The long-rising blue tide that has colored American politics and values may have crested, but it could still have enough momentum to make it through the election year. Even if Trump is somehow reelected, the wielders of power and influence — academia, media, Wall Street, Hollywood, the big-tech oligarchs, the dominant nonprofits, and the governmental apparat — will remain deep blue for the foreseeable future.

It’s a red tide, as in communist red.
The Left has been cementing control over all of the named institutions for 3, probably 4 decades. It’s going to take more than electing Trump a time or two to roll that back.
So KotkinIdiot, we should all sit back and just embrace the inevitable, huh?
Not.
The libs can fall just as fast. Stay strong
we must defund them...
give up professional sports...give up cable...stop eating at chain restaurants...stop giving to most charities...live simpler and cleaner and healthier....
support local shops and restaurants..support local farmers...learn to play card games and plan socializing around it for fun and entertainment instead of sitting watching million dollar babies...give to only well run local charities, ideally based on Godly principles...
never ever vote more taxes...
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

Title doesnt really support the article. I have to say the more Trump hammers on Dem run cities, and Dems being in power there for decades with nothing but increasing negatives to show, there will be more exodus and others looking to vote for change.
Another Surrender RINO get along go along GOPe National Review “serious tome”
How to destroy the Left? Return to a gold-backed monetary system.
Our printed, fiat money and massive debt it entails fuels the growth of government, all its hangers-on and dependents, and crony-capitalism.
Take away from them the power to issue paper money, as our Founders always intended, and they all disappear immediately.
Best advice ever! I wish more folks would take it.
Not that I disagree, but you left public so-called schooling out of your list, and that’s 90% of the problem.

We could only be so lucky. It wasn’t “Team Blue” that did nothing when they learned the FBI was lying to Congress in 2017. It was the GOP House that did that. It’s wasn’t Team Blue that did nothing as a hoax impeachment was launched against a sitting GOP POTUS. It was the GOP Senate that did that.
Had we had an opposition party to Team Blue in 2017 we certainly would have known then that the core source of the Clinton Dossier was a Russian spy. Instead the Russia hoax has carried on for the entirity of President Trump’s term.
Our institutions of government are broken and it is a fundamentally bipartisan issue.
” Even if Trump is somehow reelected,” Remember where this is coming from. As we get closer to Election Day the lies and distortions will come thicker and faster. It is 3:23 EST now and the Dow Index is up 422 points. Fifteen minutes ago the Wall Street Journal posted a story headlined “US Stocks Point to Fourth Week of Decline,” and have a picture of Nancy Pelosi with the story. LIES LIES LIES - coming in stronger and stronger.
Cheered on by NR.
1) People wise up and vote the left out
2) Conservatives rise up and wipe the left off the face of the earth
3) We continue to become more & more left, Conservative areas become smaller and marginalized. BLM and La Rasa eventually turn on and kill White Liberals then fight each other over the scraps of the 3rd world shell of what was once America.
Sad to say, 3 is most likely.
Live cleaner, simpler lives.
We’re going to have to by force. The libs next target is meat and gas cars. Who knows what’s next.

We canceled cable many years ago and greatly reduced going to movies. We watch older television shows online and are disgusted at the last few years of standing characters finding out “they’ve always been trisexual,” creeping into every show. When that happens, we’ve stopped watching.
We don’t visit liberal cities in liberal states, unless a work trip pays for one of us.
We now are maintaining we will not work or live in a liberal run state or city and we also only consider Texas, Florida, and Tennessee as options for those. We believe the Income Tax encourages crime and welfare, because neither pay income taxes and put the complete burden on hard workers.
I could go on.
