And that is a futile argument to attempt to argue against and it can never be overcome. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights is by definition, at least by the radical Lefts definition exactly that, “White Supremacy”. Nothing more and nothing less. It can be nothing else.

So, the conclusion is that once again an argument is proposed, and the two sides come to argue against each other, and they are of course both arguing about two different things in two different realities.

Much like in Strategy Over Morality where there are in effect always two political conversations underway and those in the Pedestrian Realm believe there is one political conversation underway. A bait and switch in effect, and you can NEVER win the argument because the terms and definitions are not known and agreed upon. The deck is stacked, and the house always wins.

I believe that the Founders and their Constitution, President Lincoln (R) and President Lyndon B. Johnson (D) and his “Great Society” attempted to in some way shape or form reconcile this issue. And trillions of dollars were spent to make that attempt. To what end?

Is the son required to pay for the sins of the father? No, no, and no. Just one more modern day political psyops to divide and manipulate people and retain political power.” .

As its author observes:

“The separation of the political left from any sort of reasonable governance has been obvious for years now. To put it simply, they see the government as their personal weapon for deconstructing the country so they can rebuild society the way they want. They believe this is their right – The right of the collective to socially engineer.

The notion that elements of the government might serve the interests of conservatives and independents is an unthinkable heresy. And, whenever they don’t get exactly what they want from the government (which is rare) they immediately act as if they have been betrayed; that an ‘insurrection’ is afoot to enslave them.”

The most difficult thing for average people to grasp — and likewise for many if not most of our elected leaders — is that the radical left has gone far beyond the point of wanting to merely “change” or modify certain aspects of our existing social and political systems, and they fully intend to deconstruct the country and rebuild society the way they want.

Sadly, there are now so many people in this country that haven’t a clue about “why” our country was created and why we have a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, and the Rule of Law — not to mention any inkling of the historical and cultural context out of which these remarkable creations arose — that they can easily enough be led to believe (cf, Rep. Jaamal Bowman) that these institutions are actually impediments to their happiness and well being, and the sooner they are abolished the better. And, as Max suggests, we are seeing this ignorance play out in places like Michigan, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, and New York.

As for Max’s question as to whether or not the left realizes that they’re “braiding their own rope,” no, like the Bolsheviks who overthrew the Kerensky Provisional Government in 1917, they fully intend to take power and hang all of the people reading this post. But none of us — probably like most members of the Russian Duma the time — can “believe” that they really intend to do this*. Destroying our country and its institutions is, well, insane, and why would they want to do such a thing? Nor can we easily comprehend why so many people in Michigan and in other places are perfectly fine with the prospect of such a revolution. Yet, they *are* fine with it, and like the residents of Jonestown, they prefer the radical left’s woke Kool-Aid to any other brand.

*Or that they are “coming for our children.”

PS — It would seem that the people of France are currently experiencing a slightly later “phase” of the deconstruction of their country / culture / civilization at the hands of the Jacobin left, and it will be instructive to see how they respond.

“Sticks and stones may break your bones” but words will get you a felony with a $10,000 fine and a possible five years in prison… be careful Wayne, Michigan has outlawed undesirable speech. (or anything at all that offends them like a flag tie pin, a red tie, or breathing)

“Hypothetically speaking, an individual could “feel” intimidated or harassed, for example, for being called by the wrong “preferred pronoun.””

In Michigan‘s house and senate, whenever a conservative takes the microphone in turn during a debate, The microphone is turned off, so the snowflake liberals won’t have to hear “hate speech”. Representation without representation?
The real haters are bullying the minority Republicans and feel justified doing so. (Undesirables do not deserve life, liberty, or property) Don’t they realize that they’re braiding their own rope?

Exactly. And their tactics of using every instrument at their disposal — up to and including the open advocacy of brute force — to silence their opposition is the key to understanding who these people are and what they are all about. The problem is, the left’s rejection of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Rule of Law (cf, the howling that has accompanied SCOTUS’ ruling on affirmative action) marks the total abandonment (per the graphic in the post) of any remaining links to conventional liberal orthodoxy*, and they are as proud as peacocks about this. And fierce as lions in promoting their collectivist agenda.

*And to “traditional” Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Perhaps even more disturbing, their “woke” collectivist ideology has taken root in so many deep blue states and cities that there isn’t even a working constituency there in support of such concepts as a limited constitutional government (i.e., the Founders’ vision of an American Republic), citizenship, and the Rule of Law. Instead, most residents in these districts look toward government only to “give” them things, enforce the new woke catechism, and to make them feel “safe” from ideas (such as freedom of speech or the right to self defense) that don’t appeal to them. In this respect, this article about California in Vanity Fair goes a long way toward explicating such differences and pointing out just *how* wide a cultural gulf seems to separate such places as California and Florida.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/california-political-crisis

Again, the takeaway is that there has been such a divergence of cultural differences between what is now thought to be “normal and proper” in red states and blue states — and as highlighted by the rhetoric of their respective governors — that it is hard to see how we can remain a “United” States. In the most hopeful sense, one might imagine that Californians — much as in the case of FDR’s advocacy of the “Four Freedoms” in 1941** — are simply articulating a set of *additional* rights (just as freedom from want and fear were novel concepts at that time) that were traditionally overlooked or undervalued before industrialization and finance changed the country’s social landscape, while not rejecting all of the cultural DNA that has come before.

Note that freedom of speech and freedom of worship were still venerated by the Democrats of that era.

The sad reality, however, appears to be that a lot of (mostly younger and “better educated”) Americans in deep blue places do not WANT the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Rule of Law to influence their lives, and they look toward the radical left and the Biden Administration to “protect” them from such obsolete and outdated concepts. If they are lucky, they will eventually end up living in a society like Cuba or Canada, and perhaps they will be very happy there. More likely, they will get to experience life more along the lines of what obtains in North Korea or in Iran, but by that time it will be far too late for them to have second thoughts about conducting such an experiment.

Someone once wrote about a “road to serfdom,” but — for the moment — folks in the blue states and cities are all to eager to reject their American heritage and embark on their pilgrimage to the Woke Promised Land.

Gary, here..

I chuckled for some reason.

Truth, I have no children of my own. I’ve helped two women to raise 5 of their own as if they were mine.

I almost had one of my own. It didn’t survive a tubal ligation. Never would have.

5 people who feel something about me they don’t feel for someone else: like they fathers.

It’s been years since they called me on my birthday. Nothing is certain.

Good to see that you believe that it is a parent’s responsibility to raise their child and not the state’s right to dictate what a parent’s child is exposed to.

Truth be told, I wouldn’t let any of them near my children.
