Most Americans will keep taking the free birth control, free abortions, extended unemployment, disability, union perks, and everything else they voted for, and buy whatever spin the MSM puts on this.

There’s something called the Overton Window. In, say, 1965 somebody advances the idea that sex with children should be legal. It’s an outrage but then they advance the idea that homosexuals should be allowed to wed. Well, that seems so much more reasonable that it is eventually accepted. Once they get that they start advancing the idea that it’s okay for school teachers to have sex with their students. It’s an outrage, but over the years it starts to happen. You can’t ignore it. As time goes on and more teachers do it the penalty gets less and less. Then, perhaps 50 years later, they advance the idea that pedophilia is normal and should allowed. After all, it’s multi-cultural. Already, the military is not allowed to be critical of pedophilia in Afghanistan. So, from 1965 to now, or perhaps tomorrow, an idea that was first vilified becomes the new normal.

Anybody who fights the incremental progression is vilified by the powerful media machine, special purpose organizations and even the government. I’ve never read how to undo the Overton Window effect. I suspect that it can’t be undone.

The implication that at some point there will be a (fill in the blanks) revolt simply won’t come to pass. To have a revolt you’d need popular support and enough people are far enough along the many Overton Window curves that a popular revolt isn’t the answer. I suggest that public education is one answer, but that has been coopted to serve the Progressive agenda.

You’ll do what?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

We’ll all continue to stand on the sidelines muttering in absolute disbelief as the re-education train pulls into the station.

Modern history so far teaches us one thing...when the “isms” come calling nobody knows how to stop it.
