Everyday I'm becoming increasingly more convinced that Michael Knowles' is right on the money when he says leftists have replaced religion with politics. You've got their orthodoxy (liberal narrative and the victim hierarchy), the original sins of whiteness and male privilege, the scientists are their high priests and heresies for speaking against them, indulgences in the form of carbon tax credits, prophets of doom with global warming, NBC had a climate confessional, hell you can even be raised from the dead...it's only to vote, but still.
From the 60s until 2008 or so, the Left was primarily centered around the idea of moral relativism. “What’s true for you may not be true for me.” They did this to advance their social agenda and sold us the idea that conservatives were the ones who imposed their morality on everyone and that liberalism was about being free and open-minded.
During the Obama years, the Left officially asserted themselves as the Moral Authority of America. You can’t turn on the tv without seeing some Commie pontificate about Trump attacking “the integrity of our institutions” and uttering phrases like “This is not who we are as Americans.” In other words, if you don’t agree with the Left on every issue, you’re not American.
No_Malarkey_Joe was describing the current symptoms, but the underlying philosophy is Marxism.
It's very safe to say that... if you find emerging misery, hate, and degradation of a society being driven mostly by envy, anywhere in the world, Marxism (or the popular nom du jour, such as "democratic socialism") is the root cause.

Yes, Marxism is their religion.

As if some community organizer from Chicago who spent their formative years outside of America would know what being an American was all about.
Bingo.
