The left continues to act as though it has never been, or will be, challenged—ever. Minnesota serves as a prime example. They’ve purportedly stolen millions while trying to distract everyone by attacking ICE officers. Those officers back down, and the result is Governor Tim Walz, D-Minn., threatening to sue U.S. President Donald Trump and the federal government.
The left acts as though it is an omnipotent totalitarian power that cannot be overthrown. They do not act like they believe they are God; rather, they carry on as though they are actually stronger than God. And to paraphrase an axiom of political science: power corrupts, a self-sense of omnipotence does absolutely.
Yet, it is all seemingly worse than that. They believe they can predict the weather one thousand or one million years from now. Apart from believing their own publicity, they believe they know everything serving their sinister, toxic narrative. This comprises such over-the-top self-confidence in their beliefs that they must censor or intimidate anyone who dares to dissent.
The left consistently believes it has a right to control every detail and every second of your life because of that belief. As a mental health clinician, in all my years, I have never witnessed narcissism at such heightened levels.
Hitler and Stalin ultimately faced robust opposition. They had to fear America and the relatively free Western world striking back. Today’s cultural and government left wing? They are wholly cognizant there is virtually no one to fight back—there’s nobody to fight back… except for U.S. President Trump and his supporters.
But you already hear threats of retribution coming against all ICE officers, against President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and even grassroots MAGA supporters. “We’re coming for you; your time will come,” they thunder—and experience shows they mean what they say.
Evil is consistently remarkably idiotic. So it follows, by definition: if you are evil, you act irrationally—no intelligence required. The only thing propping up today’s evil is the unwillingness or inability of anyone decent to stand up to it. Thus, the megalomaniacs of the left keep getting away with it—until they no longer can.
Left adherents prosecute, burn buildings, riot, defame, dox, impeach, imprison, fine, sue and execute. Conservatives shy from such things. Perhaps this is why we are losing—as targets and victims of lawfare—and losing the culture war.
Conservatives (at least in the era of Ronald Reagan) were not the ones who advocated appeasement of the Soviet Union. Yet, we treat today’s mortal enemies on the left as if they are capable of being reasoned with. We did so (during the Biden regime, or at least we tried) as they openly imprisoned our candidates for no reason, declared any form of dissension an “insurrection” punishable by prison, censored our speech, stripped us of our Second Amendment rights and slowly, progressively completed the nationalization of private industry via initiatives such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—among other left-wing agenda-driven, ideologic dark plans.
Oh, and threatened to perform sex change surgery on our children without consent and to imprison us as domestic terrorists if we objected.
It is a timeless principle we must relearn: appeasement didn’t work for Neville Chamberlain against Hitler in the 1930s—and it certainly won’t prove remotely effective now. Even litigation in a court system seemingly left-leaning has not halted them, and may never do so.
Concurrently, while we can pass voter ID laws—will they be enforced uniformly?—inclusive of blue states and cities. Republicans will still feel intimidated, even in red states; pressured to buckle under, they will intimidate Republicans even in some red states to buckle down, in some cases with overt ferocity.
