 [PJ] Once in a while, I wonder if Leftists ever bolt upright in bed or, in their more reflective moments, ponder if the policies they promote are really in the best interests of the nation, but are too afraid to speak out. Or if they honestly believe that the things that they push will eventually prove to be sound choices, once the dust has settled, the rubble has been cleared, and the bodies have been shoveled into mass graves. Or are they honestly bent on the wholesale destruction of the country?
I doubt that option #1 is true. I don’t think that, at this stage in the game, anyone on the Left is truly capable of any real self-assessment. I am not saying that it cannot happen. Dr. Naomi Wolf and Georgia legislator Mesha Mainor are two excellent examples of thoughtful people who could no longer stand the sight of all of those emperors parading around in their birthday suits and who took a stand against the madness. But by and large, the mantra is still strong in most Leftists. I would like to think that option #3 is also off the table, but the behavior of our social, economic, and cultural overlords would seem to indicate that at least some of them see total destruction as viable. Personally, I think option #2 — that rash, punitive, and dangerous practices are needed to create a truly great nation at some undetermined point in the future — is the strategy of choice for most of them. Or maybe they function from the standpoint that #2 and #3 are all part of the great reawakening and that some heads will need to be knocked together to reach utopia.
