An eye-opening book to say the least. To say the stakes are high in both the 2022 Mid-Term Election and 2024 General Election is an understatement. The Conclusion of the book says it best:
WE CANNOT READ THE plans of the woke Left without understanding, in a way that we never have, the true stakes involved in the elections of 2022 and 2024. Are the gains of generations of American families to be burned alive on the coals of woke envy? Is all that we have achieved as a nation, and as families, to be held hostage in order to punish us for slaves we never owned (and our ancestors died to free), discrimination we never practiced, and racism we never felt in our hearts? Are our children to be taught to hate and envy one another? Is the emerging post- racial era in our society to be forfeit in the new cancel culture? Are our heroes to be debased, and our great past presidents to be demeaned as slave-owning imperialists? Is brotherhood to be sacrificed for natred? Is reconciliation to be wiped out in the name of meting out what the Left calls "equity"-balancing the accounts of history by robbing the present to pay the supposed debts of the past? Are the shared sacrifices of the past -what Lincoln, in his first inaugural address, called the "mystic chords of memory and the better angels of our nature" to be swept aside with each swipe of the woke guillotine of the cancel culture? Is our blessed democracy to be debased by altered ballots, phony signatures, and ghost voters, all because the burden of voter identification is too onerous? And consider whether the hard-won gains of women who have liberated themselves from the velvet slavery of enforced domesticity, are to be compromised once again by the avarice of men, now cross-dressed, and perhaps surgically altered, to masquerade as women. Are the rungs of the ladder we all need to use to climb above our current stations in life to be sawed away by what President Bush 43 called "the soft bigotry of low expectations"?
Are we to be a yoked to a technocracy where our innermost thoughts can be read by Chinese and American Big Tech masters? Are we to be drowned in a sea of illegal immigration? Will crime again rule our streets at night? Will blind partisanship, motivated by class hatred and envy, so divide us that we become one another's enemies? Or will we again follow the advice of Abraham Lincoln, that "we are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."
