The Left uses each victory it achieves to move farther left... And conservatives let it happen.
Don't think President Ocasio-Cortez is in the works? Think again.
Too often in the Culture War which the Left has for decades waged, winning battles and moving the Overton Window (what is considered “normal”) toward Crazy, conservatives have callously accepted defeat. Gay marriage, for example, Exhibit A in the culture war, epitomizes the establishment of aberration as “progress” and the concocting of preposterous thin-air “rights.” Gay “marriage” should have never taken root, should’ve been smashed (there is no moral equivalent to actual marriage between man and woman) because nothing the Left ever proposes winds down…
Never.
The Left winds UP… Advances. Prevails.
Yes, folks, they win. And with each victory new policies, ideas once unthinkable, are quickly made “acceptable norms.” Had every person appalled by fake marriage defended the status quo—had they stood behind their convictions and ACTIVELY supported them, we would not have “gay marriage,” and if we didn't have gay marriage, we would not - thanks to incrementalism - be awash in gender heresy, mounting contagion, and moral blight.
But we get what we allow... And we do so often. When we know they’ll take a mile if we give an inch, yet concede that inch, we shouldn’t be shocked when the slope turns slippery… Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a nut. Literally everything she says is anti-science, economically suicidal, and absurd—yet there’s no denying that she is PERCEIVED as legitimate and considered, by millions, to be intelligent and “spot-on.”
Her latest tweet is a prime example. In it, she writes: Not just women! Trans men & non-binary people can also menstruate… Some women also *don’t* menstruate for many reasons, including surviving cancer that requires a hysterectomy… GOP mad at this are protecting the patriarchal idea that women are most valuable as uterus holders.
Insane? YEEEAH… But popular, repeated, and celebrated? Also, yeah.
And there’s the problem. Her next tweet - Trans, two-spirit, and non-binary people have always existed and will always exist. People can stay mad about that if they want, or they can grow up - illustrates how marriage catapulted society toward nuts likes AOC. She’s literally crazy, yet is “driving the car,” and, as stated, moving the Overton Window hard left. The fact that a “trans man” is a female with mental problems and that the words “men can menstruate” would, in a former time, invoke rubber rooms is, given her popularity, little comfort.
But that’s what happens when you constantly concede, when you spy the Camel’s nose in the tent, and, instead of rising to war, back down. Here I focused on marriage - a prime example of the Left targeting a pillar of society, destroying it, and creating a springboard for greater harm - but the concept applies to everything—to “climate change,” to Confederate statuary, to Critical Race - i.e., Racist - Theory… When we allow the Left to establish a lie, we allow the legitimization of anti-logic. In a sane world, sociopaths don’t prevail. In a sane world, AOC wouldn’t have 13 million Twitter followers, the perception of moral “high ground,” and POTUS buzz.
But we don’t live in a sane world. We live in a world in which insanity takes advantage, finds openings, and sets the bar. Yesterday was “gay marriage,” today it’s “trans men,” what will tomorrow bring?
If we aren’t careful, President Cortez. Commander-in-Chief Sandy… Madame President.
Because the Overton Window keeps moving left, what’s crazy today is normal tomorrow… And it seems Sandy could, indeed, win the prize—an epic disaster, the calamity of calamities.
But, hey, I reckon we can all move to Texas… Or Florida. And conservatives, by then, might reflect on marriage, note they did nothing.
Because who wants the hassle? It’s only marriage… Only the pillar of civilization. Only the linchpin of the family unit… Yeah, sure, they got what they wanted, but did it really affect us? Did anything change? “Love is love,” right?
Right… President AOC. 🤷🏻♀️🏳️🌈🤷🏾♀️
