Election 2020: All-In Leftism Must Become Extinct - Or We Will

Like everywhere else populated by humans, the United States has a zeitgeist:

“(T)he general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.”

The US zeitgeist has for many decades been rotting on the vine.  Because of its great and growing infestation by Leftism.

Leftism destroys everything.  And it is well on the way to destroying America.

The 2020 presidential contest between American re-revolutionary Donald Trump and Leftist DC lifer Joe Biden will determine whether or not the country again staves off the Left’s national coup de grace:

“(A) death blow or death shot administered to end the suffering of one mortally wounded; a decisive finishing blow, act, or event.”

Which is why the 2020 presidential election is such an existential event.  Even more so than 2016’s Flight 93 election.

Four years ago, the Left wasn’t sure Donald Trump meant business with his “Drain the Swamp” rhetoric.  Now they know he does.  So they have gone full-on, full-out nuts.

Black Lives Matter Riots Are Officially the Most Costly Manmade Damage to American Property in History

The Left has finally, once-and-for-all pulled out all the stops.  Gone is the relatively patient incrementalism that has served them so well the last half-century-plus.  Like Queen’s Freddie Mercury – they want it all, and they want it now.

Pack the Supreme Court?  Of course.  Add Leftist states to pack the Congress?  Of course.  End the Electoral College?  Of course.  End the Senate filibuster?  Of course.  End all real energy production?  Of course.  Destroy us with environmental radicalism?  Of course.  Jam us with trillions of dollars in additional taxes?  Of course.

And if they don’t win?  The most costly manmade damage in history – will be made to look like a parking ticket.

Cities Across U.S. Boarding Up in Anticipation of Election Night Riots

Left’s Point Person for Post-Election Violence Prep Linked to Arabella Advisors:

“The point person for the Fight Back Table, a coalition of liberal organizations planning for a ‘post-Election Day political apocalypse scenario,’ leads a progressive coalition that is part of a massive liberal dark money network….

“Fight Back Table’s efforts to prepare for ‘mass public unrest’ following the Nov. 3 election (is)…a project of Arabella Advisors’ Sixteen Thirty Fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund is a dark money network that provides wealthy donors anonymity as they push large sums into the left’s organizational efforts.

“The connections suggest that post-election mobilization isn’t just the project of a liberal fringe, but that powerful Democratic Party interest groups are also involved.”

The only civilized way to fight back against all this Leftist barbarity – is free speech and the free exchange of ideas.  Which is why our Founders ensconced in the Constitution free speech’s unfettered protection.

Except we have mostly outsourced our First Amendment rights to a gaggle of unelected Leftist Big Tech billionaires.  And they have been very busy eviscerating the rights of anyone not of the Left.

Trump is the Chief Executive of our government.  He isn’t silencing anyone.  However, Big Tech is silencing himAnd his Press Secretary.

Oh: And hundreds of thousands of websites and people who do not toe the Leftist line.

Facebook Hires Chinese Nationals to Censor Platform

Leftist Big Tech billionaires got to be billionaires – and their companies trillion-aires – via the biggest government cronyism in the history of government cronyism.  That would be Section 230:

“The law, passed in 1996, was designed to prevent internet companies from being treated as publishers and was done in part to allow the internet to flourish.

“It shields companies that can host trillions of messages, like Facebook and Twitter, from being sued by anyone who is wronged by something someone else has posted.

“Section 230 protections also allow social media platforms to moderate their content by removing posts that violate the services’ own standards, so long as they are acting in ‘good faith.’”

Except….

‘In Bad Faith’: Big Tech’s Growing Conservative Censorship

In defense of their mass cronyism and mass censorship, the Left absurdly asserts:

All About Section 230, a Rule that Made the Modern Internet

Except it didn’t make the modern Internet.  It made the modern Comment Section.  And Comment Sections are the Internet’s sewer.

Most Big Tech sites – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc – are nothing more than glorified Comment Sections.

Section 230 shielded Big Tech from the legal realities the rest of the Internet must face.  So they grew much huger than an actually free market would have ever allowed.

Here’s a thought exercise:

If the Web’s Comment’s Sections disappeared tomorrow – the Earth would not go careening out of its orbit and into the Sun.

In fact, most of the Web would be almost wholly unaffected.  While being made demonstrably better.

In addition to massively warping elections, these Big Tech trillion-dollar Comment Sections have contributed mightily to the evisceration of civil discourse and civilization.

How Social Media Is Ruining Society

“Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe.”  — Ayn Rand

Most timidly, non-Leftists have begun dipping their toes in the Section 230 water.

Section 230 – Mend It, Don’t End It

The problem?  Any attempt to affect change within the confines of Section 230 is rightly cited as a First Amendment violation.

Trump Section 230 Order Would Violate the First Amendment in the Name of Free Speech

So you can’t mend Section 230.  You have to end it.

Which is a great idea.  Ending government cronyism is always a great idea.

Big Tech is constantly, incessantly violating Section 230 anyway.

So it’s got to go.

Not satisfied with one massive dose of massive cronyism, Big Tech has for two decades pushed for another.  Behold Network Neutrality.

Which would outlaw Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from charging Big Tech for the MASSIVE bandwidth they use.  Which means we would pay MUCH more for our service – to subsidize the trillion-aire Big Tech companies.

Oh: Net Neutrality is also the government dictating what ISPs can and can not say.

How Net Neutrality Violates the First Amendment

Too Huge Big Tech got too huge via the massive government cronyism that is Section 230.

And defends its massive government cronyism by citing the First Amendment.

While demanding even more massive government cronyism via Net Neutrality.  Which would massively violate the First Amendment.

So we should have neither Section 230 nor Net Neutrality.

It is in Big Tech’s ultra-Leftist, massively warped, bigoted, biased un-free speech landscape – that we are attempting to conduct the most important presidential election in our nation’s history.

We have a LOT of un-Lefting to do.
