While human beings seek and need meaning more than anything except food, no animal needs or seeks meaning.
The problem is that just as the need for food has no inherent moral quality, the need for meaning has no inherent moral quality.
So what is to give meaning to Americans who have lost all or most of the above? Something has to, because the need for meaning is as built in and as universal as the need for food.
The answer is self-evident: Whatever it is, it must provide meaning without being dependent on family, community, religion, or patriotism.
All of leftism consists of meaning providers that replace community, religion, America, and even family.
The life-filling meaning of leftism is most evident in the constant leftist use of the term "Existential threat."
What could possibly give those devoid of meaning more meaning than that?
