We are reaping what we have sown

The attempted transformation of America that we are witnessing has been decades in the making. Academia has infused curricula with false narratives about the inherent badness of America and the virtues of socialism. Freedom of speech and civil discourse have been shut down in our schools. Journalists contaminate factual news with whatever social justice platform they espouse and then censor dissenting views. Social Media is populated with the perpetually aggrieved.

A new generation of leaders, having bought into Sanders Socialism, will tell you Che Guevara was really a good guy and government can do a better job of running your life than you. Judges and attorney generals will refuse to uphold the rule of law and will revile our police. Newspapers will ensure their journalists' liberal activist views are prominent while marginalizing those who express a different opinion. Captains of industry will bow to "cancel culture." Schools will ban books and alter history. Artists will support removing works of art because of acts of oppression that were corrected through the passage of time.

This is no fairy tale. All this is already happening. The left does not hide its desire to tear down our culture and government. Don't believe Joe Biden when he says he's a moderate politician. He has already stated that he plans to be the most progressive president in history. His transformation platform will continue what was started by President Obama and will be expanded by the likes of Bernie Sanders and AOC.

This is not irreversible but stopping it requires voting. Start by defeating every Democrat running for state and local elective office and then vote against every Democrat in Congress and against Joe Biden. Fairness is not a consideration. Today's school board member may be tomorrow's senator.
