When the progressive woke revolution took over
traditional America, matters soon reached the level of
the ridiculous.
Take the following examples of woke craziness and
hypocrisy, perhaps last best witnessed during Mao
Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.
The Biden administration from its outset wished to
neuter immigration law. It sought to alter radically
the demography of the United States by stopping the
border wall and allowing into the U.S. anyone who could
walk across the southern border.
Over seven million did just that. Meanwhile, President
Joe Biden ignored the role of the Mexican cartels in
causing nearly 100,000 ANNUAL American fentanyl deaths.
Then border states finally wised up.
They grasped that the entire open-borders, “new
Democratic majority” leftwing braggadocio was
predicated on its hypocritical architects staying as
far away as possible from their new constituents.
So cash strapped border states started busing their
illegal aliens to sanctuary blue-state jurisdictions.
Almost immediately, once magnanimous liberals, whether
in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, or Manhattan, stopped
virtue-signaling their support for open borders.
Instead, soon they went berserk over the influx.
So now an embarrassed Biden administration still wishes
illegal aliens to keep coming, but to stay far away
from their advocates—by forcing them to remain in
Texas.
That means the president has redefined the U.S. border.
It rests now apparently north of Texas, as Biden cedes
sovereignty to Mexico.
Pre-civilizational greens in California prefer blowing
up dams to building them.
They couldn’t care less that their targeted reservoirs
help store water in drought, prevent flooding, enhance
irrigation, offer recreation, and generate clean
hydroelectric power.
Now an absurd green California is currently destroying
four dams on the Klamath River. In adding insult to
injury, it is paying the half-billion dollar demolition
cost in part through a water bond that state voters
once thought would build new—not explode existing—dams.
The Biden administration is mandating new dates when
electric vehicles will be all but mandatory.
To prove their current viability, Energy Secretary
Jennifer Granholm led a performance art EV caravan on a
long road trip.
When she found insufficient charging stations to
continue her media stunt, she sent a gas-powered car
ahead to block open charging stations and deny them to
other EVs ahead in line.
Only that way could Granholm ensure that her arriving
energy-starved motorcade might find rare empty charger
stalls.
In some California charging stations, diesel generators
are needed to produce enough “clean” electricity to
power the stalls.
The state has steadily dismantled many of its nuclear,
oil, and coal power plants. It refuses to build new
natural gas generation plants.
Naturally, California’s heavily subsidized solar and
wind plants now produce too much energy during the day
and almost nothing at night.
So the state now begs residents to charge their EVs
only during the day. Then at night, Californians may
soon be asked to plug them in again to transfer what is
left in their batteries into the state grid.
Apparently only that way will there be enough
expropriated “green” electricity for 41 million state
residents after dark.
One of the loudest leftist voices to defund the police,
and decriminalize violent crimes in the post-George
Floyd era, was Shivanthi Sathanandan, the 2nd vice
chairwoman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor
Party.
She was recently not shy about defunding: “We are going
to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it
with me. DISMANTLE.”
But recently the loud Sathanandan was a victim of the
very crime wave she helped to spawn.
Last week, four armed thugs carjacked her automobile.
They beat her up in front of her children at her own
home, and sped off without fear of arrest.
The reaction of the arch police dismantler and
decriminalizer on her road to Damascus?
The now bruised and bleeding activist for the first
time became livid that criminals had taken over her
Minneapolis: “Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are
thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young
people out of custody to roam our streets instead of
HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
Andrea Smith was an ethnic studies professor at the
University of California, Riverside. But now she has
been forced out after getting caught lying that she was
Native American.
Prior to her outing, she was well known for damning
“white women” (like herself) who opted to “become
Indians” out of guilt, and (like her) for careerist
advantage.
The common theme of these absurdities is how contrary
to human nature, impractical, and destructive is
utopian wokism, whether in matters of energy, race,
crime, or illegal immigration.
There are two other characteristics of the Woke
Revolution.
One, it depends solely on its advocates never having to
experience firsthand any of the nonsense they inflict
on others.
And two, dangerous zealots with titles before, and
letters after, their names prove to be quite stupid—and
dangerous.
