Progressives often cite this arc of progress they see in history to proclaim they are on the “right side of history.” Therefore whatever insane thing they want to do is justified. I wonder what it is going to be like for them when their kids or grandkids grow up to regard them as racists. Although to be frank I don’t think progressives are a group of people that are having kids.

It is comforting in that sense that there is an end to their ideology in sight. They are a childless group whose views will die with them. There is this creepy recognition of that which is why they try to indoctrinate other peoples kids in school. But I think they will lose that fight in the long run.

The current moment is painful, but given enough time, some but not all will have a wake-up moment and will have a come -to-Jesus moment and realize they weren’t on the right side of history.

I do often wonder myself how future generations are going to think about the trends of popular thought from this time period. Scratching their heads in confusion will probably be one reaction.

You are right. You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

Well unfortunately "time" being of the essence, it may take awhile for the red pill to sink in.
