Surrendering in the culture war will mark the end of the Republican Party as a national party
*********
Nobody is surrendering the culture wars in 2023, because the society, including conservative & Republican people already surrendered the culture war 30 or 40 years ago.
Pat Buchanan was talking about it 30 years ago and was ostracized & slandered by his own party.
Furthermore, conservatives don’t have the stomach or the capabilities to do what’s necessary to win the culture war.
You would need to completely turn off the education & entertainment sectors while creating independent businesses that aren’t dependent on government financing.
It means pulling kids out of school, not owning a TV, not putting your money into any woke causes, owning & working in only essential businesses, complete boycott of every communist organizations in the country.
In other words, things that will “never happen” with the current skills & mentality of the populace.
If you are a Democrat, yes, that is true, but I am not. He created a hockey stick of spending, over the ridiculous level Obama did. He let in higher levels of illegals come in than Obama did. (Until COVID lockdowns came along.) Oh yeah, he put unelected Fauci in charge of the nation. He packed the Supreme Court with lefty Anthony Kennedy clerks. He ended Republican opposition to ACA. He packed his administration with every RINO he could possibly find. He put Nancy Pelosi in charge of our country for four years. He made sure Joe Biden was president. He promoted the LGBT movement to supremacy. No other president has done more to help the Democrats in U.S. history.
All of those issues flow out of the Socialism and Marxism that has been eating at America for over 100 years.
*********************
That’s one way to look at the good & evil paradigm that has existed since whenever you date human existence.
I have two questions for you.
In the last 100 years in the battle against Marxism & Socialism.
Are the Socialists or Capitalists winning the baseball game?
&
What inning are we in?
“Don’t worry about culture stuff”…because Trump displayed full-on acceptance and celebration of “LGBT” “lifestyle”.
Keep playing smoke and mirrors, Kellyanne.
But in a previous post you stated, “ the freak show will eventually ‘burn out’ with or without DeSantis the woke warrior”.
It’s the Top of the 8th, and we are down 2 Runs.
In my lifetime not just LGBT but myriad social ills have been increasing exponentially. Yup, since the watershed era of hippies.
But indeed Marxism has been gradually eating away over the past century+, and it’s just more obvious since the ‘60s (hence exponential reference).
Don’t think this is the end. I sure hope people will put the kibosh on this garbage, but we’re so “sick” as a nation the enablers will likely win as they get sicker too Along with the sick people they promote (and I mean everyone….rioters, etc).
EXACTLY.
Trying to change the point…sort of like Kellyanne trying to obfuscate issues.
They’re divorcing.

Amazing how EverTrumpers pick on a catchy slogan and keep repeating it.
Central va is “who else you going to vote for?”
Yours is “he’s the best in YOUR lifetime”.
Hell no. Not in mine.
As I stated before, you must be real young.

Online Reb,
I agree with this statement, but wasn’t born until 1971 so my reference point is limited.
Unlike members of Free Republic who actually witnessed & lived through the radical liberal cultural revolution of the late 1960’s.
Reagan was the best, and he Propheticly warned of Cultural Marxism in his Farwell Address.
I’d like to think that if Americans had some purpose, that stuff would just fall away. Probably not, but I don’t see woke being defeated either until people have something more important to worry about and work on.
Was born in 1977. Was glad I grew up in the 80’s, it was a great time in America from 83 on.
Doing a brilliant job as governor is campaigning. That is loading the shotgun.

It sure got better after the early 1980’s recession ended.
From a material wealth stand point, I’m not sure we’ll get another economic run like the one from 1984-2007.
But I’m usually wrong, so who knows.
No, he is step-by-step, winning good victories, that we need to repeat across the country.
That’s true, but the whole culture reflected Regan, in the tv shows and the movies.
Reagan. He was one of the top 3 or 4 Presidents.
