This was on Gab yesterday on the occasion of our President’s 75th birthday:
As I read it occurred to me that at one time the Left would have had us believe that the only marginalized people in the world were women and people of color. The term was first used in this context in 1968 as Civil Rights and Women’s Rights ramped into high gear. Merriam-Webster formalized its meaning with the following entry:
marginalize: transitive verb - to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group
synonyms: diminish, demean, belittle, denigrate, depreciate, discredit, degrade, deride, discount, dismiss
The progressive Left was so in love with the concept of marginalization that over the decades they honed and perfected the technique in order to use it against their political enemies. And they did so with impunity for years: conservative politicians, Christians, anyone who crossed them.
The media and HR people droned the concept into your head, insisting that such “marginalization” was real, discriminatory and constituted prejudice. Here are the ways they told us marginalization occurred in the workplace:
Assuming someone will act a certain way based on stereotypes about their identity (Orange Man Bad)
Denying professional opportunities because of aspects of someone’s identity (like, being President)
Not providing equal access to resources because of someone’s identity (like, oh say, an unbiased media)
Derogatory language or bullying (like, constantly, for 5 years)
Singling someone out because of their religious beliefs or cultural practices (like America First)
Refusing to recognize good work or consistently taking credit for another’s work (anything good: Obama and Pelosi; anything bad: Trump)
Finding ways to isolate someone, like purposefully leaving them out of meetings (like not providing full and accurate info from DOJ, etc., etc.)
Blatant disrespect (constantly)
It was a really bad thing. Unless you used it against your mortal enemies. Hence conservative after conservative standing in the way of the Left’s “progress” was taken out over the years via application of new political methods of marginalization: ridicule, unchecked lies, and prosecutorial malfeasance.
By the time their mortal enemy came along in the form of Donald J. Trump the Democrat/Media Complex were well practiced, bold and dangerous. For 5 years they pummeled this man, his career and his family with lies and manufactured hysteria. And even then,The Donald could not be marginalized enough without blatant cheating and voter fraud.
So here we are: the marginalized non-woke white and black people whose votes have been suppressed, whose voices have been silenced.
The Biden Administration has a real problem: nobody hires 100 lawyers to hide an election victory.

Nobody has the DOJ interfere in a state ordered audit because they won fair and square.
It’s not as if we hadn’t been warned.
Happy Birthday Mr. President, From the Marginalized Majority
