Sadly, the single best asset the R’s have right now is the complete incompetence & arrogance of the D/lib leadership.
What President Trump showed is that those institutions no longer have the power they once did. Their power is in decline, and the Left’s power is declining with it.
“Without the Establishment media, academia, and Hollywood, the Left has nothing.”
They also, unfortunately, have much of the country’s business community...witness Target, Amazon, Kellog, Progressive Insurance etc. At present, the MSM is holding fast and shows no capacity for objectivity even though there is some evidence that people are no longer buying what they are selling. Same is true of Hollywood and education. But there is a way to go before any of those leftist institutions can be trusted to foster good will, virtue, common values and cooperation.
I suspect you’re right. And I hope so.
I also think the American people are beginning to turn back the tide on the liberal-lunacy.
But...and this is my point...if the Repubs fail to provide a positive message, strong leadership and demonstrate that conservative values are radically better than liberal ‘values’, then this country will remain in serious trouble. Trump, IMO, gets significant credit for cracking the egg and showing the Repubs that you have to fight hard. That message needs to sink down a lot deeper and current GOP leadership is simply not up to the task.
