Has the Professional Left Silenced You? They Will if You Dare to Disagree

Conservatives vs ProgressivesDemocrats don’t know what they don’t know and they only have themselves to blame.

Why are so many Democrats shocked when a Republican is elected president? Because, as they themselves say, they “don’t know anyone” who voted for the Republican. The primary reason for this is the people in their life who voted for Donald Trump — professional colleagues, and even friends and relatives — are afraid to tell them.

Sadly, this treatment works in a much broader sense to advance liberal narratives and often promote progressive policies, especially at the local level “where get out the vote” means find ways to keep your opposition at home, so they win by default.

It is why State’s like New Hampshire suffer progressive local government and all the spending their selectman, councilors, and school boards can ham-fistedly cram through local elections. These affairs are so sparsely attended that even the unions can tell half their Democrat-registered foot-soldiers to stay home.

Town meeting could as easily be a tent pitched by a roaming progressive evangelist, the seats filled with true believers, and hardly anyone else.

Standing in opposition to the intimidating force of a party that will burn you and your life to the ground if they think you are a threat is one of those things most people will pass on. So they keep it to themselves.

They don’t speak up.

They choose not to support causes or candidates they believe in because if the financial evidence got out it, the Left might come after them.

And it all inherently violates what amounts to your right to free speech or association.

But the left doesn’t care as evidenced by their tolerance for intolerance. Behavior that runs the gauntlet from New Hampshire State Party Chairs calling voters white supremacists if they dare to associate with the opposing party, to politicians ignoring violence against people trying to speak about issues they oppose.

And as I’ve pointed out more times than I can count, being labelHispanic, labeled a woman, black, Hispanic, Gay, Transgender, single mom, teacher, working-class stiff, or anything else goes out the window if you do not toe the party line.

There are two reasons the left labels most conservatives and all Trump supporters “white supremacists,” “neo-Nazis” and “racists.” One is to defeat conservatives without having to defeat conservative ideas. The other is to instill fear: Speak out and you will suffer the consequences.

And they have the gall to walk around pretending they are the party that opposed H8?

It is becoming more and more common for leftist mobs to gather in front of a conservative’s home, scream epithets at the conservative’s family members and vandalize the home. Just last week, the Associated Press reported: “Protesters are targeting the northern Virginia home of the National Rifle Association’s top lobbyist … Chris Cox … as well as his wife’s nearby decorating business. … Libby Locke, a lawyer for the Cox family, said the vandalism included spraying fake blood and defacing the home with stickers.”

Progressive politics turns, spins, and stands on intimidation and violence to advance its goals. If more Americans would just recognize this as the basis for that feeling they get when they don’t think it wise to contribute to a political discussion (be it facially, verbally, fiscally, or any other way) but vote against that oppression every chance they get, they might find themselves with more breathing room.

The more the left loses them ore they who you who they are and that only plays well to a tiny minority of coastal elites and camp followers.

If you don’t show up and vote against them in the ballot box, where you still have some hope of expressing an opinion without becoming a target, they will win and use that power to enact laws to shut you up.

That includes the working class Democrats who aren’t nut-job left-wing domestic terrorists, but even they,

“…are either too afraid to confront the left or they don’t understand that the American left, not the American right, is the mortal enemy of liberalism.”

There is nothing progressive about progressivism. It is a backward-looking ideology that divides people by race and sex in contradiction to everything it preaches, chastising and intimidating anyone who dares to challenge them.

Which is exactly why you must. But if you can’t, privately vote them out of office every chance you get.
