We are living through an astonishing time in our nation’s political history. Somewhat more than half of Americans see President Trump as a leader of courage, energy, and commitment with a proven record of promoting peace and strengthening both the U.S. economy and the southern border against an illegal invasion, whereas the other half sees only personal evil in Trump and describes him with adolescent hyperbole, habitually comparing him to Adolf Hitler. That half is not able to thoughtfully assess Trump’s policies, or even its own economic or political interests.
Instead,
these people cling to a sense of moral superiority and are obsessed with
the imputed personal sins of a man they despise...... this is not a free-standing mental disorder. Rather, it is a
delusional symptom cluster at the terminal stage of a sixty-year vast,
progressively insane attempt by the left wing, especially the cultural,
educational and political elites, to entrain the American people to
despise their nation, their laws, and themselves in order to break their
self-respect and mentally enslave them to government control. Few
people can stand against the indoctrination and brainwashing that they
have been exposed to all their lives.......[Trump was] the
man who challenged their beliefs..... (Editor's Note: There's much more, and worth reading. RK)
I thought her use of the word entrain was a mistake but it means to put aboard a train, and that's what the left has been doing in America for almost 150 years, and they started by capturing public education. After reading the article and then the comments I think it worthwhile to explain leftist/socialism in America didn't start out as an openly Marxist movement.
Socialism is foundationally atheistic, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that didn't fly in America, so they called themselves "progressives", and the driving force behind that was religion, what's now called the "progressive gospel", in effect claiming socialism was the practical application of the Christian ethic.
They use our own values against us. Now everyone was to be everyone's bother and were responsible for each other and morally obligated to ___________fill in the blank, all of which would entail massive amounts of money confiscated from the American public and spent as they saw fit in order to expand government control over Americans lives. Hence their need for the 16th Amendment, income tax, and the 17th Amendment ending how Senators were chosen by the states as de facto ambassadors to the central government, effectually overturning the 10th Amendment, the states rights amendment. With passage of the 17th Amendment, for all practical purposes, states rights ended. And finally the creation of the FED to take control of the currency out of the hands of Congress. All done in 1913.
After WWII the real powers behind this movement didn't need religion any longer and kicked them to the curb, and then the driving force was psychology. If you disagreed with what they were promoting, you were not only morally inadequate, you were insane, which is the same clabber they're promoting now.
So after almost 150 years of religious and social corruption condemning western civilization's moral and mental foundations it's a wonder we're now finally coming out of that miasma, and truth is coming to the fore.
Truth is the sublime convergence of history and reality. Everything we're told has a historical foundation and context, and everything we're told should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. If it doesn't, it's wrong, and all that's left to do is develop the intellectual response to explain why it's wrong. And that's what's finally happening as a result of the internet and the rise of the alternative media.
Having the truth exposed is why the Democrat party is in a downward swirl of failure, academia is being seriously challenged, which will become more pronounced in the coming years, heretical religious leaders are being openly questioned and abandoned, Europe's socialist governments are broke and collapsing, and the Pravda media is and swirling down the drain.
