Progressive Philosophy in a Single Paragraph

Buzzfeed's take on the film Patriot's Day reveals the left wing mindset, with all of it's anti-American values and massively distorted logic. I still wait to meet a left winger capable of critical analysis and thought...

"Patriots Day crystallizes the ethos of Trump’s America: the normalization of totalitarianism and anti-intellectualism, a return to the delineation of global politics into camps of right and wrong, patriot and terrorist, winners and losers, and an impulse to flatten and otherwise ignore reality in the name of feeling good and guiltless."

According to Buzzfeed writer Anne Helen Petersen, because of my values, I am "anti-intellectual". I would argue that this evening when I have a Warsteiner pilsener with my dinner, that 330 ml of beer will kill more brain cells than Petersen devotes to critical thinking. Why is the left's definition of "intellectual" so utterly devoid of intellect?

She comments about American values including "winners and losers", as if that was somehow morally wrong. A product of participation trophy mindset. In the real world, 2nd place really is the first place loser. Sorry, if that disturbs some, you need to learn that there are people who can accomplish more and better things than you. That's reality and it's the reality of nature.

Then we get to “right and wrong”. Petersen seems to think that these two things are relative. They’re not. A known indication of sociopathic tendency is the inability to separate right from wrong. No moral compass, which invariably leads to justifying virtually anything. Which seems to indicate why the left doesn’t grasp the evil of Islamic Jihad.

The entirety of the quoted paragraph reveals the warped reasoning and fascist bent of Progressive politics. She unwittingly describes the depraved state of those of her ilk in one paragraph. A lesson to those who struggle to tolerate people like Petersen. Somehow, mainstream America has become accepting of progressive, anti-American attitudes. Many just shrug them off, rather than push them to explain their reasoning and their motives. By enabling the enemies of freedom, the Progressive movement has become complicit in the evil.

This absence of a moral compass is directly related to decline of Judeo-Christian values. Rebellion against right, perhaps because wrong is often easier and provides immediate gratification.

This is why Trump resonated. He defined a clear, unambiguous line between what he believed was right and wrong. Professional politicians loath setting clear lines, because they need the ability to straddle or change sides of the fence as required to get reelected. Trump took a stand, a clear and easy to understand demarcation from politics as usual.

Thus, his presence is a direct threat to progressives, who have relied on ambiguous Republican politics to make inroads in society at the cost of civility and kindness. This is why a substantial portion of Americans have joined Trump in drawing a line against the fascism of left wing politics. Perhaps, these folks will develop the courage to take back the nation from those who hate it and its values that made it the greatest bastion of liberty on earth.
