The War Ordinary Americans Must Win

Member Group : Jerry Shenk

A single case of left-wing cultural aggression might be overlooked as a random event, two as coincidence. But three suggests organization, and the fourth and subsequent incidents are evidence of cultural warfare.

In May, Dennis Prager wrote: “The dominant force in America and…other Western countries today is fear of the Left.

“This is a result of the fact that the most dynamic religion of the past 100 years has been neither Christianity nor Islam. It has been leftism. Whoever does not recognize this does not understand the contemporary world.”

But fear of antagonizing leftists is evaporating. It took many generally-fatuous, occasionally violent aggressions over time, but ordinary Americans – “deplorables” or “bitter clingers” to leftists — understand that they are perfectly normal. It’s the Torquemada-left that’s crazily attempting to recast ordinary deportment as “hate crimes” and victimize ordinary Americans in their cultural auto-da-fés.

Minding their own business and live-and-let-live attitudes didn’t exempt them from gratuitous attacks by alt-left culture warriors, so ordinary Americans have finally copped to the realities that “virtue-signaling” is a charade leftists substitute for genuine virtue, and their in-your-face aggressions are merely attempts at intimidation designed to seize a measure of control.

There was a time in America, not very long ago, when Blue Lives Mattered. “Toxic masculinity” was known simply as “regular guys.” Normal conversations weren’t “micro-aggressions.” NFL “kneelers” would have been denounced by nearly everyone. Even Democrats would have agreed with the president that MS-13’s violent gangbangers were “animals.” Masked Antifa aggressors would have been arrested and prosecuted. Almost everyone would have scoffed at biological absurdities like “transgenderism.” Back then, obvious crossdressers, kids with purple hair, weird tattoos, nose rings and other gender and/or sartorial anomalies were politely overlooked as curiosities.

More recently, though, America’s “progressive” political wing consciously allowed them all to infiltrate and influence its mainstream. The Democratic Party has embraced alt-left culture warriors in the apparent belief that its extreme fringes have sufficient numbers to return Democrats to power.

But the alt-left is determined to destabilize and dominate America. Having a public voice doesn’t satisfy them. Indeed, counter-culturists seek to silence anyone – everyone – who merely disagrees with them. In actuality, though, leftists’ intolerance and aggression are merely overcompensation for a lack of political confidence and subliminal admissions of intellectual insecurity.

Ordinary people who honor America’s culture and traditions wish to preserve the civil, orderly processes that have always shaped and reshaped the nation’s cultural landscape. But, orderliness frustrates noisy, impatient, power-hungry counter-culturists, so the alt-left is waging war. The only way leftists can win their war on America/American culture is to rewrite the rules, assume absolute moral authority and delegitimize every source of opposition.

In order to defeat left-wing counter-culturists, ordinary Americans must speak out. Never be passive. Never give in. Never apologize. Culture warriors take apologies, including from other liberals, as admissions of guilt. Never reward them.

If they unite to resist and reject the left’s oppressive restrictions on political/cultural speech — and vote – determined ordinary Americans will win.
