Deconstructionism is the Rosetta Stone for understanding the Political Left

Progressives here in the United States have been working tirelessly since the mid 1960s to tear down all of the institutions and philosophies that served as the bedrock of this nation.  They employed a philosophical wrecking ball that was based on the writings of Karl Marx, who firmly believed in tearing down and destroying all that was traditional, all that led to prosperity, or all that led to freedom for individuals.

That philosophical wrecking ball is known as deconstructionism.  It is the dismantling of all political philosophies that are built upon individualism, which is the polar opposite of the collectivism espoused by Karl Marx.

Deconstructionists first endeavored to destroy the fundamental truths that give reality its structure.  Marxists do not believe in objective truth.  They believe that all reality is malleable.   If reality is malleable then people are extremely malleable.

Next they worked at destroying language.  Words no longer have fixed meanings.  Only the meanings assigned by the reader, not the author have any value.  All words that progressives deemed offensive were erased under the banner of political correctness.

United States history drew the full wrath of  deconstructionists because this nation, which was the freest and most prosperous that ever existed for over 150 years, was built on a foundation of individual liberty.  Slavery, which was an evil practiced by every nation and culture at the time of America’s founding, became our Original Sin, a sin that erased all good that we ever accomplished.  A sin that only we bore any blame for.

Next up on the chopping block was science. All fundamental scientific truths were dismantled.   Climate change started as a pseudo science.  Now it is the de facto religion of the left.  Biological sex has been replaced by gender fluidity.

The political left has run amok with this deconstructionism unchecked for too many decades.  It is most likely too late to repair the damage. We surrendered the culture war to them and now we are paying a very hefty price.

RFK’s Hat in the Ring

Ok I must confess I didn’t see this coming:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Democratic nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, declared his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president on Wednesday via filings with the Federal Election Commission.

The 69-year-old’s bid is considered a long shot in an effort to replace President Joe Biden in 2024. Kennedy Jr. is the second Democratic candidate to announce a bid for the White House. Author Marianne Williamson is also running in the Democratic race. Biden has not yet declared that he is seeking reelection.

Well the Dollar is collapsing as an international currency and Biden is as popular as a wart even among democrats and while Yahoo is loudly calling RFK and “anti-vaxxer” you will find there is a sizable amount of democrats not so keen on the whole “shots today, shots tomorrow shots forever” business. As Hotair notes:

No one, other than Fauci and the CDC, was a bigger vaccine nag than Joe Biden. It has only been recently that Biden has let up on talking about the vaccines every time he speaks. Even after evidence began emerging that the vaccines were not as effective as once thought, and sometimes downright dangerous to the health of some people, Biden and his administration continued to insist that everyone get the COVID-19 vaccine. People lost their jobs for not getting jabbed, including members of the military, and everyday Americans lost their ability to attend events if they couldn’t produce proof of receiving the vaccine. Our lives have never been the same. There is a lot of resentment in public opinion now over how the pandemic was handled so Kennedy will have some level of support built in.

I suspect there are plenty of dems in blue states who lost jobs over this who would be delighted to turn out for this along with some republicans who haven’t forgotten Trumps support of the vaccine.

There’s not enough old folks who still think “Camelot” for the Kennedy name to mean much but I suspect while the MSM laughs this off there will be a little bit of oomph there.

Anyways it will be fun to see how it works out.
