This is the first word of Hope concerning these gutter scum losers. If Keri here was one of them, and managed to get right with God and herself, that is a glimmer of optimism.

All rational Americans have just fucking had it with the modern Marxist mob posing as Democrats.

I think it is generous to call them Marxist. That implies some sort of driving motivation that has some level of internal logic (albeit flawed logic). I don't think it's anywhere near that coherent or well thought out. Lurching, reactive ids - that's what I see.

Fair enough, but those DRIVING their behavior are acting within a Marxist-Leninist-Alinsky-Clinton-Obama framework.

Yes, the people who are stoking the fires have motives. I mean, have you seen Teen Vogue? Weird to say, but I stumbled on it and thought it was such a hilariously naked attempt to sway younger people. I've been keeping an eye on it for a while. Ever since the "everything you wanted to know about Marx but were afraid to ask" 😂 Sure, there, pal, that's a real finger on the pulse of the youth and a totally organic article chosen with no ulterior motive. 🫩

I agree, that may be precisely what is wrong with them, nothing to believe in.

Truth! This is what happens when people are chronically discontent. They are living without God, they don’t know who they are, and don’t know His good plans and purpose for their lives.

Imagine they put that type of energy into

Building a home for homeless

Working at a Playground to make great equipment for kids to have fun on

Building out Help for the Elderly

what a Waste of a Life….a flipping Waste.

I think it’s time to expel them all into ONE state and wall the state off. Make it a Penal colony

The classic symbol of fascism is the bundle of sticks representing the power of the collective over the individual. Their path to power is the group bound together and bullying any who challenge their groupthink.

Wait until you tell people that there is such a thing as totalitarian democracy…”OH NO that’s impossible” Sigh. Stuff that people used to reason out in college never even gets discussed now… I’ve tried explaining fascism to everyone that throws around the word like its an adjectival insult for anyone “not as politically ‘enlightened’ as me”… I’ve just given up. It’s “fascism” bc a Senator interrupts a presser resists police and gets arrested (I call that political theater…) But all of this happened in front of a free press that recorded and reported it all from various political viewpoint… Yeah…Lots of “fascism” there. These folks wouldn’t know real fascism if it bent them and bored them out 50 over… And THEM being fascists? About as possible in their minds as totalitarian democracy….

I know this post is ultimately for us (the people who agree with you), but I want to second the need for the Left to embrace some integrity. One of the modes by which this ideology has been able to persist and infect almost all of our instutitions is through its arrogance-- to them, if you agree with anything they propose, it is not because their suggestions or beliefs or activism is wrong or harmful or imperfect, it's because YOU are dumb, uneducated, a racist, a homophobe, etc, etc. Humility is what cured me. Humility is the first step to wisdom. It's admitting that maybe you don't know everything, and it's being aware of the FACT that you are an imperfect human being, and that you (like all other humans) make mistakes, and you can be influenced and misled just like everyone else.

Humility would have a purification effect on ALL of this.

Keri, I typically choose to err on the side of caution when “liking” something that contains such raw and straightforward admonitions. I often agree with the principles of a writer’s intentions, but if I find the delivery too harsh or (seemingly) judgmental I silently “thank” the writer and move on.

After reading your piece and finding sad agreement on many of your observations, I HAD to acknowledge your personal right to comment on people living in a world that many of us know nothing about. Your personal experience earns you the right to speak out so bluntly on a difficult topic.

I’m very much of the belief that when someone REALLY CARES they are willing to risk telling the TRUTH which others are unwilling to say out of fear of personal repercussions.

Thank you for your BRAVERY and COURAGE.

Sometimes we NEED to hear unpleasant Truths.
