And so the elk had to get it. The destruction of Portland’s elk statue is a warning to the rest of us: you’re next. Millions of Americans are getting the message and nodding obediently: everywhere you look these days, you’re inundated with tendentious Leftist propaganda that will only exaggerate, not heal, racial divisions. Many display this nonsense not because they’re true believers, but because they’re afraid: I know a man whose entire neighborhood has begun displaying Black Lives Matter signs, at the invitation of Leftist activists who politely knocked on their door and asked them to do so. When they came to him, he readily agreed: He knew that unspoken subtext was that if he did not, things would not go well for him in the future.
That is life in the new Soviet America that has been germinating for years and has descended upon us suddenly. Tomorrow is Independence Day. We can only hope it will inspire millions of Americans to realize what is happening, refuse to be intimidated into submission, and reclaim their history and their freedom, before it’s too late.
