Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Chair of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, has described the growing state of anarcho-tyranny seen most clearly in America, but present to varying degree right across the West now. In America, from both the Democrat Left and Republican right, there is a movement to reject the constitution and accept violence as the answer. As Professor Turley says: “The polls by the University of Virginia Center for Politics shows a nation at war with itself. Fifty-two percent of Biden supporters say Republicans are now a threat to American life while 47 percent of Trump supporters say the same about Democrats. Among Biden supporters, 41 percent now believe violence is justified “to stop [Republicans] from achieving their goals.” An almost identical percentage, 38 percent, of Trump supporters now embrace violence to stop Democrats. Not surprisingly, many of these people have lost faith in democracy. Some 31 percent of Trump supporters believe that the nation should explore alternative forms of government. Roughly a quarter (24 percent) of Biden supporters also question the viability of democracy.”
None of this should be surprising since it shows that beginning in the 1960s, a great philosophical gulf has developed between the Left and the Right. In general, conservatives have been content to allow the Leftist agenda on all things to dominate society, mainly as the Left instituted a long march through the institutions, such as the universities, to gain control of the nerve centres of society. Now their influence is everywhere from the schools to the law courts, as judges are university brainwashed as well. It is now wave after wave of woke, as Australia’s Voice referendum showed. But here there was a long-awaited fight back.
