In the actions of the current Democrats, I am reminded of this quote from CS Lewis: "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."

Good paraphrase, but whole quote is worth a read: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."
Thank you! I could not find the entire quote...only the abbreviated one. The Democrats of today most definitely are willing to torment us without end...their consciences approve of all they do.
This quote/paraphrase precisely indicates why no one should be voting for any Democrat and should be voting for all Republicans. There is absolutely no relief with Democrats. And I am a current old school liberal who is one of those now accused of being alt-right. That is fine, I have been voting straight Republican tickets since and including 2020. In retrospect, should have been doing this a lot longer. I am ashamed now I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, but went for Jill Stein. Nothing in the world was getting me to vote for Hillary (or Biden).

Vice hath Conscience -- Virtue, none."
Thanks for this Jrod
