Nature Returns to Balance

Billions in purloined taxpayer money has allowed postmodern progressives to take over the Democrat Party and to distort reality for decades. Elon and his Muskrats have laid that bare.

I've never understood the political and ideological strength of the American political left, given the irrationality of their unsuccessful policies and actions. It seems counterintuitive because, unless mental illness is present, the human mind naturally rejects contradictions, which are prevalent in much of progressivism. However, I can understand the allure of free stuff, the absence of hard work, and the avoidance of confronting conflicting ideas or dissent. In such a system, everyone is forced to conform in thought and action to avoid conflict.

Under normal intellectual scrutiny, the Marxist slogan "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" sounds appealing but is fundamentally unrealistic. People aren't uniform, and achieving global communist Utopia would require force, which inevitably strips away natural, God-given freedoms. This inherent contradiction in communism—freedom through coercion—is not a popular notion. People globally resist being dictated what to do, think, or how to live.

Eventually, every soldier but the truest believers who enlisted in the "Free Stuff Army" realize that nothing is truly free; everything comes with a cost. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

What we often refer to as "conservatism" embodies how people naturally live in a free and civil society. It is grounded in reality, respects natural laws, individuality, and immutable individual rights. It acknowledges life's chaos and risks but also its rewards, ensuring equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes.

Ironically, even American socialists, Marxists, and communists lead more conservative personal lives than their collective ideologies suggest. Prominent figures advocating for collectivism are often wealthy, part of exclusive clubs, and own multiple properties while urging workers to unite under communism.

The only way to explain the apparent strength of these ideologies despite their contradictions is to look beyond policy effectiveness. The American left's commitment to collectivism was starkly revealed through investigations into the flow of public funds. Thanks to Elon and his Muskrats, what was long suspected has been confirmed: collectivists view taxpayer money as theirs to manipulate, and they have used that money to create an alternate ecosystem funded by a network of government agencies, NGOs, aid organizations, research bodies, and even churches where their unnatural ideologies can exist – but the truth is their support is not organic but is artificially inflated or "Astroturfed."

Today, with the Democrat Party stripped of its illicit access to public funding and ideological camouflage, it must defend its ideas in an open marketplace. This isn't going well, as no amount of protest or rhetoric can compensate for the lack of substance. Even James Carville, a staunch Democrat, has criticized how the party has been swayed by a fantasist, progressive faction. He laments the irrational stances and the weak leadership now at the helm.

The Democrat Party is shrinking because Trump's strategies have cornered them into defending positions that are unconstitutional, contrary to established law, or simply illogical. Meanwhile, the "normies"—those across the political spectrum who just want to live their lives freely—are taking notice.

In a way, this is nature correcting a long-distorted balance, returning to a more authentic reality.
