The BIG DEAL Made by ISMs and the LEFT
The BIG DEAL the LEFT has made—with all its exceptions to the rule, law notwithstanding—is really quite simple:
Political power comes first. Everything else comes second.
Okay, remember the old expression: “Hang your freak flag high!”
Well, freaks—it's time to come out of the closet and overwhelm those who USED TO RULE.
Now, it doesn't matter whether you're a homosexual, feminist, environmentalist, socialist, activist, or whatever your particular “ISM” happens to be.
We will celebrate you. We will recognize you. We will honor your persona—no matter how “queer” or unconventional it may appear.
But here's the BIG DEAL:
We will cooperate as a LEFTIST MOB.
You will stay on the talking points.
You will toe the line.
And whenever you need political support, we will support you.
Unless...
Unless your particular cause, your particular “ISM,” or your particular demands interfere with the larger LEFTIST AGENDA FOR PURE POLITICAL POWER.
And should that happen?
Your ISM suddenly becomes worthless.
The moment you step outside the approved boundaries, the support disappears.
And if you complain?
You're CANCELLED.
That's the deal.
Come one, come all. Bring your causes, your identities, your grievances, your movements, and your “ISMs.”
There's a place for you in the coalition—as long as you play by the rules.
Because, politically speaking, the message is:
You have nowhere else to go.
And THAT is the BIG DEAL.
