In a blogpost at American Thinker Leesa K. Donner delineates a military rebellion against political correctness at the Army-Navy football game.

This would never have happened without Donald Trump's victory, a victory carried on the backs of disgust for political correctness and the endless leftist attempts to fundamentally transform America. What it illustrates quite plainly is that America has a natural channel, much like a river, and the Left may be able to control the flow by virtue of extreme labor, but the natural tendency is against them.

Think of a river; it has a channel and flows along that route to the sea. Now along come the social engineers - say, the Army Corpse of Social Engineers in this case, since the military is the proving ground for the Left's daft ideology - and they erect dams and levees and floodwalls and all the accutrements needed to control the river. That river is America herself, the heart and soul of a free and proud nation. The liberals who run things control that river through their domination of the means of dissemination of information, the news media, the schools and institutions of higher learning, the entertainment industry. The erect walls to hold back the patriotism, the moral clarity, the sense of duty to God and Country, the self-reliance. They do this by constantly reinforcing juvenile memes they have created to change the way we think. These are levees and floodwalls of the mind. They tell us crazy things, like men who dress as little girls can fight on the battlefield against true killers, and we are obliged to act as though we believe them or face a terrible retribution. All of their sacred cows are milked in this same fashion, whether it be gay marriage or the absolute physical equality of men and women (in movies 100 lb. women can beat up 220 lb. men easily) or notions that police are hunting poor black children because they hate them for their race or what have you. The left spins fantasies and nobody dare point to the imperial nudity lest they be punished.

This has gone on for a long, long, time, and it has not been limited to periods when the Democrats have been in power. The GOP Establishment is happy to sandbag the leveee walls as well.

Donald Trump, whether one likes him or not, campaigned on the banks of the river and not on top of the dam. He's carved a fissure in the floodwall, and the river of the American spirit is now starting to flow back onto it's natural course.

Which is why the left has been so panicked; they know in their hearts the nation they have created is artificial and will soon shatter under the weight of that flood. Their hope was that by making this alternate reality and maintaining it long enough the young people would grow to believe it, and it would become the new reality. It is little different from the moonbeam hippie who has a "visualize world peace" bumper sticker; the left believes that one can click heels together three times and say "there's no place like home" and viola! They key, in their view, is to maintain the fiction long enoough for it to become the reality.

And that is the key to the left; they are their own gods, the self-willed Supermen (or is it Superperson now?) of Nietzche. Reality is not something that won't go away, just something that may be difficult to change. It is a matter of Will to change it, in their view. Eternal vigilance is the price of godhood, to the liberals; being a god means endless labor to maintain your particular reality.

But it is as phony as the Indian Rope Trick, an illusion, a sleight-of-hand, maintained by the endless repitition of liberal media and professors and celebrities. In the end they don't really pull a quarter out of your ear.

Liberalism is nothing but a magic act. They use deception and tricks to create and reinforce their levee system. One good crack in it and the waters rush forth.

I think this Army-Navy football game behavior illustrates this perfectly.
