I’ll try to keep this short, but it’s important so I felt compelled to post. I’m not a doom and gloom kind of person. But just wanted to kind of put something on your radar. Now, I’m starting to see a lot of very smart folks suddenly taken aback by the huge number of people celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Yes, it a lot of people. And it’s deeply troubling. It should be very, very troubling! I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. These are just the people who are posting about it online. There are probably way more we haven’t heard from. I can guarantee it. But wait! It gets more worrisome! The people posting videos are really just the crazy canary in the American coalmine.
What I want people to think about is something I’ve been talking about on The Loftus Party Podcast: The staggering number of ‘woke’ people! We’re looking a generations of Americans who have gone through the public school system. Now couple that with the number of people who have just given up on the American dream, are now ‘woke’ and don’t think socialism/communism is such a bad idea. Hell, they love the idea! And they have no problem with people they disagree with being killed! I believe the numbers are way bigger than most people realize.
And for places like NYC, that means they will most likely have a socialist Mayor in the near future.
We can take some solace that a few DEI programs have been shut down, and certain woke companies are reconsidering logos… but we have a real challenge now. Elections and number of voters. In a republic like ours, it’s still a numbers game when it comes to votes. To paraphrase Obama: “Whoever get the most votes gets to do what they want”. That’s the long and the short of it. How many votes.
Yes, getting rid of mail in ballots and cleaning up the voter rolls, and all that stuff needs to happen. However, do not be surprised at the number of people embracing socialism and celebrating murder. We have 3 generations of people who have come up through woke public education. Multi-generational woke. And with inflation and wages that don’t outpace that inflation, and a job marker loaded with tens of millions of illegals, they have a legit beef!
We all, as Americans have been thrown under the bus by the political class. They just keep spending. They just keep taxing us. They convince our kids they need college and then sign them up for becoming indentured servants through criminal student loan contracts. They are relentless and show no signs of stopping. That is a recipe for hopelessness.
When you look around and see such a bleak future? Crazy shit doesn’t sound too crazy anymore. We need some real change in this country. Fast. And for the love of all that’s holy, participate in local elections! Thanks for your attention to this matter.
I’ve been doing a lot of comments on your site lately but this one is the hardest. Still gutted from Charlie Kirk’s death, I knew these rancid videos were coming. Just seeing the faces of these ghouls without even clicking on the videos made my blood boil. Many people are now losing their jobs due to their posts and they should. But the underlying reality is,like you posted, there are many,many more like cockroaches under the fridge waiting for the light to go out. It is the decay of our society ,led by the leftist takeover of our schools,churches and culture that has led to college age kids thinking it’s right to murder an influential conservative or the leader of our country just because they don’t like their views. It’s very Manchurian Candidate esque. I’m hoping we can turn the tide before it’s too late. A very powerful article Michael. Well done.
You’re fantastic. And I’m super happy that you’re here. Building communities and being aware of the underlying problems we face is a HUGE part of the solution. Let’s keep going! Woohoo! And thank you!
