If you've succumbed to one particular lie.... your misunderstanding of all of history, politics and economics is explained.
We'll investigate....
1. Over 65 million well-intentioned Americans voted for an utter incompetent ideologue, one with a personal history of anti-American views and actions.
How is this possible?
The answer is suggested in the title of the thread: indoctrination....so very many have been trained to allow others to do their thinking for them.
2. The Leftists, the statists, collectivists have worked tirelessly for over a century to turn Americans into unquestioning drones, and have been immensely successful! It has been accomplished by wresting control of the schools, the media and the political apparatus of the major political party.
a. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.”
Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51
b Entire areas of academia have been co-opted:
82% of Liberal social psychologists surveyed said they would be prejudiced against a conservative applicant. [https://journals.cambridge.org/images/fileUpload/documents/Duarte-Haidt_BBS-D-14-00108_preprint.pdf]
c. "...an alarming level of intolerance emanates from the left side of the political spectrum toward people who express views that don't hew to the 'settled' liberal worldview..... . I'm now embarrassed that I ever thought such a thing, let alone said it aloud.Such a prejudiced viewwas only able to take root because of the lack of ideological, political, and religious diversity in my world."
Kirsten Powers, "The Silencing: How The Left Is Killing Free Speech,"
d. O'Sullivan's First Law (a.k.a. O'Sullivan's Law), paraphrased by George Will as stating that any institution that is not libertarian and classically liberal will, over time, become collectivist and statist.
O'Sullivan's First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows. http://old.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-jos062603.asp
3. Now....the key question in this one-question test...what is the Litmus Test of Indoctrination? Simply accepting this lie:
"While communism and socialism are on the Left side of the political spectrum, the really horrid doctrines of Nazism and Fascism are on the right! And the folks we hate in American political landscape are iterations of those 'Rightwing' beliefs!"
Admit it, Liberals, Progressives, Democrats....you bought that lie like it was on sale!
