The outstanding feature of the Democrat Party is how well it mirrors the descent of the culture. Check that -- Democrats don’t just mirror our rotting culture, they’re leading the race off the cliff. That’s what progressivism -- the Democrats’ defining worldview -- does: it daily leads a once godly and moral nation toward a Grand Canyon-sized hole. Sometimes in tiny steps, other times in sprints. Lately, it’s a sprint.
Progressivism is a catchall for modern decadence -- rationalized, deemed fashionable, and pimped by elites. Democrats have become updated versions of debauched Roman emperor Caligula and his court.
The list of debaucheries Democrats’ champion is long. They offer a dark, vulgar, inverted world: Criminals are victims, and victims are disregarded. Democrat-run cities teem with hoodlums and worse. Cities are becoming illicit drug sanctuaries. The homeless (mentally and emotionally disturbed, drug and/or alcohol addicted) roam streets like extras from the Walking Dead. Abortion is no longer about being “legal, safe, and rare.” It’s naked infanticide. Institutional corruption appears endemic (the FBI, DoJ, and much of corporate America, for example). Decades-old sexual permissiveness was the gateway to today’s spreading sexual perversion.
Take the openly lesbian Michigan attorney general, Dana Nessel. No one would give a fig about her sexual preference but for a comment she made.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel reportedly said Wednesday that "drag queens make everything better" and that there should be "a drag queen for every school" during an event in Lansing.
Later, Nessel backtracked, claiming “she was only joking.” But it’s an odd joke, given the very public storm raised recently about efforts to sexually indoctrinate (“groom”) kids, starting in preschool and kindergarten. Hence, we’ll say that Nessel is just trying to weasel out of her offhand endorsement of staging degenerate spectacles for children.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis has a decidedly different take than Nessel’s.
Blaze Media, June 10:
As well DeSantis should -- along with every other governor and legislature who prioritize children’s welfare. Educators who expose students, and parents who permit their kids to be exposed, to this trash should be charged with reckless endangerment. School administrators and teachers promoting any form of sexual indoctrination of children should be fired and pensions and benefits stripped. Parents who consent to their children’s participation in any debauchment should face having their kids removed from their custody.
Despite modern conceits, human nature hasn’t changed since Caligula -- far longer, actually. Yes, we moderns possess more knowledge about the world, given the accretion of knowledge over time, and should learn from history, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of our ancestors. But the lure of base instinct among influential cohorts in modern America is proving stronger than knowledge and reason. Moral probity is a choice.
Alas, there’s no vaccine against the Seven Deadly Sins, though Klaus Schwab -- and a mini-me like Anthony Fauci -- surely harbors the conceit that one can be produced -- or a merger of machines and humans can eliminate all sin. Then again, in today’s twisted culture, the Seven Deadly Sins are celebrated in popular culture. Hedonism is regent.
The fall of America -- if it ever occurs -- won’t come first from terrible government. Biden is a decrepit man -- a liar and notoriously incompetent from his earliest days in politics. Aside from Biden’s serial lies, he’s also corrupted, perhaps criminally so. He’s fronting a cabal whose leftist policies and governance are badly injuring citizens.
The Democrats vs. Morality
