Voters in states that are shifting toward leftist political ideology may not get it...
Sedona, AZ, January 24, 2024… Yes, it is indeed odd that individuals who move from a state infected by radical leftist political ideology to a lifeboat state like Arizona, wonder why the state is moving politically toward that which they “escaped” from. To them, escape is not a harsh word, and it’s not my euphemism for fleeing from a virtual prison state, but theirs.
During my 2022 campaign for Arizona Secretary of State, and now as I campaign for Arizona State Senate in Yavapai County Arizona, home to Prescott, Sedona, Camp Verde, and Jerome, I hear voters lament about how the political environment has changed since they moved into their various communities from Washington State, Oregon, California and Colorado. They tell me how bad things were when they left their state of origin, and exclaim, “I’m seeing it happen here all over again.”
My good friend and colleague Seth Keshel @realSKeshel on just about every social media platform, provides a glimpse of potential causation, citing New Hampshire as the quintessential example of taking a leak in your own well.
“New Hampshire is still the most conservative of all the New England states, but it is not the red-pilled nest of freedom it once was thanks to having been overrun by what some locals would call Mass-holes seeking refuge from detrimental Democrat-induced financial, social, and general living conditions one state to the south.”1
So Seth’s observation begs the question, if you seek refuge, then why support what you fled from in your new confines? And, thus the title of this post.
If there is to be blame, what doorstep should it be laid upon?
To remain a viable nation, we must come to grips with what has changed and why, so that we can take corrective action to save what the Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum, and the entirety of the New World Order intend to take from us, perhaps without us even noticing. It is bitter medicine for sure, but taking stock of our own actions that impact the body politic is an important first step toward detoxification.
We have not noticed until recently that what many of us in the 60’s and 70’s learned in public schools commonly known as “Civics” is no longer taught. The substitution happened over time, and now the process of ideological indoctrination is in full swing. While Marc “the spoiled brat” Zuckerberg may have snatched the word for his own use under the guise of philanthropy, through his radical-leftist Center for Tech and Civic Life (aka CTCL) the truth is, he is not a philanthropist, but rather a social engineer who has a terribly warped worldview and sense of right and wrong.
On November 10, 2022, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he issued a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to the Center for Tech and Civil Life (CTCL) as part of an investigation to determine whether the nonprofit solicited donations under the pretext of protecting voters from Covid-19 while instead using the funds to support partisan electioneering efforts or election oversight roles normally left to state and local officials.2
Make no mistake, I am not blaming Zuckerberg here he’s just a rich useful idiot, I am suggesting that he is a poster child for what has happened. I am pleased that AG Paxton has displayed critical thinking skills, a fact which has certainly resulted in the recent attempt to impeach him by ten Texas Legislators who are themselves now under scrutiny for campaign financing irregularities.
It is our own abdication from the supervision of education and the allowance of the ghosts of Horace Mann and Thomas Dewey, communists who sought from the beginning of mandatory participation in public education —factories of “learning”—to move away from education and into indoctrination.
Each one of us contributed to letting it happen. We did not take heed of Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” And now today, our children are not taught civics / (ˈsɪvɪks) / noun (functioning as singular) the study of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, but instead taught adults must affirm their choice to be a sex other than that which corresponds to the chromosomal definition. If you are offended by what I have written in this paragraph, then you may be oblivious to my point.
