We Have Four Years To Make Sure 2020 Never Happens Again
Joy Pullmann
2020 is a revelation still unfolding. It harshly schooled everyone who endured it. Five years later, what have those with eyes to see learned? Most of it is frightening, but some is hopeful.
2020 taught us that, despite (or because of?) the lengthiest state-mandated “education” in human history, our fellow citizens are extremely ignorant of natural rights and history, and of what conditions fertilize totalitarianism. It taught us that not just German Nazis, Soviet Communists, and Chinese Communists will herd innocent people into camps, but also allegedly democratic nations such as Australia, Germany, and New Zealand. It taught us that approximately half of American “Democrats,” and a minority but still too-big chunk of “Republicans,” would also support throwing people who disagree with them in camps.
2020 taught us that most of our public officials are feckless hirelings who’d throw your grandma into isolation to die, not sword-wielding warriors who stand guard fearlessly against rabid wolves. It taught us leftist conspiracy theorists ran our country, and they can trot out regime-change street rioters to get their way.
