History is the left’s worst enemy.

To understand this fact, you must first understand the nature of truth, and how the left responds to truth.

A concise way to explain it to you is to say the left believes they create truth, but since truth exists independently of them, they have no ability whatsoever to control it.

And because they can’t sell their ideology without making it look like the opposite of what it is, the left’s entire existence is spent lying about what they do and covering it up with more lies.

"History is the left’s worst enemy."

I don't say these things with glee in my heart. It's just the opposite. Nothing but sorrow.

History can't be the left's worst enemy because we don't have anybody in large enough numbers weaponizing it against them. Progressives can change history at will because they completely own it - as the person who replied to me just before you, made note of. There are to be sure, one or two people here on FR that truly take history seriously above and beyond convenient quotes used for gotcha purposes, and then there's David Barton, and then really that's about it. The conservative activism on the historical front is alarmingly slim.

I'm sure there's probably 3 or 5 other people who could be named, but they are far and few in between. Sure there are a handful of newcomers, there's this 1776 Unites which was formed in response to the 1619 Project.

Progressives have controlled written history for over a century. You don't overcome that kind of advantage with a dozen people and a 1 year old organization. It's not mathematically feasible.
