I don’t know how you overcome a 47% and GROWING taker society.
How do you undo decades of “Grand Bargains”, out of control spending
and open borders these DC Hacks on both sides have brought us.

I also posit that we WAY over estimate how many people actually think much at all about politics, or what actually is going on. So trying to assign meaning to people who are increasingly getting lost in the Facebook/Twitter/Entertainment/Sports Matrix style bubble and just make a snap decision based on a few words is silly.

And THAT even goes for a lot of people who vote on the Right. Some of the reasons people have for voting, either side, just blow my mind.

There are, relatively, VERY few people who vote out of reasoned political view.

There is a reason political campaigns are as shallow as a puddle of water.

By becoming a member of a radical giving society, or as CS Lewis put it:
"Do not waste time bothering whether you ʿloveʾ your neighbour; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him."
~ Mere Christianity

How do you undo decades of “Grand Bargains”, out of control spending

How do you change someone? If you show them real love, do you think they will stay as they are?
The one thing the liberals do not offer is love, if you fall out of step with them their approval is vanished -- indeed, our society is in desperate need of real love.
