The rule of law and democracy are two things that the Progressive Left claim to be fighting for, yet actually fight against. “Democracy“, to them, is not about majority rule, nor even about individuals actually having any say whatsoever about their own governance.
They see democracy as not many voices, but of one voice: The Volonté Générale, a singular and motile will which springs forth Borglike from the masses. This Volonté Générale can only be legitimate when it is a perfect reflection of legitimate society. This legitimate society divides peolple into minitudes of pre-defined interest groups. Since, in their catechisms of their secular faith, kyriarchical traits, such as “Whiteness” or “heteronormativity” grants privilege and power within our society, which is similarly divinely revealed to be build upon oppression, those groups have an undo influence. Thus, to balance this over-influence in order to achieve a perfect balance and thus become a legitimate democratic society, it is insufficient just to achieve equality of representation, but to actually suppress the privileged voices, if not reduce their influence to less than zero.
But their view towards legitimacy is not sufficient per se to elevate this “democratic” society towards a motile consciousness thus achieving apotheosis of the Volonté Générale as the true god that must be supplicated to. To achieve this apotheosis, the body of the god, i.e. the demos, must be purified of sin. This sin, then, is merely the impure thoughts unbecoming of divinity. To wit: Thoughtcrime is sin, and the body politic must be purged of impure thought in order to protect the purity and essence of said body’s democratic functions.
Since the divine and legitimate democratic society is antithetical to such incorrect thinking, it follows that incorrect decisions—or even just impure motive—are declared antithetical to “democracy” as the Progressive Left see it, no matter how broad the support for said decisions. The corollary, of course, is that the pre-determined correct thinking is always democratic, even if great majorities stand against it.
The Progressives’ “rule of law”, then, is not consist with the actual rule of law, nor is their view of “democracy” actually reflective of actual democracy. The declaration of impure thought or motive, then, taints any actual decision. This can be seen by the declaration of invalidity of both of President Trump’s executive orders regarding the temporary travel bans.
Because the executive orders are declared to be motivated by animus, they are considered invalid, even if the orders themselves are not racist or that there are legitimate non-animus related reasons therefor. However, once declared to be sinful by animus, the positions are always considered invalid because no matter what, advancing those positions, even if they are acknowledged as otherwise being legitimate, also advances the declared animus.
By declaring that everything is motivated by an animus, the person so accused ceased to be a person and become nothingmore than animus incarnate. By declaring something motivated by animus, it is forever prohibited even if there is a clear non-animus rational or even if there is no animus, becuase the the “animus” will have been implemented even if the measure is neutral and there is no actual animus. “Animus”, then becomes like “White Privilege” or “Heteronormativity”, a mystical miasma of malfeasance – a spiritual evil.
