A different approach might be more effective.

It is a challenge to think outside of boxes to an integrated goal. And yet God expects exactly that.

Both left and right are often found paralyzed in a “the government must” trap. Where the best answer may be found entirely outside the machinations of government.

Leftists cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be bargained with. They violently assault those who express different viewpoints. Their end goal is a tyrannical police state where the productive are robbed of the fruits of their labors to support a do nothing class at slightly better than poverty level and a political class in extreme luxury.

They have violently rejected the results of a legitimate election. We have absolutely no common ground with these people. They will not rest until we’re either enslaved, we are killed or they are killed. So what’s next?

One side is right, and the other is wrong.

Finding common ground means that the Left admits they are wrong, period.

Finding common ground with leftists? That’s what conservatives, for the most part, have been trying to do for the last 75 years. And each time a new attempt at some resolution is met, it inevitably results in a move slightly further to the left. That’s the story of the growth of socialism in America...hundreds of attempts to find common ground that slowly, inch by inch, have pushed us to the cultural insanity that we currently endure. None of this was explicitly forced upon us...we have compromised our way to cultural suicide.

Alinsky radicalism is being applied - “Accuse the opposition of the very thing you are doing and make them defend themselves”.

I think this would work with some people but would be worse than useless with others. I have seen people on social media, some of whom I actually know , along some politicians and media types, not to mention the snowflakes, who evidently do not have their own thoughts about political matters. They just regurgitate taking points. I have seen different people giving the same arguments almost word for word. It’s like the Pod People got to them. I am generally an open-minded person and naturally reach out to build consensus. There is no reaching out to these people.

>> Leftists, for instance, care more about fairness than ...

Absolute BS. They’re control freaks forcing the lowest common denominator of human existence.

The author is delusional or insincere. Street activism has nothing to do with changing minds. It is a demonstration of power. Rationally arguing with irrational people is delusional. If all they respect is power, show them some.

What they are really trying to transmit is that no one should oppose liberals like Antifa.
