This is simply a battle victory in a much larger war.
While the Democrat party is having issues right now, their Lefty handlers are not.
We’d do well NOT to underestimate them. They’ve been at this game unchecked for over a hundred years now, and have demonstrated time and again that they are out to outlast us. They have an unbroken line of psychosis all the way back to Marx and Engels, which they propagate through the colleges and universities.
Their disarray is temporary, at best, and taking it at face value as “collapse” is extraordinarily foolish.
What we’re seeing as a win, THEY see as a setback. Lenin said in his 1904 book, “One Step Forward, Two Steps Back”, on the road to any eventual goal, there must be a temporary step backward.”
That’s all this is to them.
Their definition of peace is “the absence of opposition to our goals”. Translation: They’re in a perpetual state of WAR with us.
We’d do well to understand that and act accordingly towards them, in defense of all we hold dear.
” ... temporary step backward.” That’s all this is to them.”
Certainly true. However, this time around, I think we are in a position where we can *really* fight back. We seem to have our pieces lined up where we can deliver a serious blow to the left that’ll cripple them for a LONG time.
Reagan was the left’s last setback. They recovered after 4 years of HW Bush and have made strides sicne then.
Assuming the GOP is on board with Trump, they need to start turning all of their gains at the State level into Federal House and Senate seats. The GOP has the opportunity to crush the Democrats in 2018. All Trump has to do is deliver on promises (i.e. execute). The GOP can then parlay the executive success stories into securing more House and, more importantly, more Senate seats to deliver *real* substantial, significant change leading into the 2020 election (not the “hope-n-change” hell we’ve lived through these past 8 years).
There’s certainly going to be plenty of wildcards played both at home and abroad between now and then. Still, overall, I like where we are at right now. While I always suspected Obama would be replaced with a Republican, after the 2008 and 2012 elections I never thought in a million years we’d have someone seemingly dedicated to restoring the USA and outright defeating the left in a rather short period of time.
So, yes, while we have have to remain cognizant of the fact that the left doesn’t want to die, we also have to recognize the opportunity before us, fire up the troops, and take a shot at winning this thing so that we don’t have to listen to the merits of socialism/communism in this country for a long, long time :-). That involves risk, of course, but I can’t think of any other time in recent history where we have some decent odds to win this thing for the long haul.
