Came across one of those Right (ish) Never Trump accounts on the website formerly known as Twitter (X); from this account I usually get the moderate-Conservative drivel but this one was different. It was a bald assertion that in a vote between Trump and Biden, this person would choose Biden as the decent alternative. It really rather flabbergasted me – got me thinking: are there any of the Old Right people who have the least sense of what is decent?
Leave aside Biden’s creepiness and personal immorality – pretend that doesn’t exist. You’re still left with a man – and a Party – 100% committed to federally funded abortion on demand to birth, to the medical transition of minors, to an open border which is the new slave trade, to keeping up the war in Ukraine which has already cost at least a few hundred thousand lives…this is decent? In what freaking universe is this decent?
This has got me thinking that people do not realize what we’re dealing with in the Democrats, in the overall Liberal/Left world – and not just the political leadership; even rank and file Democrats. By the time you get to the point where you’re opposed to banning third trimester abortions (which most of the world does) and surgically/chemically altering children, there is no decency left inside you. Oh, on the outside there might be: in other words, the person might be well dressed, well spoken…even polite. But the evil at the core of their being is what is decisive. You can’t have the least regard for human decency if you’re in any way ok with aborting a child 8 months into a pregnancy or think that blocking puberty – the normal development of the human body! – is a good idea. You are – and I’m not at all exaggerating here – on the same level as Germans loading up the trains for Auschwitz or Russians watching human beings herded into Gulag. There is no decency left at that point: that person is participating – in first or second degree – in actions we Catholics call “objectively evil”.
I know the immediate reaction of most to such a thing is to try to explain it away. Most of us, most of the time, are afraid to call it out. Fearful, that is, that we’ll have our own faults exposed. That we might turn the spotlight of evil on ourselves. It is how, especially over the last century, so many people have essentially gotten away with it – gotten away with monstrous crimes. The clearest example of this is the Germans of WWII. To a lesser extent the Russians in the aftermath of the fall of communism. Everyone had their excuses and their claims of ignorance. But, guys, someone typed up the train schedules to Auschwitz. The ladies in the typing pool at the Lubyanka were busy day in and day out typing up the decrees of the OSO sending people off to slave labor for stealing a spool of thread. They all knew; they all participated. That liberal aunt you’ve got who is oh, so sweet: she’s in on it, too. She’s just as evil as any of them. She might pretend to not know, but she does…or if she really doesn’t know, it is because she deliberately strives not to know, because she prefers the profit she makes off the current system to any sense of human decency. What I’m saying is: don’t excuse it. Recognize it. Condemn it. Call it out.
Which is what I did with that comment about Biden being the decent alternative. It was highly liberating for me to do that – knowing that the following of that person would be gravely offended by what I said, but only because they share the guilt. And, who knows?, maybe my comment will be part of the process which wakes people up? But the alarm can’t wake anyone up until it is sounded…and it is way past time for us to sound it.
Because it isn’t that the Liberals are mistaken in their means to a good end. They don’t want a good end. They want an evil end. They want a world where people can be punished for thinking or saying the “wrong” things. A world where privileges are passed out based on connections and credentials. A world where they are spared the guilt which comes from seeing people who live morally correct lives. And the Liberals will do anything to get their way. Remember, these are people who are ok with chopping off healthy body parts from a youngster. People who are willing to do that – or even just willing to tolerate that – have no sense of morality which would prevent them from doing – or tolerating – untold, inhuman horrors done against you.
The first step of solving any problem is to admit you’ve got one. And our problem is that the Left (Democrats, Liberals, whatever you want to call them collectively) are evil – they want bad things because they are bad people who like bad things. We must get into the habit of routinely condemning Left actions out of hand as immoral. Don’t debate them on it. There’s no argument here. What they want is wrong. The only correct action is to stop them. And do keep in mind that they very much view us as in the wrong – and unworthy of debate and their only desire is to stop us. You’re not being unfair here: you’re just fighting back.
