Most of you have read me writing about this subject before. Today a comment section wrenched a little bit more out of me.
I was responding to this article: “They’re Threatening to Burn Down the Supreme Court – Police Left Area Before Announcement” – Marjorie Taylor Greene Outside Supreme Court Following Abortion Ruling (VIDEO)
The constitution only matters to liberals when it helps them hurt others
They are not liberals. What you just described proves that. Cultural Marxists hijacked the label "Liberal" when it had meaning. It was basically what the Libertarian party says with regard to social issues. Let people do what they want as long as it doesn't infringe upon my rights or my property. That does not describe the LEFT today. Those you refer to as liberal. The Marxists hid beneath the good will that word had until their actions tarnished it enough that people don't know their history and no longer know what the word means. They simply know what the Marxists/Leftists have done.
The left is not liberal. They are also not progressive. They are actually regressive as they push for failed ideas of the past and they seek to bring back segregation.
I make a big deal about this for one main reason. We think in words. If they attempt to hijack words and we go along with it then we cede mental territory to them. They actually change our thinking. We must not allow this. They don't have the authority to take words and in many cases tell us they are 100% the opposite of what they are.
Push back. I call them Leftists simply because there is no good word for them. I thus rely upon the Overton window.
With regard to the Overton window if you look for a true "liberal" you'll find them now lumped inside the Libertarian party and to some degree even within the GOP.
There is nothing Liberal about the people you are referring to. This is why many of us call them Leftists.
We don't want them to control our minds. We want our words to have meaning. We don't want history corrupted. If you tried to read older history and you saw the word Liberal your understanding of history would be corrupted because you have accepted the hijacked meaning which did not apply to those times in history.
Fight back. Words are powerful. There has been a world war for some time now. That war is predominantly being fought inside your mind.
