The Left And It’s Desperation

I haven’t said anything about the academy awards fiasco the other night mostly because it interests me not at all, who gets what award and so on. If they actually produced movies anybody cared about anymore, it might be different. But, no.

Let me say, the prospect of watching the unbearable posturing of the rich and privileged lecturing each other ( and by extension, us) about the evils of the rich and privileged is right up there with listening to Yoko Ono records on my list of pleasurable things to do.

That said, I must confess a certain level of satisfaction, by way of the breathless press reports coming out of that hot mess, that nothing is changed.

They are all trying to outdo each other in the currency of that realm… Which is leftist virtue signaling. that’s the lion’s share of how people are judged in Hollywood anymore. Which in turn is precisely why they haven’t made movies that are worth a crap for the last 30 years, anyway. They’ve given up any pretense of giving out awards based on artistry and talent, and focused instead on “advancing the cause”.

Actually, things have changed a little bit this year based on the breathless “reporting” I’ve seen… An increasing stridency in their virtue signaling, which I take to indicate an increased desperation. Then again, that’s the nature of trying to shout somebody down. The only way to get noticed is to get louder and in this context, more radically leftist.

So it is also with the Democrats in Congress and the Democratic presidential field.

Two years ahead of the actual election and already this thing has turned into a race to the bottom. Each of these supposedly ‘leading” candidates trying to “out leftist” the other and apparently not caring about mainstream America …or at the very least, misidentifying it, perhaps intentionally so. even their own polling data is telling them that the socialism being espoused by the FrontRunners is a non-starter with most Americans, and yes they embrace it, apparently because this is what they’ve wanted, all along.

In their desperation, they’ve been showing us clearly who they are.
