But, given the intolerance and hatred on the left and its dominance over almost every area of American life, such an individual would have been a prophet.
Founders like Adams and Washington gave substantial warnings to us in their writings about maintaining virtue and religious principles in the culture in order to preserve liberty.
Now that virtue and religious principles have been discarded for the secular faith of the Marxist/Godless/Hedonist Left - why are we surprised that more than half the population goose-steps to Statism and the Pied Piper calls coming from demagogues in the Democrat party? Iniquity abounds along with lawlessness and as such, those who hold to fundamental truths will be hated, scorned, ridiculed, mocked, persecuted and even eventually killed for those beliefs in a society that is now a Socialist Mobocracy.
It is why police now ask if you are a "Constitution nut" if you cite your rights when they are kicking down your door without a warrant. It's why self-identifying Conservatives justify Civil Asset Forfeiture without charges or arrests in order to 'punish the appearance of criminality'. It's why despots like Nancy Pelosi respond with contempt to a question about where in the Constitution do they have authority to mandate Americans must buy a product and service they can fine and put you in prison for not purchasing. It is why an ignorant population accepts the mantra of White Privilege and Black Lives Matter and tolerates mayhem in the name of 'social justice'.
In a Socialist Mobocracy governed by hedonists and tyrants, whispering your true beliefs if they are not in lockstep with the mob and the state, will earn you loss of an income, property, wealth and one day - your life.
Such is where we are headed - and such are the lessons of history that this people have ignored.
