Cultural Appropriation At Election Time

[PoliticalChic]

Gee….must be election time, and just as groundhogs come out in anticipation of spring, the atheists of the Left suddenly find religion at election time.



1. Remember when all the Leftists found the term 'gravitas' useful? Well.....here's their latest.
The last few week have seen a sudden blossoming of a key word by the Democrats/Progressives, referring to any supporters of Trump as members of a “cult,” a term vaguely associated with religion, at least in a pejorative connection.

It brought to mind my Rule #2…To know what the Left is guilty of, just watch what they blame the other side for doing.

The rule is easily proven with the reminder that the same folks all referred to Hussein Obama as god, Jesus and the messiah. All have seen how laughable that has proven to be.



2. Well….they do have a religion of their own….Militant Secularism….alternatively described thus:

“ There are so very many points of similarity between contemporary Leftism, and that of the Soviet Bolsheviks, that it is impossible to dismiss the family relationship.
The subject of Democrats/Liberals claims to be the party of science is actually a variation on the communist rejection of religion. Essentially, they replaced the religion of Western Civilization with their own version of religion, Marxism.
“Many educated people claim to not be “religious,” saying instead that they put their “belief” in science, and speak as though science replaces religion, which represents humanity’s mythic and irrational need for certainty. But under psychological stress, the quasi-religiosity of so much of that scientific belief emerges.
When we say (as some do) that we are science-trusting, and act as though “science says” some univocal truth, which can be revealed, on demand, we show that we are really only transferring the quest for certainty from religion to science.” Science Says

And, Democrats/Progressives do the same with politics….their religion.




3. Anyway, it’s time for them to suddenly misappropriate the religious faith of real Americans, and so they have. This weekend, their public relations arm, the Washington Post, had this headline about their choice for vice president:

“Kamala Harris is more than her gender and race. She is also the future of American religion.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/kamala-harris-is-more-than-her-gender-and-race-she-is-also-the-future-of-american-religion/2020/08/14/4b44c7d6-ddc6-11ea-8051-d5f887d73381_story.html

It's that time, .....time to deify, or at least beatify, another Marxist…er, Democrat.

“…Harris, the 55-year-old junior senator from California, has other advantages in the 2020 presidential race. She embodies the future of American religion: In a time of expanding religious pluralism, the country’s younger generation, many of them children and grandchildren of immigrants, will recognize in Harris a kind of multifaith and spiritual belonging unfamiliar to the mostly White Christian majority of past decades….both Christian and Hindu religious practices.”
Ibid.




But wait….we’ve heard this joke before:

For Kamala Harris, and all Democrat, there is only one 'religion'.....Militant Secularism.

Tucker Carlson Suggests the Democrat Party is a Cult, Blasts ‘Fervent Religious Fanatics’ on the Left: ‘Michelle Obama is Their L. Ron Hubbard’


‘Michelle Obama Is Their L Ron Hubbard’: Tucker Carlson Criticizes ‘Fervent Religious Fanatics’ On The Left
“You probably still think of the left as secular but not anymore,” he concluded. “They are fervent religious fanatics. Michelle Obama is their L. Ron Hubbard. Everything she does is good by definition. She’s the most beautiful, the smartest, the wisest. If Michelle Obama played golf she would shoot an 18 every time. In the words of Van Jones, her speech last night was ‘extraordinary.’ Even though as you know if you saw it, it was exactly the opposite of that. The speech was ordinary. It was totally pedestrian like almost everything Michelle Obama says. But you can’t admit that. You’ve got to pretend that she’s Aristotle. That’s the law.”

Here's one of my Rules…To know what the PoliticalChic is guilty of, just watch what she blames the other side for doing.

The term cult here is most likely a reference to a cult of personality:

A cult of personality, or cult of the leader,[1] arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual – uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.​

Now who does that sound like?

Mental health professional Steven Hassan, the author of the book The Cult of Trump, was one of the first to describe the methods of mind control in destructive groups in his 1988 book, Combating Cult Mind Control.

He told Byline Times that the US President displays the features of a typical cult leader – malignant narcissism; egocentrism; a tendency to believe in his own greatness and to exaggerate his talents and achievements; constant fantasies of his own success power, and attractiveness; excessive self-admiration combined with a lack of empathy; envy, a tendency to sadism; anti-social behaviour and lying.

“Of course, self-admiration is a feature of many politicians and public figures,” he says. “But there is an even more dangerous kind of narcissism, one defined by a darker and more destructive pattern. It is fittingly called ‘malignant narcissism’ and arises when narcissism combines with other psychopathological traits. According to researchers, political leaders such as Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un exhibit malignant narcissism.”
