Everything is going to be okay.
We promise. Just take this amazing election season for instance. The Democrats have two stellar candidates vying gallantly for our party’s nomination: A woman with more political experience and prowess than any other presidential candidate in history, and a far Left Socialist who has ignited the passions of young people.
This alone is revolutionary. This is liberalism! Not to mention the not too distant rulings on Obamacare and Marriage Equality last summer. (Even before the death of Antonin Scalia.)
We also had “Black Lives Matter” becoming a national movement, the final negotiations of the Iran Deal, and the coming down of the Confederate Flag. Does this not more than prove we are truly soaring toward an even brighter Liberal future?
Yes, it does!
We are so close… and now we are even on the verge of our first female President of the United States of America: A Hillary Clinton Presidency. You see, we Progressives are the future… SO LET THERE BE LIGHT!
This rant is for all the amazing Liberals who have worked so tirelessly for equality as well as quality of life for ALL Americans. Humanity is winning. Liberalism will always be the cure. The Right is in retreat.
This is especially true for all our Blue Brothers and Sisters living in the Red States. Just think, now 8.7 million of them can keep the healthcare they deserve. The Lefties were finally able to explain to the Right and those in our Supreme Court, the only way our country can move forward is through inclusion, fairness and judicial clarity. Every one of us in every State, can now marry the person we love.
These are the kinds of things which send us toward our future of a brighter tomorrow. Keep up the good fight. We still have much work ahead of us in healing both our corroded planet and the corrupted mindsets still inhabiting her.
Just remember, no matter what the revisionist historians try to spit down your throat, Progressives have always won. Always!
Now I know it’s not been easy, and it has not always been this quick. But in the end WE ALWAYS WIN: Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Affordable Healthcare, Marriage Equality, Americans Disability Act, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion/Separation of Church & State, Right to Due Process, Freedom of the Press, Right to Organize & Protest — the list goes on and on. (An extensive list of Liberal Accomplishments is included below the “We Are From The Future” video at the bottom)
You see, our past has proven that Liberals have always been on the correct side of history – not the right side, the side that lifts, inspires, course corrects, heals, and recognizes what truly matters! The Right has always been proven wrong, because ideologically and fundamentally, they are working from a corrupted mindset.
It’s not their fault either — they have been skewed by sensationalism disguised as news, angry talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter spewing hate, bigotry and bile, and sociopathic politicians like Donald Trump pretending to be Patriots, but are in truth, nothing more than hollow-souled ‘Hatriots’.
Conservatives see these dark vessels of charismatic discord as Godly.
I know we have a difficult time empathizing with folks who are calibrated with such caustic natures, but as we are Liberals, we have built in mechanisms to do just that. Somehow, somewhere, something deep inside the brain of these beings on the Right got mis-wired; thus sparking a fractured and fraudulent perception of goodness, beauty, and love.
They are out of balance with an expanding universe — but the way they unfold thought, just like the fundamental religious fanatics, we hear so much about in the Middle East, is a universal archetype of what scary movies are made of. They are in the holiest truth, out of alignment with Jesus. They revise the meaning of his words to suit their discordance.
While we hear a song, they hear chaos. While we see a rainbow, they see a storm. While we feel compassion, they are not touched. We hug, they recoil.
It’s because they live in a fear of their own making.
They are afraid. And fear is very powerful. How many times have you been frozen in place because you were utterly terrified? It stops you dead in your tracks doesn’t it? Even the idea of moving a single muscle sends a shiver up your spine.
It’s the same thing with those on the Right. To these people, change is terrifying, because it makes them feel as if they are going to disappear. It’s a survival mechanism, kicking in erroneously because they think they’re going to die if they move forward. It’s no different than an on/off switch hung upside-down.
They really are not to blame — even they can’t help themselves.
These radicalized Christians on the Right have a very bad case of cognitive dissonance. It’s a simple misfiring of the mind due to being blind to that which is kind. And it causes a 180° turnabout from reality – that’s how powerful being afraid of something truly is.
It causes that person, that community, to cut not just their nose off, but fractures the psyche completely in half. This disfigurement is only visible from someone on the outside looking in. They cannot see this deformity themselves, that’s what makes the situation so sad and so disgusting. We need to love these people and show them through our compassion, empathy, and patience, what the real light looks like.
