‘Useful idiots’ on the left and right

-

To summarize a definition from my letter of last July 29th (A few words about “useful idiots”)

“A useful idiot is a naïve or credulous person — a gullible person easily manipulate­d, exploited, or persuaded to do, say, or believe things that help advance a cause or political agenda as the person is cynically used by the cause’s leaders, all without fully comprehend­ing the leaders’ true goals or purposes.”

Yes, there are useful idiots on the Right as well as on the Left. That is true. Yet there are difference­s.

On the political right, among conservati­ves and patriots, the few useful idiots advocate for America’s values of equality under the law, for one nation with liberty and justice for all, for truth and fairness, for redemption and forgivenes­s, for the equality of opportunit­y under a meritocrac­y, and for the time-tested best of Judaeo-Christian traditions.

Leftists, on the other hand, advocate for self-identified “girls” with PET* competing with XX-girls. Leftists demand free-stuff socialism for the dull, lazy, and ignorant; they advocate to harm people’s ability to simply live a free and peaceful life because of political difference­s. The Left’s useful idiots intend to teach thirdgrade children about alternativ­e sexual practices at the same time they are taught to accept the enforced mediocrity of outcomes based on Critical Racism Theory (CRT). The same useful idiots want to legalize near-birth abortions. So on and etc.

What do you think, which group is the least useful to America?
