On an individual level, growing up in an armored, family environment will render the child in various degrees out of touch – clueless – with himself and with his historical past. In psychiatry, this process is called repression.
On a social level, leftist ideologues’ rewriting America’s history by distorting it according to their pre-existing views about the ways things should be in our society, amounts to repression on a mass scale. It is intended to wipe out people’s contact with themselves and with the memory of their nation’s historical past. Systematically tearing down historical statues by leftist ideologues is another example of social repression.
These are some of the destructive manifestations of the emotional plague from the political left. They are being permitted and supported in today’s anti-authoritarian society by many people who have the authority for maintaining law and order but do not have the ability to exercise it by exposing the plague. The effect on the mindless public is that they are becoming even more out of touch with themselves and with their sense of loyalty and patriotism to America. It places Americans at the mercy of far left ideologues who will use the power generated by the vacuum that is created by the absence of authority to manipulate people’s lives and promise them a bright, better, new, communist future for America. This will be provided by the Democratic Party (aka CPUSA), members who were duly elected to political power by the clueless American people themselves.
In summary: The emotional plague operates to destroy America by destroying American people’s contact with themselves. This is how the plague takes the current anti-authoritarian transformation of American society to its next level, into a communist state. The tragedy is that the clueless American public is becoming even more clueless by the emotional plague’s activity from the political left and it is happening in front of their own eyes.
