We live in a society gripped by a quasi-religious fervor — and obsessed with symbols and irrational fears.
Anything that is thought to have the slightest association with racism, no matter how attenuated the connection or how innocent the explanation, must be crushed and expunged.
The mere presence of a possibly offending word is deemed a threat, whether it is truly offensive or any real people have actually taken offense. We are engaged in a war with shadowy forces that we can’t truly understand, but must exercise the utmost vigilance, lest they sneak up on us unawares.

Yes, and this is where the dems have lead us. They were trying to be sneaky about it and use just a bit of intimidation and violence but they are stuck with Uncle Joe who is a joke so they had to unleash the full force of the Leftist crazies. Their goal is to undermine and delegitmize EVERYTHING about America so that they can throw it away and rebuild things in their warped image. They have not been able to win on individual issues because they do not have any rational support for their arguments. So they are throwing everything into a blender with the cover off, hitting frappe, and hoping that the mess will be so overwhelming as to tip everything over.
The dems don't care about the resulting chaos, only that they hope to be left in charge. Their motto might be "Better to reign in Hell rather than serve in Heaven.".

“ The mere presence of a possibly offending word is deemed a threat, whether it is truly offensive or any real people have actually taken offense.“
I’ve always believed that being offended is a choice. I grew up in the era of “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Today’s SJW’s choose to be offended because it allows them to be the toddlers that they are. They and the rest of the left have been in a four year temper tantrum, to the detriment of the rest of us.

When you have 'micro-aggressions' and safe rooms with coloring books and stuffed teddy bears to sooth you when your upset by some mean old un-PC deplorable, you're basically a lost cause.

''Woke'' is just the newest sect of the Religion of Liberalism. The older people of the religion branched out years ago and called their sect the DNC. The DNC sect finds a different messiah every 2 to 4 years to fall down before and grovel before. Accolytes for the DNC are any minority situated individual with hands out, palms up.

Well put #1. You can find this pattern in any good scholarly work on how cults control people.
The American Left needs to be "deprogrammed" which is a delicate process between loving family members. Their entire foundation is built upon lies. Humans are a religious species. We all have a deep rooted belief structure. The left is constructed to a great extend by people with no other belief structure than leftism itself, it is their religion.
Convincing me I'm wrong about an economic principle is a hard undertaking. I'm stubborn, not without a degree of hubris, and I will require a well constructed argument with supporting data and facts. I'll need a chance to digest those facts, challenge them, try on alternate explanations for size, explore to see if any studies or historical examples actually tested my alternate explanations and perhaps then I'll integrate the new (to me) input into my overall understanding. To convince me that my choice to follow Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior is a far greater undertaking.
Changing a leftist's point of view is to change their religion. Their beliefs are not based on history, facts, data but rather like my religion, faith.
History tells us that chaos and anarchy are tools used by those intending to seize power. By manufacturing a thirst for order through disorder, you can sucker people into accepting your offer to establish order. Its that simple. That new order will be devoid of freedom.

I am hearing more and more parents are being accused by their propagandized children of being evil, but are afraid of saying anything for fear of loosing them. The fact is that when children feel justified in attacking their parents, they have already lost them. And, the irony is that they spent a fortune sending them to college where they got propagandized.

#6, since most of those children are unemployed parasites living off their parents, the solution is to cut them off financially. Tell them that, if they’re old and smart enough to attack their parents, they’re old enough and smart enough to grow up, get a job and support themselves.
