Quantum Leap Is Coming Back

I was a loyal viewer of the original Quantum Leap series.

Yes, I know some of the episodes were pushing liberal themes.

Dennis Prager is right. Liberal and Leftist are not synonymous.

There's a revival of the series that's premiering soon.

I hope it is good.

If it is good, I hope it does well.

I hope it isn't Leftist/partisan Democrat. These days, though I expect it will be.

My pessimistic side predicts we can expect the following elements, provided there are enough episodes made:
  • Climate change alarmism
  • Critical race theory (USA is racist, on stolen land, built on slavery, etc.)
  • Negative digs at Trump (he is portrayed briefly as a child in the original series) and/or his voters and/or his SCOTUS picks
  • Digs at prominent Republicans from the last 30 years
  • Promotion of Leftist ideology regarding gender (transgender, genderfluid, non-binary, etc.)
  • Affirmation of marriage neutering
  • Negativity about private firearm ownership
  • Police corruption and brutality
  • Pro-union messages
  • The "gender wage gap"
  • Pro government expansion messages (government health care, for example)
  • Greedy landlords and business owners/executives
  • "Dreamers" and "undocumented immigrants" with hearts of gold and contributions to the USA
  • Negative portrayals of someone concerned about degradation of media/arts/entertainment
We'll see. Maybe someone should make bingo cards?

I predict we will NOT see the show:
  • Making a point of the positive benefits of a conservative, churchgoing married feminine heterosexual "cisgender" stay-at-home mother and masculine heterosexual "cisgender" breadwinning father 
  • Portraying the perils of underage sex, other than showing screaming protestors when the minor goes for an abortion
  • Pointing out the harms of a lack of school choice
  • Depicting benefits of homeschooling
  • Honorable people being compelled to pay money to unions even though they object to the political spending of the unions
  • Portraying the hate from the Left against honorable "Black Conservatives"
  • Climate alarmists making dire predictions in the past that have since proven false
UPDATE: 12 episodes in, here are my observations.

Where the Leftist Central Planners Want to Force Us To Go

While small businesses, including restaurants, were locked down by government force, Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom partied with a group at an expensive restaurant. The California Democrats have decreed gasoline-powered automobiles won't be sold in California in a little over a decade from now, while the state's power infrastructure can't handle current demand for electricity. In the county of Los Angeles, freeways can't handle existing traffic, but the "road fund" is regularly spent on buses, rail, and non-transportation projects and programs.

What the Leftist Democrats are doing in California - which they'd love to take national - might not make sense to someone who has common sense, who doesn't seek to control others. But what the power-hungry social engineering central planners are doing makes sense when you realize what they want, and they've publicly said so and/or demonstrated, is to:
  • Install most of our children into government-controlled institutions from six weeks of age into their twenties.
  • Get those children dependent on government for most of their meals, served at or distributed by the schools.
  • Move most of us into large apartment buildings, especially ones with commercial space on the first level or three.
  • Ensure those apartment units will have water and power controlled and limited by remote, and waste (like the trash you throw away) controlled, limited, and analyzed.
  • Force us out of automobiles we control into government-run mass transit.
  • Discourage entrepreneurship and small businesses so that we're all working for government or large businesses, which can be more easily controlled by government, or dependent on government redistribution of money.
  • Get most of us dependent on the state for health care.
  • Disarm private citizens when it comes to defending themselves, their family, or their property.
We can see this at the state level and with the counties and cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. They are constantly seeking to make government bigger, more intrusive, and more controlling, and get as many of us dependent on government as they can.

They hate liberty for anyone other than their own little clique.

Resist Leftism. Defeat Leftism. Defend Liberty.
