    Good read.

    I’m not sure it’s possible to overstate how the left’s fetishization of race has poisoned our culture and created permanent divides. It’s among the most disappointing things I’ve witnessed over my lifetime, to see normal and decent folk get so unequivocally behind that bankrupt messaging.

    Driving Conservatives Underground

    By Fletch Daniels

    Cultural tyranny reigns in America, the last step before full-fledged political tyranny.

    Lurking beneath the surface of virtue signaling leftists are tyrants seeking to exert their will over those they despise. The defining leftist culture enables them to ruthlessly use all the power at their disposal, both real and imagined, to enforce a single acceptable viewpoint on society.

    In some geographic areas, this is more obvious than in others, but no area will ultimately be spared. This week, my wife volunteered during the Virginia Republican primary. As people came by the booth to get information on the candidates, she offered these Republican voters an opportunity to sign up for yard signs. Most whispered that they could never put something like that up in their neighborhood. That’s understandable. Unless a family is willing to stand guard 24/7 over their property, a Trump bumper sticker or sign here is a risky proposition at best.

    And so the Northern Virginia neighborhoods surrounding us are dotted with almost exclusively Democrat yard signs and the ubiquitous and unintentionally ironic “Hate has No Home Here” signs that literally blare that their home is a sanctuary of vile hatred and small-minded contempt.

    When people can’t put a bumper sticker for their preferred candidate on their car, they have suffered a loss of liberty. No Republicans who have paid even a little bit of attention expect the prevailing powers in Democrat areas to safeguard their property, or even their lives and liberty. The very reason for establishing a government has been upended. In this area, liberty-minded people almost operate like a secret society sending quiet signals to one another.

    Democrats in this country do not feel they need to hide their political allegiance or culturally approved viewpoints. Most never shut up about it, believing they are speaking truth to power, even as they bask in the approval of the corrupt and wicked power centers.

    Which is exactly why the polls, which have Biden leading, are absolute BULLSHIT.

    Much like the polls 4 years ago.

    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

      How dare you post something from American Thinker. I've been told here several times it's balderdash...

          Jon, when you post a twitter something, could you try leaving an empty line, then paste the link on the third line? Your link does not show, unless I quote your post, then I see it. Maybe leaving some blank line(s) will somehow make it appear.

            I’ll try that. Also I’ll try to just post a screen shot of it as well.

                  Yo mama, Aqua. So there. And yo mama's mama. Take That.(!)

                  Actually, uncle Bill updated my Windows 10 to the newest, greatest operating system in the known universe. And, once again, it screwed everything up. Printer won't print, there are no updated drivers for my HP LaserJet. The computer boots to an empty screen, nothing on the desktop for at least a minute. Then, everything appears at once, and Microsoft Word automatically opens to a blank document.

                  So (and I've gone through this many times), I roll back to the previous version, and everything works fine.

                  Yeah, yeah, I know, "buy a dopey Mackintosh."

                        @Rainman I've managed to change the tweet embedding such that there's no again a "Link to Tweet" link under each tweet. Even if a tweet doesn't show up, you should be able to click on that link.

                          I’m not sure I completely understand this?

                          It seems apt and brilliant but I want to get it completely.

                            I like to think I'm the girl on the right.

                            My interpretation of it is that anti-racism is a culture by white people for white people and is based on a fetishization of guilt. Which itself is based on the assumption of advantage, which closes the loop to White Supremacists. But that last part is extrapolation.

                            Education is extremely important.

                              Don’t miss the Domme/sub dynamic between the girls. It’s being forced down her throat, but the sub accepts it compliantly.

                                Actually I think we're getting absorbed by another one. We'll see what happens.

                                I work for a company that is a subsidiary of a Japanese company. Since Japan is a known racist culture, I am pretty comfortable that I won't have to read White Fragility any time soon.

                                  I'm pretty sure the Japanese don't see us roundeye as particularly fragile.
