The Tide Is Turning in Freedom’s Favor

Looking backwards in a few years, it is entirely possible that we will see that December 2021 was the high-water mark of the great progressive coup, when leftists reached out for the brass ring, but their soft, girlish hands were too weak to grasp it. It is likely all downhill for them from here, though that is not entirely clear to us right now. When Gandalf returned from getting balrogged in the Lord of the Rings flicks, he says, “I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide." Except all their big battles were still ahead. And even if the tide has turned for us too, so are ours. 

But perhaps this epic elf opera, as my pal Kenny dubbed the genre, has some wisdom to impart. We have huge fights before us, and we can still lose. Yet, if you look at the trends, if you look at the correlations of forces, in retrospect we might wonder why the hell we were so worried. Sometimes, when a jury comes back and the verdict goes my way, it seems to me that, looking back, it could not have done otherwise. But now we are in the moment, in the struggle, and it’s hard to get clarity even as we keep taking casualties. The fog of war is thick and opaque, but as we enter a new year, the odds grow ever in our favor.

But we should not deceive ourselves into thinking this is going to be easy. They will not just walk away from their power and prestige without a struggle. They will fight, and not fairly. We are already seeing it with the 1/6 inquisition violating every rule and right to try to criminalize dissent and opposition. They will ruin you if they can, cancel you, arrest you, destroy you, or worse. Do not underestimate their fascist tendencies and authoritarian dreams. You rely on them having consciences at your peril. Ask Ashli Babbitt about what they will do to you if they can.
