THREAD: Leftism isn’t a political ideology anymore, it’s a religion complete with heavily policed virtues that determine your purity, public rituals, confession, holy war, penance, daily proclamations that validate your loyalty, shunning, excommunication and evangelism.
PUBLIC RITUALS
- Look no further than the Democrat stunt wearing Kenta cloth to signal their dedication to the cause
- Democrats coordinating to all wear white at the State of the Union address

CONFESSION AND PENANCE
- Guilty white leftists apologizing for their original sin of being born with white privilege and giving money to make up for it
- You must make up for violations against the doctrine by apologizing in a humiliating manner (see Mayor Jacob Frey)

EXCOMMUNICATION & SHUNNING
- Open hiring discrimination of people who disagree with you
- Not letting well known Republicans eat in public without harassment
- Doxxing & trying to get people fired for opinions they don’t like or not adhering to leftism + cancel culture in general

HOLY WAR
- Look no further than the riots we just had waged largely by the far left
- In their jihad the only redemption for infidels is for them to come on bended knee fully groveling and ready to convert... Even then many times it’s not enough to save you

HEAVILY POLICED VIRTUES
- You have to be pro abortion at all times, for all reasons and the state should pay for it. Even DNC chair Tom Perez says supporting abortion is "non-negotiable" for Democrats

HEAVILY POLICED VIRTUES
- You must subscribe to the idea that biology isn’t real or keep quiet because if you publicly dissent you could be publicly reprimanded. See J.K. Rowling.

HEAVILY POLICED VIRTUES
- Everything Trump does is bad (this is very important). Dissenting from this is grounds for possible excommunication. See the Michigan rep who said hydroxychloroquine helped her recover and was censured by the Democratic Party for doing so.

TITHING
- Constant Demands that you give to left wing causes or politicians and extra social cred if you publicly prove that you gave a sizeable donation.

EVANGELISM
- They evangelize through emotional manipulation by saying if you’re a good person who cares about the poor, the environment or minorities, you must believe in the doctrine of leftism. It’s the only way. Then they repeat it 5000x until many believe it.

The left has firmly cemented themselves as a hedonistic puritan fusion religion. It’s a rigid religion where you must be okay with homeless shooting up on your street but simultaneously be committed to threatening to end people’s career if they think women are born with a vagina.
They all consider their religion to be the arbiter of what’s moral and right. The leap from political party to religion wasn’t a far one. It was a step by step accomplishment for the left. That little by little approach made so many ignore what was coming... and now it’s here.
I don’t know what the end result will be from this leap but I do know that I’m proud to be a heretic in their eyes.
Feel free to add more examples of how the left has become a rigid religion. I’m writing an op-ed about this and will use any good examples you all reply with.
