All this demonstrates is that liberals were never what they claimed to be.
Their grab for power let their disguise slip, exposing their true nature for all to see.

for fascist's or any tyrant to gain and retain control, words and ideas need to be redefined. Then what can't be redefined becomes vilified or worse illegal.

yes, the left long ago left being a "classic" type of liberal
they are now commie type "liberals", have been for a long, long type, hiding behind the name "liberal"

and old time democrats keep voting for anyone with a "D", not caring what they stand for

add in RINOs.... like pence and christie

The nonsense and destruction manifest by the left is a product of luxury -- the abundance of cheap and abundant energy. We are living through an age of decadence -- a couple generations of it now... living way beyond our means (present readership being the exception I would offer). Things, life as we know it, needs to get seriously worse for your average Joe and Jane before things start to change -- the 2020 burn, loot and murder riots, open decay of the cities with encouraged homelessness, rampant inflation, the failure of any remnants of the criminal justice system, the warping of reality with the wokeness crap ... all this needs to get worse before something is done. Have you seen any politician or high-level bureaucrat hanging from a gallows or their naked body hung just outside the governor's mansion? Nope. A few dispatches of the filth with good optics may begin to affect changes. And even then, it might require a good many naked bureaucrats meeting their embarrassing end. Until then, it's really just a lot of pissing into the wind. The book Molon Labe has some interesting techniques for implementing what I have been discussing on this board. Nothing is going to be nuked from orbit -- nice story, good tagline, change will have to occur at the grass-roots level. We need to get creative. Thanks for listening.
