A Liberal lynch mob

  

Aug. 19, 2022

 One by one they paraded up to the microphone to lecture us, all wearing face masks , the contemporary symbol for social justice warrior without which they would feel utterly exposed, hiding their identity even as they muffled their name, each carrying their litany of issue that define their generation: Climate change, Abortion, gay right, anti-police, anti-Trump, learning these things from their liberal professors at college the way Catholics learned their faith from catechism, almost of all of them heavy with white guilt, bearing for a sympathy for people of color many of them never actually met, carrying these things into the wide world as if a crusade.

Tonight, they came to crucify someone, bearing witness against someone they believed did wrong and must be forced out of office, even before the legal process has expired, a kind of mob mentality typical of the middle ages when their kind judged and burned witches, each a self-centered, self-righteous know it all, preaching at the legislators as if on a mission from a god know of them profess to believe in, so full of themselves they don’t even cringe when they hear themselves speak, most living a life of luxury few of the down and out they profess to speak for could imagine, unbearable arrogant as if to say those to whom they lecture could not possibly know as much as they do, and need to be instructed on how to live their lives, each bringing their own judge and jury of one to the podium needing only the hanging noose to reveal them as the lynch mob they really are, a vindictive, judgmental pack of spoiled brats who have come to pass judgment on their victim, tossing around the word “trump” as a vindictive, the latest curse word of the z-generation the way our generation used the word “Nixon,” and equally dishonest.

The victim was only one more excuse for protest since these same faces – if you could make them out behind their masks – were the same faces that came out for every protest, filling the street in front of City Hall or the pedestrian plaza, carrying slogans they got from their comrades off the internet, full of fury and rage at a system they see as systemically racist, even when it isn’t, they act as if it is, and army of zombies so indoctrinated as to have stopped thinking, having learned everything they need to know in college except for the ability to think for themselves, each repeating what the previous speaker has said, as if saying a rosary (all of whom thinks as racist as well), spouting political rhetoric that is so full of hate it is the verbal version of a whip, each striking the back on their victim with the hope they can get the victim to squeal or confess, or do what they demand, many complaining that they can not strike these blows remotely, inconvenienced by the fact they actually have to show up in person to do their evil deeds, when so many of their comrades are too lazy to make the trek, and so sit home pouting, unable to push a button or send a hateful message while sitting on their couch.

This is the modern vision of a lynch mob.
