I Cannot Wrap My Intellectual Brain Around It

When I was in high school and didn't know any better, I was a staunch Reagan Conservative. I remembered, as a very young child, how bad it was under the Carter Administration and how much the country had "improved" under Reagan.

Then I went to college, and I definitely became more Liberal, not really because I had Liberal professors, though I did, but because I was aging, and I was seeing that the world wasn't black and white.

So I had gotten more to the middle.

Then I gave my life to Jesus and my empathy skyrocketed, and became even more left of center politically.

Then...

The group that I could agree with on many things started going so far Left that I didn't recognize them anymore.

And I was being radicalized and I thought I was going back to being Conservative, then I listened to Liberal Bill Maher, and Liberal John Fetterman, and some of my Progressive friends and realized I wasn't becoming more conservative.

The people I was identifying more with were leaving some of their own "believers" behind, so it had to happen to me.

Things that confused me, and made me dig my feet in.

"They" fight for women's rights, but can't define a woman.

They believe all humans have rights, but are pro choice with the unborn.

They believe all land is stolen land here in the USA, but I don't see any of them giving it "back".

They believe that Americans don't belong here, but any immigrant that shows up is as American as anyone.

They want to politicize the government and who they're arresting, indicting, and jailing, but call the other side fascist for doing the same thing.

They believe in freedom of speech unless they don't like what you're saying then they want you to shut up.

They are growing in numbers that believe political violence is needed at times.

They are anti-Christianity, but pro-Islam and Islam is almost everything they're against when it comes to freedoms of just about every group.

They are pro-terrorists and anti-democratic countries.

They are anti-Kings, but will give a standing ovation to one.

They are anti-fascist leaders, but support putting an actual dictator back in power.

They believe in women's rights, but are ok with women with penises to be allowed in women's bathrooms and locker rooms.

They are against religious "brainwashing" but are ok with indoctrination at the earliest stages.

They are against black face, but ok with woman face.

They are against human suffering, but ok with mass waves of illegal immigrants, some of who are criminals.

They want "free" social programs, but are angry when massive governmental fraud is exposed.

They want everyone to be who they want to be, unless you're someone who doesn't believe that they should be forced to partake in that belief system.

They want everyone to live a more green life, but have made some small changes in their own over the top lives.

They want the Epstein files exposed, but vote to keep private everyone who has been accused of sexual harassment in Congress.

They are against sexual assault, unless they agree with the person's politics.

They are against pedophilia, unless they agree with the person's politics.

They are against Nazis and their tattoos, unless they agree with the person's politics.

They are pro-minority rights, but won't acknowledge how many minorities are killed every day in this country in their communities and in the womb.

They don't want a man with a cross on to read to their children, but they are ok with men dressed as women to do so.

They don't want religious materials in their schools, but they're ok with pornographic material there.

They believe in body autonomy unless it has to do with brand new vaccines that haven't been tested for long.

They're pro-science, but claim you're an ignorant fool if you question "the science" which is how science is done.

They want to be left alone in their private lives, but are quick to judge and want to force you to "ok" the choices in their private lives.

They are ok with violent protests, but not with the other side just speaking their truth.

They are anti-police, but yet will call them immediately when needed.

They are anti-gun, but surround themselves with protection that are armed.

They are anti-gun, but they seem to be the ones doing most of the violent gun crimes.

They have grown so against Donald Trump (trust me, I'm no fan) that they have lost their collective minds.

As the wackos in the Progressive party sprint to the Left moving that line so fast that I can feel it moving under my feet, I've watched the middle and some of the right being moved to my left.

If that makes sense.

I want to be empathetic and full of love for everyone, but it scares me where we are heading.

I cannot wait to read Suicidal Empathy by Gad Saad which is, in effect, that we love and help so much that we will be dominated, replaced and jailed.

Not by the political Left or Right, but by those we allow to slowly take power.

When the traditional power of the USA is chipped away and eventually removed, it will create a vacuum and that vacuum will be replaced by something much, much worse.

In fact, it will be replaced by groups who will immediately go after many of those who allowed them to gain power, the useful idiots.
