As we say in the South, “ the chickens have come home to roost” for the Radical Left, aka what seems to be the majority of the Democratic Party. The cultural mind-virus of campus hate speech, cancel culture, gender identity politics, and the tyranny of the minority has raised its ugly head to bite the hands that have been feeding it for decades. The supreme irony is while the Radical Left continually claims MAGA Conservatives are the biggest threat to our Democracy, the truth is, their policies and agendas are the true threats. I should think that would be very obvious to anyone paying attention to the chaos and display of hate going on in our country right now.
My definition of Woke is literally, cultural Marxism. I define it as a Godless, anti- biblical, forced compliance with radical, alternative ideology and lifestyles of the minority. “Tyranny of the minority” is a term I’ve heard used that I think perfectly describes this crisis of hate, immorality and conscience. It is also becoming apparent that the propagandists of the Left are influencing our younger generations and causing them to propagate these lies and soul-less ideology. But now, their minions are turning on the Democrats because of the Israeli-Hamas war, and demonstrating the hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric of the Wokesters that have their origins in our public education, especially Universities. The confusion being caused by gender politics alone is showing to be truly harmful to our younger generation. There has never been more anxiety, depression, and hopelessness among 20 and 30 year olds. Patriotism is now considered “ White Nationalism”. According to the Woke crowd, America is a racist oppressor. Our country cannot survive peacefully with this mindset of our citizens.
CONFUSION: Social media, gender confusion, hateful rhetoric by politicians, and the lack of condemnation of violence by our leaders are all contributing to the destruction of basic human rights, respect for each other, and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed by our Constitution. The confusion is deliberate. It is an age-old tactic of Communists and Marxists; a way to control the masses the Marxists leaders see as “ useful idiots”. Take God out of everyday life, destroy the traditional family unit, use racism as a way to keep Americans at each others throats and you get the Marxist, nanny-state government that controls every aspect of our lives.
COERCION: This is the use of threatened violence, negative labels, and force to make people fearful of speaking out or pushing back on policies, ideology and moral wrongs of the radical minority. Never in my adult life have I seen so many grown-ups afraid of being called names by people they don’t even know! This is a sign of lack of moral fortitude, convictions and maturity, and must be discarded immediately. We have to tell the truth and stop this destructive force now, before it’s too late.
COMPLIANCE: This has gone on too long by Conservatives and Christian’s,thinking if we just play nice and “go along to get along” everything will be ok. Now, as a Christ follower, I do know who’s really in control and that in the end, Good overcomes Evil. At the same time, I believe God is, once again, using Israel and the Jewish people to expose the evils of Godlessness, hate and antisemitism across the world. America helped save the world from Fascists and Nazis in World War 2, and rescued the Jewish people. Now Jews and Israel are once again, being portrayed as the enemy and oppressors…. the same propaganda used by the Nazis! How in the world did we get here? To all those pro-Hamas and pro- Palestinians, do your research and study history- you are on the wrong side and future history will show that.
Biblical prophecy shows there will never be peace in the Middle East between the Arabs & the Jews- but Hamas is neither. It is a Terrorist organization sponsored by Iran that wants Israel and the Jews wiped off the earth, and has committed unspeakable atrocities. Israel has every right to defend herself- the civilian casualties and destruction of Gaza should be fully blamed on Hamas- not Israel. God Bless America, Israel and the Jewish people- they are Gods chosen people and He will never allow them to be destroyed. Read the Bible-A biblical worldview and Jesus is the true Way, Truth, and Life. As a current tv ad states- “JesUS gets us-ALL OF US…”Christianity is the ultimate diverse group- all that’s required is repentance and belief. Pray for peace, love & acceptance for each other, and Godly leaders. May God have mercy on us all.
