‘Strange Bedfellows:’ The Protean Alliances of the American Left
While the so-called “Right” can be easily divided based on principle, the Left always votes en bloc, united in its effort to bring down a common enemy.
Maduro’s capture revealed a seemingly curious realignment: The American Left condemned it together with the governments of countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. This may seem illogical, but it is consistent with the goals and practices of leftist movements. During the Cold War, the American Left was sympathetic to communist and socialist regimes and failed to categorically condemn the brutal crimes of communism.
In 2014, when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea during the second Obama mandate, there was no particular outrage on the part of American leftists. After “Russiagate,” however, they suddenly became vehemently anti-Russian. The American Left perceived the war between Russia and Ukraine as a proxy war to discredit Trump and both of his administrations. And now, they are again siding with Russia and other anti-Western regimes in condemning the arrest of an illegitimate socialist dictator.
The Left is fundamentally different from conservatives, classical liberals, and libertarians in rejecting the notion of objective truth and morality. Their goal is ruthlessly political — to gain power and transform the existing social order. This absence of objective truth and morality in leftist anti-Western ideologies is plainly visible in the Marxist and Leninist doctrines, critical theory, and most recently, the intersectional alliance of vastly incongruous groups with otherwise conflicting interests.
While the so-called “Right” can be easily divided based on principle, the Left always votes en bloc, united in its effort to bring down a common enemy. We should be ever vigilant in recognizing, exposing, and disarming the destructive modus operandi of external and internal forces, fanatically aligned to destroy America and the West.

The left is best personified as an hysterical woman, and it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.
Perhaps it is because so much of the Left. ARE hysterical women?
….Go ahead, downvote me.
I upvoted you and I’d like to give you more upvotes than just the one.
Now if I said that and I effectively have said that I would get downvoted as I have in the past. So I’m upvoting your comment and expecting downvotes on mine,
These young women aligning with the Democrat left had better hope they never succeed in destroying America and the West. They won’t fare well once they learn what their actual position will be. Assume their new position or perish.
+1 on the ignorant, sheltered griping Karens.
They will either be upright in a burka or unwillingly horizontal out of one.
I kind of hope it does come to pass, after I’m gone of course, so they can get their just deserts. Best of all worlds is if they have to live in a communist islamic theocracy.
The vile, stupid and evil leftists/Labour/Dhimmi-crats have embraced Islamofascism/Muslim supremacism, with the same naive, ignorant and foolish fervor with which they embraced Bolshevism/Soviet communism.
Never mind that the supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent, hate-filled and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission” represents sundry doctrines that go against what the Dhimmi-crats loudly claim to stand for (e.g., women’s rights, homosexuals’ rights; minority rights).
Leftists and Dhimmi-crats have embraced the dishonest, revisionist, romanticized, paternalistic and naive conceit of “The Noble Muslim,” an allegedly victimized and oppressed person, brimming with alleged virtue and purity, devoid of agency for his/her ideological and sociopolitical choices, and, absolved of blame for his/her enabling of Islam’s pathologies and wake of destruction.
The author missed the bigger point in his story. The left in America take their orders from Moscow. Always have and always will. Useful idiots.
Disagree. They now take their orders from the Davos crowd. That’s who is spending the money to indoctrinate them and support them.
Let’s say that these pukes take their orders from Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Mecca and Davos, to cover all the relevant ideological sources.
Thy took their orders from Moscow when Moscow was communist.
Now that it isn’t, they tar their opponents with mythical ties to Russia.
Their current masters are the society from which they hire their drivers, their social secretaries, their oddly affectionate girlfriends, and their gain-of-function gurus.
The male left took their orders from Moscow in the early and late 20th century. Now the left are progressive women and the desperate simps who support them and they just as soon take their marching orders from Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Katy Perry and not from a man ruled country.
But Katy Perry is a respected astronaut! Like Mark Kelly!
Perry is a sack of potatoes. An attractive sack but still a sack.
the welfare state is all encompassing and all evil all the time
it takes no rests to enjoy life in the way that a pro human would
so thats why until we start out at the small..lower levels of county city politics and take back the money and that must be stressed
it must be the patriotic fiscal conservatives that say no to publicly funding the schools…until then
we are also voting en bloc with the left to destroy america
There’s really only one country you need to consider. You know the one.
You don’t.
Consider what?
Which country?
What are you even talking about?
Why do you bother coming here?
