Liberalism Is A Gift From The Future

…so let there be light.
This video and rant is for all the beautiful Blue People out there who are working so hard to keep our country moving toward a brighter tomorrow. Keep up the good fight. And remember no matter what the revisionist historians try and spit down your throat, Progressives have always won. Always! Now I know it’s not been easy, and it’s not been quick… but in the end WE ALWAYS WIN: Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, 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 at the bottom of story)
You see history has proven that Liberals have always been on the correct side of history – not the right side, the correct side! The Right has always been proven wrong. 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 Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz pretending to be Patriots, but are in truth, nothing more than hollow-souled ‘Hatriots’.
Conservatives see these dark vessels of charismatic discord as godly. Somehow, somewhere, something inside the brain of these beings got miss-wired and sparked a fractured perception of goodness, beauty and love. They are 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 are afraid. And fear is so very powerful. How many times have you been frozen in place because you were utterly terrified? 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 — 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.
Note: I’ve included 150 Liberal accomplishments, but I hope you take a look at the video first. Now yes, it is one of those hyper inspiring, new age earnestness meets sci fi can-do-it plausibility, but if you just suspend your disbelief for a bit, it's pretty cool.
