The recent attacks on journalists covering ANTIFA events, (and the refusal of local authorities to intervene) the persistent assaults on individuals wearing MAGA hats, the harassment and intimidation of students who are not leftists, the censoring of centrist and conservative posts on social media, and the ostracization within various industries of those who are not Progressives are clear evidence that many leftists in the United States share the dictatorial and violent traits of their brethren in Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and China.
It can no longer be said that these are isolated events by extremist members of the Left/Progressive movement. They are the very essence of it. And verbal violence must be included, as well. The manufactured charges drummed up against Trump in the aftermath of the 2016 election, the unsupported allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, the false labelling as “racist” of every individual who merely disagrees with any left-wing position must be included.
The bridge of lawlessness was crossed during the Obama Administration, when whole portions of the federal government were hijacked for partisan political purposes. No punishment was ever delivered to Lois Lerner, who used the Internal Revenue Service to assault the Tea Party. Nothing happened to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who used the justice Department to attack conservatives.
The Progressive Movement has moved beyond misusing government agencies and censoring social media. It has ensnared the wider culture. A massive percentage of “entertainment” TV programs convey left-wing propaganda.

Politics should be entirely kept out of education, but that is not happening.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) conducted three consecutive national surveys which found that “the majority of our nation’s colleges and universities violate students’ and faculty members’ right to freedom of expression. Of the 364 institutions surveyed … approximately 270 of them—74 percent—maintain policies that clearly restrict speech that would otherwise be protected by the First Amendment. FIRE’s annual report is based on a comprehensive analysis of the policies restricting speech maintained by colleges and universities.
Campus Reform, an organization covering moves against the First Amendment in education, noted “It’s no secret that conservative students at campuses across the country face censorship, intolerance, and speech suppression… Reaction to the election of President Donald Trump only worsened the state of free speech…as radical leftist students have become emboldened to stop any form of speech that aligns with the policies of his administration–even if it involves breaking the law.”
Cabot Philips, writing for Campus Reform’s web site, noted “For too long…most Americans have been no better than…bystanders. Standing idly by while thugs and bullies posing as social justice warriors stifle the speech of the few with violence and intimidation. I’ve been on more than 100 college campuses in the past three years fighting for free speech, and I’ve seen those types of people all too often.”
Hopefully not too late, there has been a dawning realization of how far down the path of totalitarianism the Left has gone. The Washington Times reports that Senator Ted Cruz has called for a federal investigation against Portland, Oregon mayor Ted Wheeler, a Progressive who has allowed Antifa to violently assault people in his streets.
Project Veritas has exposed Google’s attempt to rig coverage of the 2020 election, in furtherance of that company’s leftist ideology. the organization has released an expose on Google including undercover video of a Senior Google Executive, leaked documents, and testimony from a Google insider revealing that corporation’s illicit attempt to affect the outcome of the 2020 elections to insure that a candidate who complies with their leftists beliefs wins. In principle, of course, Google has the right to support the candidate of their choice. Doing so by censoring opinion on social media is not appropriate. It is a 1984-type move to oppress those with differing views.
The true extent of the descent into violence and oppression by Progressives has been effectively downplayed by left-oriented social and news media. It will take a major awakening by the American public to recognize and react to this massive and growing crisis.
