The left doesn’t need orders from the top. Indeed, more often than not the left is governed from the bottom up. This isn’t easy for conservatives to understand. Most of us, by disposition, respect hierarchy.
A father at the head of the family, a boss at the head of a company, a president at the head of a country, a pope at the head of a church, and so on. So it’s natural for us to imagine that everyone looks at the world this way.
That’s one reason why when we see some new left-wing front open up in the culture war, we try to find the hidden hand controlling it — the George Soros, or the Michael Bloomberg, or Joe Biden. But most of the time, the left doesn’t think this way. More importantly, the left doesn’t act this way.
