The Looming 1984 Election American Greatness

The choice in reductionist terms will be one between a growing, statist Panopticon, fueled by social media, a media-progressive nexus, and an electronic posse. Online trolls and government bureaucrats seek to know everything about us, in Big Brother fashion to monitor our very thoughts to ferret out incorrect ideas, and then to regiment and indoctrinate us to ensure elite visions of mandated equality and correct behavior or else!

In other words, the personality quirks of a Trump or an Elizabeth Warren or a Bernie Sanders will become mostly irrelevant given the existential choice between two quite antithetical ideas of future America. In 2020 we will witness the penultimate manifestation of what radical progressivism has in store for us all and the furious, often desperate, and unfettered pushback against it.

VDH might be a little hysterical here but not much I fear. I also worry about the growing Panopticon panopticonning me. I don’t use social media (except for this old school blog) and it’s probably just a matter of time before the PC police catch up with me, though maybe not. I am at a nominally Catholic and small but undeniably cute university, after all, though getting less small and cute all the time, seemingly, not to mention less Catholic. Stay tuned.
