I hope you are right. And even if you are, we need to be more than merely awake, as the results of the last election ought to have taught us: we need to organize. The other side can do that using a national organization (the Democrat Party) as an umbrella because they are collectivists who believe in centralized government power.

Our mistake, I now believe, has been to believe that a similar national organization (the Republican Party) can serve the same function for us. But they can't - because such an organization given a leadership role will always seek to consolidate its own power and control in the seat of national government (Washington, DC), to the detriment of the various individuals and coalitions that it depends upon for support.

What we end up with is what we have seen: the same, but less. Collectivism on the cheap. Dime store socialism. Surrender masquerading as cooperation.

The answer is to remove power from Washington by enforcing the Constitution and returning power to individuals to manage their own lives in each state and each locality. But how do we do that when virtually all of our public institutions are controlled by leftists committed to the consolidation of power and control in a centralized government structure?

Perhaps we may begin by using their own guerrilla tactics against them, and why not, now that they are in charge and seeking to remove all practical means by which we might oppose them?
