Before participating in a battle, it is best to understand the type of monster you are fighting. With its use of mob violence, censorship, propaganda, and even criminal prosecution, it is easy to imagine the left as a unified giant of oppression. it’s not. A thin skin of vindictive Marxist rhetoric has been smeared across the coalition, giving the appearance of a solid front, but in reality progressives are a snarl of contradictory interests unified by a hatred of America. This is a group of people.
This distinction is important because it fundamentally changes the tactics that can be considered when engaging in combat, and make no mistake: We are in a battle for the future of our nation. The Progressive Coalition is powerful, but it contains many critical fault lines, and a proper understanding of this enemy could help deliver a decisive blow at a critical moment.
The left truly believes that conservatives are an existential threat and that progressives have a moral obligation to govern and punish red America.
If you think of your enemy as an all-powerful and all-knowing Leviathan capable of crushing all opposition, you can easily become demoralized and paralyzed by inaction. Conservatives and right-wingers need to recognize the full scope of the forces organizing against them, but only to increase urgency and muster courage.
Due to the growing awareness of the deep state and the fact that large parts of America’s ruling class are organized against the interests of the people they govern, the left is seen as a highly coordinated monolithic force Tend. It is a grave mistake to attribute unified intentions and strategies to mass coalitions. It gives the illusion that you’re playing chess with one grand champion, when in reality you’re playing against a loose but powerful oligarchy herding increasingly ferocious cattle.
The deep contradictions at the heart of progressive coalitions often baffle conservatives. Trans activists work with African American and Muslim communities who are disgusted by their lifestyles. Marxist radicals instigate an economic revolution, but end up supporting woke multinational corporations. Liberal pro-Israel Jewish donors are funding the same political movement, including Palestinian activists chanting “From the River to the Sea” across college campuses.
These groups, which in other circumstances would be fighting to the death, somehow find a way to work together and control public opinion.
Many on the right try to explain this strange phenomenon by attributing it to the spread of postmodern neo-Marxist ideas on the left. This is attractive because many on the left explicitly embrace the language of Marxism, or apply an “oppressed and oppressor” framework to their assessment of all social ills. To some extent, I think it is no exaggeration to say that Marxist ideology has become a superstructure that gives a certain degree of coherence to the leftist coalition, but ultimately this is the decision of “Palestinian queers” to support a Palestinian group. It is not a factor. People who can kill you in an instant.
naked desire for power
At its core, the left is a movement unified by hatred of average red-state Americans. This man, an evangelical Christian who runs a small business in the countryside and has a wife and children, is the most evil thing progressives can imagine. Although each faction within the leftist coalition has its own interests and grievances, they are united by the fact that they most deeply despise red America and blame it for everything that is wrong with this country. This is why the left seems comfortable with quickly discarding and adopting contradictory narratives.
After all, the left is united by a naked desire for power and revenge, and its power is to dismantle the civilization built by previous generations of Americans, dismantling the spoils to a diverse clientele that serves the progressive movement. It comes from distributing to.
In other circumstances, the various factions within the left would tear each other apart, but their hostility is tempered by a general fear and hatred of conservative America.
There’s a reason why universities, corporations, and even the U.S. military view “whiteness” as an evil that should be suppressed or banished from public life. Many members of the Progressive Coalition are white, of course, but they consider themselves “one of the good guys,” an ally against the deplorables and bitter obsessives who wear MAGA hats and attend church on Sundays. We believe that this is the case.
Although it may seem rough due to the meek resistance of the Republican Party, the left truly believes that conservatives are an existential threat and that progressives have a moral obligation to govern and punish red America.
Hatred and fear are powerful motivators, but they cannot forever obscure the serious fault lines in the progressive coalition.
The left-wing civil war over Israel and Palestine that erupted on college campuses during an election year shows how quickly opposing factions can turn on each other when there is no common enemy to fight. The right should be mindful of these hostile divisions and look to exacerbate them at every opportunity.
Conservatives also need to know when to step out of the way and pit opposing factions against each other, rather than coming to the rescue by providing a common symbol that the left can rally around. It’s highly unlikely that any of these groups will suddenly flip and start voting Republican, but it’s always a good tactic to create confusion in the opposing camp during a critical election year.
The current mission of conservatives
The hatred shared by the various factions within the Progressive Coalition can galvanize them into an overbearing force, but the right has never given up on the fact that these factions have completely different interests and goals. Don’t be blind.
Conservatives should also avoid the temptation to over-intellectualize the motivations of a movement driven solely by resentment and a desire for power. The left can only act as a force of hate and dismantling, which means it has nothing to offer other than the ruined ruins of the civilization that progressives seek to destroy.
As progressives have made it clear what they hate and what they are looking to dismantle, conservatives have also made it clear what they love and what they are looking to build, and are taking every opportunity to do so. should expose and exacerbate factional rifts within the left coalition.
