Dancing Around the Fires of Hell
We are weeks away from another national election and still staring at ugly political realities—an election in which the propaganda machine and its celebrity buffoons prop up an unpopular Marxist; and a nonstop campaign of ballot hijinks and judicial malfeasance. One man is the singular enemy of the Left, the bullseye for several assassination crews. The foundations of our storied American experiment are covered in graffiti, riddled with tunnels, and stinking of weed. As dismal as our political prospects appear now, our post-2020 apocalypse has served at least one useful function; it has pulled off the masks to reveal two very real spiritual forces at work in our world.
Those of us who grew up in the 1970’s and 1980’s remember a time when such spiritual realities weren’t yet forced to the surface. The average American wasn’t drawn to visceral ideologies. Being a Democrat simply meant cheering for the working man, with the requisite affinities for taxes, labor unions, and women’s rights. Being a Republican likely meant you championed wealth creation and embraced free markets and lower taxes, with little patience for social agitators. Neither party seemed eager to welcome illegals or publicly snuggle with communists—although the Left has always made room for them.
For a few post-war decades, and even in the Cold War’s nuclear fears, our political parties carried on with their usual theater.
