It's one thing to get 'words mean things'
It's an entirely other thing to get 'words are actions'
If you get the second, then you get Trump's success so far. But if you stop at meaning, you miss the actual impact they have.
When Trump talks about 'negotiating' ... he's not talking about finding the perfect mix of two things that add up to be 100% - both parties taking x portion of the 100%. He's talking about shifting what's on the table, or shifting perceptions of what's on the table.
Right now, the reason abortion has so much support is that it's not seen for what it is. That's the only thing that matters. Trashing Planned Parenthood doesn't shift the conversation at all. However, disrupting the Dem talking point that 'Conversavatives are against abortion equals Conservatives are against women and choice and reproductive FREEDOM' ... that changes the nature of the conversation. No ARGUMENT is going to stop abortion, the dems just dig their heals in and start killing MORE bablies - they make it fashonable - a badge of pride. Same reason everyone thinks they are gay or bi now. You have to let them reflect, let the country reflect, withdraw all government support for it, undermine the propaganda. But attacking it has gotten us where we are.
So I would argue that those most adamant about cursing people to hell for not realizing how evil it is, are helping to keep it in place. Have you ever heard the saying "Resistance Creates Persistence"? ... I hate cliche's, but sometimes, they fit.
You are so on point here!
Thank you :)
Good news is that the younger generation does not support abortion like the older generation does.
