There have been many such events.
Cleopatra's death resulted in the fall of Egypt and changed world society forever.
The US civil war changed the US from a collection of States to a united collective.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor brought the US to the forefront of world power.
Scientifically, there have been many such points in the human timeline. For example, the discovery of antibiotics and vaccines, radiation, magnetic imaging, the mapping of the human genome, and so on. Each one of those things has changed the world.
Technology is yet another area of our existence which has gone through inflections points. From the invention of the wheel, the Antikythera mechanism, the light bulb, computers, cell phones and satellite communication, rockets into space.
The list goes on as each new discovery leads us ever onward into the future. And each one was resisted by some faction in one form or another.
I believe Trump's election in 2016 was such an inflection point. I believe that his election and the possible second term is a statement to tomorrow. That today's forward looking peoples have seen that the old ways aren't going to get us further down the road of human development.
Totalitarianism and oppression don't create innovation. It doesn't give rise to satisfaction. It especially doesn't inspire anyone to do anything other than to not do anything at all for fear of being noticed and punished.
Today's Left is attempting to use yesterday's tactics to suppress and oppress the wonders that today's people enjoy. Censorship to prevent ideas and liberty from spreading. High taxation to prevent independent financial worth. Social terrorism to prevent people from joining together as a coalition to fight against the above.
This November we are going to have to choose between the unending stagnation of yesterday or an unknown tomorrow.
I believe it is the "unknown" part of that statement that gives rise to the resistance against Trump's Presidency. They are afraid. They are afraid that in the new tomorrow they are redundant, irrelevant, outdated, and of no importance.
They are wrong.
Everyone matters. Even those who engage in resisting change matter because they show us that we should not give in to fear. We should not fear change merely out of fear of failure.
I believe we are at an inflection point. I also believe that no matter how hard the Left tries to deny and avoid it, the inflection will occur. The only question here is whether it changes and goes in the direction we choose, or we let blind chance decide.
Either way, the Left loses.
My thought for the day.
