One of the ideas that the Leftist surge in the Twentieth Century gave us is the idea that politics is supreme. Everything in life is political, and thus the control of the government is equal to the control of society.
I thought about this idea this morning as I woke up. Many people have remarked how the Left has gotten even more deranged since the election. If they "won", where are they so crazed? This is not how they acted after Obama won. In 2008 and afterwards, they had a smug coolness that embodied the notion that it didn't matter what their opponents believed. They were going to do what they wanted anyway. All the momentum was with them.
I was expected the same thing this time after their phony "victory," but to my surprise, and to many people's surprise, they are acting more like they lost (which of course they did, but one would think they would be happy enough to have the levers of governmental power back in their hands).
Nothing seems to satisfy them now expect our complete destruction. Why is this so?
The notion that below it all they know they "won" by fraud certainly must haunt them. More deeply, they know they have lost the nation.
For four years they did nothing but assault Donald Trump and his followers with lie and after lie. They had complete monopoly over the media. Even the "conservative" mainstream network was anti-Trump much of the time. They put forth the idea in their that no sane and decent person supported Trump. He was unpopular and disliked. Only a fringe group of "deplorable bitter clingers" (to use both Hillary and Obama's terms for us) were in his corner. Even "sane" Republicans opposed him.
Yet Trump blew them away on election night. The polls were exposed as fake. They rage: how could this have happened?
I suggest it happened because we have reached the turning point in the long Culture War. The Left was winning the Culture War for decades. Their opponents could manage only rear-guard actions. Even conservative movements during this time amounted to forms of Right wing Leftism (see previous post). Libertarians mouthed support for "weed and guns," but most of the Libertarians I know I too attracted to Leftist cultural paradigms. The ones I know voted for Biden. Leftists should be proud to welcome them into their camp.
No, this is something deeper. I can't place my finger on it yet but I have a deep sense that for the first time in my lifetime, the Old America---the real American Revolution---is on its way back. Even as the traitorous Biden invites the Chinese to take over our power grid on his first day, and enslaves the U.S. to binding accords to destroy its industrial base, it doesn't seem to matter. Somehow it seems fleeting, as if the entire Left is running on fumes.
The Left's grand strategy in the Culture War was to replace the old American culture with Pop Culture, which they control, and which exists only in the Postmodern realm of the imagination (and is therefore never beholden to reality). With all Americans pulled into Pop Culture, America could be re-formed and re-designed into whatever they wanted because of the essentially malleability of the Dramaturgical. We would all live in a backstage open-air nationwide Hollywood backlot, moving about as "extras" while they ---via the "talent" of celebrities, including journalist celebrities---told us all what to do. At the end of the day we cashed our meager paychecks and came back for the next day's shoot.
All of this has failed. It failed because it was essentially phony. Pop Culture is dead. It has degenerated into pseudo-pornography that can do nothing but glorify the sinless base nature of humanity, or express the most ridiculous cloying Woke sentiments.
Pop Culture is over. It was Godless and meaningless. It produced a society of miserable, unhappiness people (the Leftists), who can get no satisfaction except for dragging others into their misery (another sure sign that their energy is demonic in nature).
We will have address the election fraud in a serious way. How that is done, I don't know, but it will be done. Like many on our side, I have felt the serene confidence that God will show us the way if we ask Him.
In the meantime, with each passing day, we get stronger and they get weaker. They know this and this is why they are losing their minds even in "victory." It is no longer fashionable to be on their side. I have noticed this on Youtube, where suddenly it feels as if the cool thing to do is mock the Democrats, and not in the "they didn't go far enough and elect Bernie Sanders" sort of way, but in the way that suggests they are on our side.
