“Why, America’s the only free nation on earth. Besides! Country’s too big for a revolution. No, no! Couldn’t happen here!”
~ Sinclair Lewis
Why can’t people see what is happening to our country?
Why can’t they see through their hatred of President Trump and acknowledge the complete disaster the Democrats are?
Why can’t they see the authoritarianism rampant in the Biden government?
Why can’t they see that “anti-racism” is just racism with a different target?
Why are some facilitating the fall from liberty and independence?
Some very good questions.
In my considered opinion, there are a couple of obvious reasons.
First, for our generation (those born after WWII and before the Clinton presidency), I think there is a huge dose of "it can't happen here" involved.
There are many generally intelligent people who are looking at our situation and simply can't process what is happening, or just don’t want to process it. They don't want to believe we are slouching toward the end of the America they knew - and as a result, they deny what is right in front of their faces. That’s why the language has been bastardized to the point that words have no meaning.
Maybe it is just that this older generation doesn’t want to take responsibility for the obvious decay in civil order, interpersonal relationships and the fact politics has turned into war, complete with real battles and casualties. Tucker Carlson pointed out last night that car jackings are the modern equivalent of highway robbery – if that analogy is operable, it is not a stretch to see the victims of wanton crime brought about by Democrat “reforms” of the criminal justice system as deaths and injuries on the field of battle.
The second reason is that we have grown a couple of generations that are comfortable with an America that has never before existed (one reason history is attacked). They see rampant discrimination, alibi-ism, one-eyed, thumb on the scales “justice”, and no limits government, as normal.
The only thing between the younger generations and complete disaster is an older generation that still remembers what America was like when it still mostly functioned as intended.
If we lose the next decade or so, then we are gone, the bovine fecal matter will hit the rotating wind generating device.
We worry about the world our children and grandchildren will inhabit when the truth is, they won’t even notice the freedoms they have lost - that is until their grandchildren rise in revolution against them.
The good news is that there is a wave beginning to roll toward shore that has the potential to wash the Democrats and their dreams of a “benevolent” dictatorship back out to sea.
We are winning but winning is always temporary unless effort is applied to it. It's not enough to win three out of four quarters, every down must be contested, every drive must end in points on the board.
It is always darkest just before the dawn - and as a lifelong duck hunter, I can attest to the fact is is also coldest just before sunrise.
It's time we believed that not only can it happen here, it IS happening.
Now is the time to stomp on the accelerator.
Love your word pictures! And, you are spot on! Thank you for reliably illustrating the truth.
"the bovine fecal matter will hit the rotating wind generating device."
Love it!
Excellent post!
