Dennis Prager argues the political left is in panic mode because it's losing power, and that groups like NewsGuard, Media Matters, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa are lying to protect their influence. He frames American politics as a battle for truth against what he sees as insidious evil, with no guarantee the public will ultimately awaken to it.
I have never made up good news for you or good predictions for you to make you feel good. I've gambled because you could lose listeners if you don't fill them with optimism. But I wasn't filled with optimism. I don't have particular great use for either optimism or pessimism. I'm a big fan of realism and fighting. That's, that's what animates me. I can't speak for you. So if I tell you that there is reason, reason, that it is rational to see moral progress against the left, which is what moral progress in America is synonymous with, the thugs on the left are in panic mode. It is clear they are in panic mode. That's why they continue to lie, whether it's NewsGuard or Media Matters or BLM or Antifa. They are— they don't think they're winning right now, which is brand new for, I would say, over decades. They're not winning. It takes a long time for the great bulk of people to awaken to insidious evil, but it may in fact happen. There are no guarantees. That's the way what life works. There are no guarantees. But these people who lie in the name of being progressive because truth is the enemy of the left.
