One of the most revealing narratives that surfaced during the 2024 US election campaign was the argument from establishment journalists that the Constitution and the voting system might be allowing “too much freedom” for the general public. How can this be true? Progressive activists claim that voter choice can be manipulated by abuses of free speech (disinformation) and that without controls on that speech the Constitution essentially has a built in self destruct mechanism.
Outlets like the New York Times made these arguments specifically in reference to the presidential bid of Donald Trump. Trump, leftists assert, represents the rise of “far-right fascism” in America and the normal rules of the democratic process no longer apply. They argue that he must be stopped at all costs.
One could dismiss all this rhetoric as the coping and seething of sore losers, but it goes well beyond that.
The self destructing democracy theory would be interesting, except that it’s driven completely by the arrogance, elitism and biases of political leftists hellbent on keeping power for themselves. When a group of people believes that they represent the totality of the “greater good” and that their ideas should never be questioned or challenged because to do so is akin to heresy, that’s what we call zealotry. This is exactly what progressives have become – So much so that across the western world they have deemed themselves righteous enough to delay or sabotage the election process.
