Equilibrium, a centrist nation, and the progressives' astroturfing dilemna:
I harp on the need for equilibrium often, because it is as strong of a natural law as any - and I believe it's behind much of the strife and anger that we see today. It also is an enormous problem for the progs.
Let me explain my thinking here.
Everything in the natural world demands equilibrium - from cellular structure to society and politics. If this get too far out of balance, there will be a forced rebalancing.
Your skin gets wrinkles in water because of your cells seeking osmosis with the water you're in. Forest fires happen when clearing has been put off. And societies will force change when the political balance gets out of whack.
The US Government was set up to have a set of adversarial checks & balances in case one branch went too far off kilter and stepped out of line.
A free & independent media is titled "the fourth estate" to be a last line of defense in case the above fails, speaking "truth to power" if those in power are lying about or hiding realty.
Unfortunately, both of the above have failed. And people can see that en masse now.
Why is this a problem for progressives?
Because their numbers are not nearly as large as they would want you to believe.
Yes, the 60s radicals and their mentees have taken over the levers of power and media, but within the actual population their numbers are marginal.
Most don't understand this, but some intrepid journalists like Tracy Beanz, Matt Taibbi, Shellengerber and others have been showing it to you.
The Twitter Files outlined a portion of the prog astroturfing that was designed to trick people into believing that their ideas had more popular support than they did in reality.
Social media censored opposing views while boosting the ultra-prog (and unpopular) views.
Media will only report one side. DC politicos regurgitate what they see in the media, and FBI is perfectly happy to use the same (fake) media as a pretext for arresting people.
But the natural world demands balance, which is why the Overton Window and population as a whole is shifting further right.
Lifelong classical liberals are being castigated as "MAGA extremists" because they maintain the same positions they always have.
People see this.
People refusing to alter language for a tiny part of delusionsists are tagged as extremists.
People see this.
The DOJ and FBI have become the American KGB, wholly politicized for progs.
People see this.
The business of politics and campaigns has always been to court the center, because that's where the majority of the population sits.
Most rational people desire equilibrium, even subconsciously, so as they see the entirety of messaging shifting more and more progressive, it has the opposite effect.
If they aren't brainwashed, they shift anti-prog to naturally rebalance the system.
The problem for the progs is there weren't that many of them to begin with - their "popular support" was all highly-funded astroturfing.
Whether this forces the system to break or pulls down the curtain, it's happening worldwide, pretty much in unison.
Lying to gain power will not work well for the progs, even though it worked so well for them up to the point.
Be aware that they know this, which is why their aggression is being ratcheted up.
It will get worse in the interim.
But in the end, Nature - which is the paintbrush or hand of God - always wins.

RFK Jr. Responds to a C-Span Caller Who Labels Him a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’
CALLER: “Your conspiracy theories – they literally scare us ... 5G is mass surveillance ... I’m so confused.”
KENNEDY: “You say that 5G is not used for surveillance. Is there really any American left who believes that the government is not spying on the American people? Edward Snowden demonstrated this. I don’t think you’ll find a single member of Congress who, if you ask them, ‘Does the government spy on Americans?’ [who] will tell you no. So, I don’t understand how that’s a conspiracy theory.”
