The Leftist End Game?

 Today, at Townhall.com Kurt Schlichter has an article entitled What Is the Democrats' End Game? It is filled with Schlichter's signature snark, but it also includes a very large portion of human nature and of history. I am utterly astonished by the young peoples' tolerance of Communism and socialism. Perhaps it is because they have been taught that socialism is a good thing and not taught all the evil that has been done under Communist rule. But every time Marxism has been tried, over and over and over again it has murdered millions of people and left societies in abject misery.

During COVID I was commenting on the scarcity of products and the emptiness of store shelves to a lady, and I said, "It's beginning to look like Venezuela or Cuba here." To which she replied, "What do you mean?" And these people vote. So let me at least pass on a bit of history.

When I was young, the Soviet Union put on a show of dominating the entire world.  Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev even said so by claiming that capitalists would sell him the rope to hang us with. During this time, the occasional piece would come out showing the misery of the Soviet people whenever a 5 year plan failed, and they all seemed to fail. The Russians would have to import grain from, horror of horrors, the United States. Then the Soviet Union collapsed. But China began to rise, again spurred on by the greed of international corporations (not to be confused with actual capitalists). China is looking like it too will collapse. Pol Pot has come and gone. Cuba remains a Communist hell hole, and it has been joined by Venezuela and to a lesser extent Brazil. Wherever Communism, socialism, Fascism, or Marxism goes, envy, murder, misery, and scarcity follow in its train. The Left always believes it can change man for the better and create a Utopia on earth. They only prove the Bible correct.

Schlichter writes:

Americans are more divided than we have been since the first time the Democrats started and lost a civil war, with every norm being tossed out and every legitimate exercise of lawfully attained power by us normals being shamelessly obstructed. The left rejects the idea that patriotic Americans have any moral right to participate in theirown governance, to pursue their own interests, or to assert their own rights. To them,we are nothing but thralls, tax-generating slaves who must feed them, fuel them, fight for them, and obey their commands while meekly accepting their calumny.

They are delusional. Things aren’t going to work out that way.

But things are going to work out some way, and you have to wonder what their endgame is. After all, the Democratic Party, which is entirely indistinguishable from the left, refuses to accept the legitimacy of Donald Trump or any of us and is doing everything it can to prevent us from exercising any self-governance. That specifically and notably includes enforcing laws that were passed through the proverbial Schoolhouse Rock “I’m Just a Bill” process. It’s not much of a democracy if democratically enacted laws are not enforced. We have very clear laws on illegal immigration, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them to get rid of the millions of invaders they allowed into the country without our permission. We have very clear laws on racial discrimination, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them, particularly when they might benefit people of pallor. We have very clear laws on crime, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them to make our cities safe, like in Washington DC, where they’re perfectly happy to sacrifice hundreds of black lives, and a few white ones, to make sure Trump doesn’t score a victory by making that urban cesspool habitable again.

One of the things that is most apparent is that Trump is not doing anything that is against the law. Schlichter mentions here a few examples, but every executive order and every executive action is within the law. The Left participated in making these laws, but now that Trump is enforcing them, they screech "he can't do that."  There is no law allowing boys to play in girls' sports either, but they seem determined to make it so. As Schlichter notes, what can't go on will not go on.

What can’t go on won’t go on, and this can’t go on. You can’t have half of America denying that the other half of America has any kind of moral right to participate in Our Democracy, and believing that the other side is so morally flawed, so obviously literally fascist in its love of attractive women, blue jeans, law and order, and not being discriminated against because its ancestors came from Europe, that to even consider their interests or rights is to embrace Hitler.

Will we just give up, shrug our shoulders, and decide to allow them to do whatever the hell they want? OK, here you go, here’s our hard-earned money to give to your deadbeat constituents and to launder to communist NGOs and your billionaire donors. Here you go, here are all our guns. We know how much you hate us having those. We’re not worried about what inevitably happens to people who disarm themselves. And we’ll just shut up now and not exercise free speech by pointing out how corrupt, stupid, venal, and ridiculous you and your ilk are. England can show us the way – if somebody hops on X (assuming it still operates after Elon Musk gets arrested for whatever made-up crime they make up) and points out that a dude with a penis can never be a woman, here comes the SWAT team! And we’ll just let you guys gerrymander your hearts out in the blue states, but we will make sure that every Jasmine Crockett-like borderline clinical moron in some bluish part of a red state gets a safe district. And we will stop expecting to have a say in everything, because of course, we’re not qualified to have a say in anything. We’re not qualified to raise our own kids. We’re not qualified to decide what injections we get. We’re not qualified to opine on weather policy, so take out cars, trucks and steaks. We’re certainly not qualified to decide whether or not we want tens of millions of Third World peasants invading our country and turning it into the kind of hellhole they fled from. So, yeah, you’re good. You pinkos take over and handle things. We’ll be here, ready to take your abuse, take the blame for anything that ever goes wrong, and obey all your commands.

But if you believe that, you’re gobbling more of your SSRIs and washing them down with more oaky Chardonnay than usual.

As Schlichter points out, we are not going to give up our right to worship our God, or our guns, or our rights to speak freely. Even if the Left stacks the Supreme Court with fellow travelers, they cannot legitimately take our rights because these were granted not by government of men but by our Creator. We will defend these and other rights because in the end it is better to be dead than to live on our knees to some tyrant.

Please read all of Kurt Schlichter's article, and of course, by guns and ammo. We all pray we will never need them, but you never know.
