It’s clear to me that the frogs in the heating pot are oblivious to their fate. The Progressive movement with deep roots in Marxism, co-opted the public education system. This gave them access to the thoughts and opinions of the population. With a complicit elitist media, it allowed them to indoctrinate us starting by pivoting from Judeo-Christian values, replacing love of our Creator with love of the state. Their rejection of the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence set their course along the lines of Marxism on which they run.
They are now on the second phase of the transition to totalitarianism; dissolution of the family. They have been successful in the total breakdown of the black community where fatherless households are the majority. Now we see the precipitous drop in marriage rates in the rest of the population and commensurately, the drop in birthrates. The Democrat party now fully in control of the Progressives, has installed policies that assure the continued breakdown of the family. Day care subsidies allow the indoctrination of children ever earlier in their education. Providing food through WIC, Head Start, school breakfast and lunches further separates the child from the parent(s). Add after school programs and you have morning to night control of your children. Tax policies favor working adults that cement the opportunities for the state to gain and maintain control over your child. Indeed, they have already introduced “ratting” on your parent during the Covid pandemic.
With every one of life’s slight, people are increasingly turning to the state for relief. Need more money? Scream for a “living wage”. Need cheaper housing? Rent control is the answer. I have to be able to get to work. How about a subsidized EV? Better yet, public transportation where the state controls where and when you go. For the Progressive, there is a “right” for every slight. (See FDR’s “Economic Bill of Rights” for what’s next.)
The ultimate control is your body. The Progressive mindset is the state knows best on how to distribute limited health care. While they would rail at this depiction of their intent, it is the last frontier for them. The “right” to universal health care that began with Obamacare, will eventually fully corral the population. Your ability to take care of yourself will be regulated as the state determines who gets what treatments and when. (See Canada, UK, Italy etc.) Already they are adulterating the Hippocratic oath by insisting on “equitable” distribution of health care. There will be no other means of treatment short of Christian Science, once they eliminate all other avenues of attending to your health.
Dire prediction? You bet. But as you watch and listen to the electorate and the pundits that embrace the movement left, one has to think that we have taken a large slide back to being at the mercy of a controlling monolith. God help us for we know not what we do.
