The left has got the formula down pat. Take a crisis and turn it into an opportunity to look like a hero. But what if there is no crisis? Well then, create one. Here are a few self-inflicted crises.
Domestic Terrorism – January 6th gave the left the opportunity to put half the country on notice that if they step out of line, there are serious consequences. Stifling speech and disarmament of citizens are the first two “corrections” they are employing to “restore Democracy”. While a single event where 200 people out of a crowd of tens of thousands caused a ruckus, may not be enough to overturn the Constitution, the left keeps poking the bear. Some examples are immigration (see below), “net neutrality”, efforts to shut down conservative media, continued lockdowns and failure to open up schools, removing cash bail putting criminals back on the street, and not prosecuting crimes. Rise up and this crisis demands more control.
Illegal immigration – The left likes to conflate legal and illegal immigration. They like to say conservatives are against immigration because we want a secure border and organized and legal entry into our country. We believe the USA cannot continue its welfare programs AND have open borders. Despite having drilled into us that death awaits us if we don’t don masks and hibernate, the left is welcoming thousands of persons crossing our southern border without nary a concern for who they are or what kind of health they are in. Once here, of course they will overwhelm our systems creating yet another problem to solve. The fix? More money for and expansion of the failed programs already in place. Biggest one is health care which will aid their march to “Medicare for All”.
Foreign Policy – Having the last four years with no new armed conflict was a watershed for our country. That cannot continue as the military industrial complex needs a bogey man to warrant the expense and politicians need to look “strong” protecting our country. So, we re-engage with Iran after they continue to lie about their nuclear and international terrorism aims. Once they get the bomb, and it won’t be too soon, another crisis to address. The cash cow known to the left as China, will continue to be coddled because major corporations have too much invested there, and when they finish eating our lunch and go after our dinner, the problem will need addressing. Ride in left saviors but on what horse; capitulation or war?
Energy – After instituting an entire cabinet level department for the single goal of energy independence, the left is throwing it away. They‘re creating another narrative that we will all die in 12 years if we don’t stop farting and driving gas vehicles. Forget the foreign policy advantages of energy independence and just look at the savings for both consumers and the government. The left has abandoned that on the “science” that we are doomed because we have 180 years of weather records that show we are warming? Cooling? Not sure what we are chasing these days. Mandated blackouts and the like are on the horizon and for these you will get to pay more for gas, heating and electricity as the shift to unreliable renewable energy is foisted on us.
Systemic Racism –Not sure how Obama or some of the millions of people of color who now live in prosperity snuck through the system. Enough said on this one but the usurpation of our Constitution by favoring one race over another began in 1964 and is ramping up.
HR1 – The “For the People” bill that will cement the left’s hold on the federal government through convoluted election rules that codify avenues of fraud including expanded election dates, mail in voting, ballot harvesting, and lax verification of citizen identification.
These are just a few of the crises that are being fomented so the “knights on white horses” can come in and save us. Thank goodness we have the pattern down pat so we can better prepare.
