The Left is freaking out. The magic potion is no longer working. It used to be, all they had to do was wave the wand and say “Hitler,” “racist” or “terrorist,” and the whole herd lined up to destroy whoever they were pointing at.
But over the past few years, something interesting has happened. Some of the people of the West have broken away, and have begun not just criticizing our government, but the theory that puts it in power known as “equality.” They are suggesting that not only have we lost our roots, but we got it wrong all along the way, maybe for centuries.
And with Charlottesville turning into a bloodbath after several other cities have experienced the violence, disorder and vandalism of Antifa rage, something worse is happening for those in power, which is the defection of the 47%. If you remember Mitt Romney, he was the Republican candidate who behind closed doors claimed that the 47% of the country which pays all the bills wants to cut out those who take but do not give, which is the other 53% or some large portion of it. Mitt was doing fine until he apologized for that statement, at which point all the conservatives packed up and went home. But now, the 47% is coming back into play.
To understand them, you have to understand average people versus productive people. Average people do not really exist, but for most people, they go to a job and do what they are told, then come home and watch video or play games, then go back and do it again. This is life for them because it is what they are capable of doing.
Productive people on the other hand are self-driven. If they are part of an office, they stand out in the topography of people by doing more or being better or faster at something. For them, there must always be purpose and a goal, and if they are going to spend their time on something, they will try to do it reasonably well.
Between the productive people and many of the average people, there are people who are trying to contribute at whatever level they can. These are the 47% and they are not all affluent. They are just highly functional. However, they are offset with a huge population that can be barely handle simple jobs, does them poorly when it does, and lives off either government benefits or the creations of government, like bureaucrats who take all day to process simple forms, or people who live on welfare for multiple months, years and generations.
