1. I believe that the Leftists/Liberals/Progressives/Democrats will, ultimately, be successful for the destruction of this great experiment in self-governance.
The control the sources of dissemination of information....the schools, the media, the entertainment industry, and will be able to hide and deny the truth of what is happening, and why.
They've been nearly 100% successful in marginalizing and silencing anything related to religion and morality.
And those of us who light the candle of rectitude have.....limited....success.
But of great interest is those who are of the Left who speak the truth, and this week, Leftist editor of the NYTimes, Bari Weiss, in her letter of resignation from same, said what many of us on the Right have bemoaned for decades.

2. "It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from The New York Times.
I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home.
3. The paper’s failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn’t have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.[Meaning, make certain that the Right winning doesn't happen again.]
4. But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. [The Liberal media sees its function as dictating what Americans must believe: neo-Marxism.]
5. Twitter [the Far Left] is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences [the Far Left radicals], rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative. [Journalism should be to provide the truth, and allow readers to make up their own minds. No longer.]
[Ms Weiss states exactly what we on the Right have claimed about the behavior of the Fascist Democrat Liberal Left:]
6. My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.
There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong."

Any who continue to vote Democrat support and empower the behaviors and attitudes spot lit by Ms Weiss.....that of Fascists and totalitarians.
