During busy news cycles, it’s hard to write posts. Each story screams for attention, creating analysis paralysis. What struck me today, though, was that many of the stories we’re seeing are part of something much larger, which is what I call the “Great Sorting.” All the old patterns are broken, and people are rethinking their allegiances.
Before the 21st century, the world’s patterns were predictable. You could divide history into the era before the Soviet Union collapsed and after the collapse.
(Snip) And then, literally overnight, the Soviet Union collapsed. Americans blithely assumed that the free world had won, and the hard work was over.

More like those who receive sustenance from government and those who pay for it all...

Its always been the makers VS the takers. The takers need the makers. Without them there is nothing to steal. The makers, on the other hand, not only dont need the takers, they are better off without them.
Government is 100% takers.

History's last "Great Sorting" occurred under Hitler as it pertained to the Jews, mentally ill, and every other undesirable group based on Eugenics and Aryan ideology. Today is not much different, and again the Socialists are embracing the ideals and methods promoted by the Nazis. Unfortunately today's culture relating to morality has basically been castrated and the hope that a significant number of people will Stand firm and oppose this new sorting is growing dimmer. As with every type of sorting, groups are created and manipulated by the "sorter" and man's nature is to destroy those he disagrees with.

Eyes are being opened. The ultimate choice is, and always has been, the choice between good and evil - whether in politics, religion. Or whatever.
The thin veneer that had been used to disguise evil is becoming so transparent that people of conscience have to admit they were wrong, or join with those who call evil good & good evil.
There are many names that have been used by those who choose to do evil. It isn’t only leftists who are awakening to the disguises. The “Conservative” veneer is thinning as well, and being ripped away in some instances.
We have come to a “choose you this day whom you will serve” moment. A “time for choosing”.
As Thomas Paine said during that first American Revolution, “These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
May God be with the many or the few who choose to do good, and bless our American Patriots with victory.

Back sometime in the Dark Ages, I was taking an American History class that commented on the chaos caused by the shifting and realignment of the US political parties in the early-to-middle-ish 1800s (about 1820s). At the time, I thought how horrible it would have been to be alive then and hoped I wouldn't see such a thing in my lifetime.
But, I've been watching and I saw it start happening. Al Gore's loss in the Florida Panhandle was a great indicator. The Dems and the media (all we had was mainstream back then) just could not accept that this locale, which had consistently voted Democrat since before the Civil War, had voted Republican.
The Southern Democrats finally realized that the Democrat party no longer represented them. (Full transparency, a relative of mine was the judge who decided "no more chad counting.")
Want to talk about being "woke"?
Based on the history books, we're going to have another generation or two of this before everyone gets realigned, so I don't expect to see it happen before I die.

Too many coming out of California and NY/NJ area and going elsewhere to wreak havoc on the state that they "sorted" to.
Like plague carriers, too many of them insist on trying to remake their new location to be like the old one that they left.
Certainly many are conservatives fleeing these leftist disasters, but they aren't the only ones. Colorado has been seriously harmed by all the leftists who moved there from California.

You might notice that the article does not mention our creator. And the truth remains no matter what one thinks in opposition.
A nation without God simply has no future, and we are in that nation.

I'm no genius (ahem!) but when the Sov Union dissolved I figured it would take decades to sort out the new allegiances and we' smack dab in it. Only the Leftists seem to understand that the winner gets the spoils.

Jason Whitlock commented that “Performance could not shield Carlson from the consequence of America’s adoption of a feminized culture that levels the playing field by castrating men, reimagining traditional standards, and embracing a false reality.”
In fewer words, we call it the “pussification” of America.

It's the classic battle of "Good versus Evil."
The United States has been running from its "God-fearing Christian nation" beginnings to one that cannot even mention "God" in public places for fear of lawsuits. Although at this time it is OK to say, "Allah" and broadcast the daily call to prayer in certain cities. Supplanting the God of the Old and New Testaments with the blood-thirsty illiterate pedophile 'grand mal' "prophet" of Arabia is disgusting and degenerate. Where are the Christians in America? They're too busy getting the crap beat out of them in the public square, afraid to be Warriors for Christ and His Word.

We can blame the left all day but it was we who allowed them to take God out of the culture.

The great sorting that’s taking place in America American Thinker, by Andrea Widburg.....I call it The Great Shaking! Hebrews12:27
This reminds me of a civil war that happened in Israel against Moses. Numbers 26:10 It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the congregation, who fought against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah who rebelled against the LORD. v10 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign.
This is happening today...people rebelling against God. good vs evil. God's ministers saying "Who's on the Lord's side?" And as for the earth opening up and swallowing the evildoers..... we're waiting Lord.

I like your term...makers versus takers...I've said all along...the power hungry around the world...like gates and Kerry...need the makers...or they have no power...and when the takers get nothing...they will riot and let mob rule rein...like in New York and Chicago....

True. The categories of right and left, conservative and liberal, don't describe what's happening today.
