Before you enter a battle, it s best to understand the kind of monster you re fighting. With its use of mob violence, censorship, and propaganda, it can be easy to conceive of the left as a unified, tyrannical colossus. But that s just not the case. While a thin veneer of vindictive Marxist rhetoric is smeared across the leftist coalition to create the appearance of a solid front, progressives in reality are a snarling mass of contradictory interests unified by their hate for America.
00:02:34.960Marxist radicals agitate for economic revolution, but end up supporting woke multinational corporations.
00:02:42.120Liberal, pro-Israel Jewish donors fund the same political movement that contains Palestinian
00:02:48.420activists who chant from the river to the sea across college campuses.
00:02:53.180These groups very obviously would be fighting to the death in any other context,
00:02:59.000but somehow they find a way to work together and dominate the political landscape in the United States.

00:03:33.560Many on the right have attempted to explain this curious phenomenon by attributing it to the prevalence of postmodern neo-Marxist thought on the left.
00:03:46.160This is tempting as many on the left explicitly embrace Marxist language or apply the oppressed and oppressor frame to their evaluation of every social ill.
00:03:57.100I think it's fair to say that to some degree Marxist thought has become the superstructure that grants a level of coherence to the leftist coalition.
00:04:08.500But ultimately, this is not the deciding factor that causes queers for Palestine to cheer for a group of people who would kill them in a heartbeat.
00:04:17.240At its core, the left is a movement unified by hatred of the average red state American.
00:04:25.540The rural, white, small-business-owning evangelical Christian male with a wife and kids is the evilest thing progressives can imagine.
00:04:35.080Every faction inside the leftist coalition has its own interests and grievances, but they're united by the fact that they hold Red America in the deepest contempt and blame them for everything wrong in the country.
00:04:50.320This is why the left seems fine with discarding and adopting contradictory narratives at a moment's notice.
00:04:59.620Ultimately, the left is held together by a naked desire for power and vengeance.
00:05:04.980And that power comes from dismantling the civilization built by previous generations of Americans and distributing the spoils to the various client classes that serve the progressive movement.
00:05:19.280Under any other circumstances, the different factions inside the left would tear each other apart, but that animosity is held at bay by a general fear and loathing of conservative America.
00:05:35.380There's a reason that universities, corporations, and even the United States military have identified whiteness as an evil that must be suppressed or expelled from public life.
00:05:48.160Many in the progressive coalition are, of course, white, but they see themselves as one of the good ones, allies against the deplorables and bitter clingers who wear MAGA hats and attend church on Sunday.
00:06:02.340As wild as wild as it may seem due to the meager resistance offered by the Republican Party, the left truly believes that conservatives are an existential threat and that progressives have a moral duty to rule over and punish Red America.
00:06:20.680Hatred and fear are powerful motivators, but they can't paper over the critical fault lines in the progressive coalition forever.
00:06:28.540The leftist civil war over Israel and Palestine that's been erupting on college campuses during an election year shows how quickly rival factions can turn on each other without a shared enemy to fight.
00:06:41.160The right should keep these hostile divisions in mind and look to exacerbate them at every opportunity.
00:06:47.420Conservatives should also recognize when it's time to get out of the way and let warring factions fight each other, rather than riding to the rescue by providing a shared symbol around which the left can rally.
00:07:01.440While it's highly unlikely that any of these groups will suddenly flip and begin voting Republican,
00:07:08.400sowing chaos among the ranks of the enemy in a critical election year is always a good tactic.
00:07:14.560The hatred shared by the different factions in the progressive coalition can galvanize them into an intimidating force,
00:07:23.660but the right should never be blind to the fact that these groups have very different goals and interests.
00:07:31.940Conservatives should also avoid the temptation to over-intellectualize the motives of a movement that's driven entirely by resentment and a lust for power.
00:07:43.820The left is only capable of acting as a force of hatred and deconstruction,
00:07:51.080which means it has nothing to offer but the gutted ruins of a civilization progressives are intent on destroying.
00:08:00.220Progressives are very clear about what they hate and seek to dismantle,
00:08:05.940so conservatives should be clear about what they love and what they intend to build,
00:08:11.320while taking every opportunity to expose and exacerbate the rift between factions in the leftist coalition.
