the scene but she was the first visible harbinger that things had radically changed. Even today many still don't truly understand the sea change that is taking place right before their eyes. It is possible that some are beginning to see it but they are like deer in the headlight, wondering if they should run or standstill.
The four years (or more) of training these protesters acquired at University taught them that no dissent is permitted. The idea of a young college mind having an opposing thought different from the mobs is stamped out at lightning speed. This is why the thought police have been unleashed around the edges of society. The activist modern-day media are in lock-step supporting the rebellious and riotous mob and giving credence to the thought police at every opportunity. Just one slip-up or differing opinion could get you fired, suspended, or canceled. These are the hordes of Mordor, an apt description by conservative commentator Erick Erickson. The hordes are lying in wait to pounce with a ferocity that we have not seen before. The cancel culture is being supported by the corporate community worldwide because they want to be seen to be doing something but they have no idea where all this is going.
Bernie Sanders was the great tell of this generation, young Socialist and Marxist were comfortable with him, after all, he reminded them of the radical grandfatherly figure that had taught them for four years. Somehow our higher learning institutions are no longer educating they are in full-on indoctrination mode with no sign of slowing. The good news is more and more are waking up to the seeds of this radicalization.
In one way or the other, the left-wing mob will find a way to get you. They don't want apologies; they want the destruction of those they view as enemies to their worldview. Just look around all of the weird acts of contrition being exhibited by white liberals that are rightfully described as activities that are more in line with cult behavior. I was going to put some examples here but many of them have been removed or made so hard to find that people like myself simply say it is not worth the effort. I'm sure you have seen the washing of feet and the communal praying to the race diety.
Among self-described liberals, we’re watching an intellectual revolution. This particular revolution is a political catastrophe that in reality appears more of a psychotic break than a revolt. It now appears that the American left has actually lost its mind. It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Snobs who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness.
The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they shun debate, moving straight to shaming threats, and intimidation. They are counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves. They will walk straight to the razor's edge voluntarily and then ask for more.
They’ve conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and it’s established now that anything can be an offense, from a UCLA professor placed under investigation for reading Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” out loud to a data scientist fired* from a research firm for — get this — retweeting an academic study suggesting nonviolent protests may be more politically effective than violent ones!
Yes, change is good. Yes, change is needed and even once in a while a bit of insurrection can be healthy. The problem is this toxic mess we find ourselves in originates from a location that is occupied by hate, far beyond the limits of anger. Oddly enough colleges, prestigious universities, and the media are at risk as well. The motto of the mob is death to the institution, it makes no difference if the institution supports the left or the right.
Once the mob breathes enough life into the cause world leaders, countries with great resources and the United Nations global activist will pick up the charge. At that point, it will be a well funded clearly defined march towards the goal of transferring power to the global governance system. It is all about controlling the environment, population, and freedoms that determine the quality of our lives. Of course, this will be sold to us as something good for society. You will be told that if you don't get behind this or if you prevent it from happening it will result in the destruction of the human race.
Nothing could be further from the truth
