It would be hard to miss the growing list of things that need to be controlled by the government so we simple folk don’t hurt ourselves or destroy the planet. In fact, there is a long list of demands to improve America. What all these schemes have in common is they are about using our government to make all Americans live the way some Americans, and an annoying Swedish girl, think they should.
The Wokescolds have been very vocal and very busy, but one can detect that they are turning people off with their overheated theatrics. Often, they wreck the lives of people on the edges of scandal. We hear stories of the powerful and the famous who cannot live up to the standards they would mercilessly inflict on the rest of us.
This is proof that the truth will come out.
I propose that what we must do is to offer a home to people in transition from loony leftist to honest citizen and even to respected patriot. Just as in the antebellum south the Under Ground Railroad helped former slaves on the road to freedom, we must help our friends and neighbors.
In some cases, it may happen one issue at a time. Listen for a person questioning the wisdom of a sacred cow policy like the $15 Minimum wage. That is the sign that they are struggling to match up the promised happy outcome with the sad reality the have come to know. That is the moment when an informed and compassionate patriot can guide that person to freedom and away from group think that has enslaved them. It will take patience and understanding to help people that have been shackled. We cannot expect that this will be easy from us or for them, but it will be worth it.
It is claimed that Harriet Tubman said: “I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” While historians can argue if she said those exact words let us draw inspiration from her example and make ourselves conductors on this new under ground railroad which takes people away from tyranny.
