The WaPo knows this, and is trying to salvage the secret campaign to turn the country socialist using the boiling frog technique.

I have lived in California for 53 years and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let the left push me out. There are still some people who are willing to fight. A good example is the recently appointed United States attorney for Los Angeles, Bill Essayli. He has been prosecuting some of the blatant corruption in California government. Another good example is President Trump calling in the National Guard when the Los Angeles police were overwhelmed. Another good example is a Korean storekeeper who followed the example of his fellow storekeepers in the 1992 Los Angeles riots. He armed himself and protected his property.
We need to find organizations who will not give up. I send a lot of donations to reformcalifornia.org. Investigate them and send them money if you like what they are doing.

If only that wasn’t a typo

The reason the country gave the illusion of unity immediately after 911 was that it happened in NYT, and so the elite power and media class felt personally threatened. As soon as that faded, they flipped back to siding with the enemy again, because they felt safe in doing so.

What did Democrats expect?

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that many, many rank-and-file ‘progressives’ simply take modern Western freedoms, liberties, and security for granted. They don’t understand how it happens, why it works, or how fundamentally unnatural those things are. So they just assume you can change anything you want, push any policy that suits your desires or immediate needs, and of course nothing else will change.

So having someone like Mamdani about to be mayor throws them for a loop.

Likewise those gays like Sullivan, who appear to be genuinely shocked and surprised that the avalanche didn’t stop with their one change. What they wanted was to be both gay and ‘normal’, culturally. They thought this was on offer, and so they backed the trojan horse of gay ‘marriage’.

Why would they believe something so transparently nonsensical? Because they wanted it so desperately. I’m not sure most straights can fully grasp this. They craved acceptance and normalization, and in common with many social lefties, they didn’t understand that the only way that could happen would be to rewire ‘normal’ into something else. Which made them natural suckers for the activists who were using them to push their own agenda.

Should they have known better? In principle, probably. But it’s like the old line that ‘the husband/wife is the last to know’ about the affair. That’s often true because the husband/wife often desperately doesn’t want it to be true, and so blinds themselves to it because the alternative is so very unpleasant.

Same thing with lefties shocked that many Muslims aren’t open to the gay agenda. They took it for granted that they would be. Of course they would be. That’s just ‘normal’. The default. Only the Right thinks otherwise. Then when reality smacks them in the face they’re shocked and mystified.

If it comes down to a hard choice, of course, the core lefty activists will choose the Muslims over the gays. If they can’t finesse it, they’ll end up telling the gays to get back in the closet, stop expecting their ‘marriages’ to be acknowledged by Muslims, and shut up.
