I think Obama was a symptom, not a cause. And I also would argue it's the news media pulling the strings, not the political establishment, so they are the ones to blame. Why has America become so divided? Because the news media, seeing their power slip away with changes in technology, became desperate to maintain their privileged position. So they are the ones who have ramped all this stuff up. They are the ones who gave Obama a platform, who hid his faults in an orgy of celebration. In the end it is the media who has embittered America.
Media delende est! As long as we have a hostile, anti-American news media controlling the dissemination of information and setting the tone for our national conversation we will continue to slide from a Cold to a Hot civil war.
Jack Kemp adds:
Of course the Left tried this at the Wellstone Memorial when
Wellstone's son screamed like a kid at a high school football pep rally. But
Wellstone's son did not have the cultural impact of a President of the United
States like Obama.
Fay Voshell adds:
I think there are several factors. First,
anti-white sentiment has moved for "privileged" white males to include the
entire white race. Second, intersectionality, with its divisions into oppressor
and oppressed, who are ranked according to victimhood has shifted to transgender
revolutionaries, who see women as a group far less aggrieved than the trans
community. So now the trans community see radical feminists, many of whom are
white women, as an empowered class that needs to be ousted in order the new
victimology reigns supreme.
The eradication of white women from positions
of power is just a first step in establishing trans ascendancy, which is not
about victimization in the long run. It is about the complete transformation of
Western institutions, including the church. Let's not forget the rise of the
LGBT movement within the Catholic and other churches includes the letter "T."
All the ills attendant to the LGBT movement within the churches will be
magnified as the trans movement adds its ideological demands to those of the
homosexual communities within the church.
It all is part of the new authoritarianism
buttressed by a radical view of class, race and ultimately, morality. It's a
combined effort to overthrow the foundations of Western civilization.
