It is all in the perception isn’t it? If the right thinks they’ve already lost so many just give up, that’s they way it was in the past. It can be pretty defeating when you see over and over again how the left is so adored by everybody(lamestream media’s version and skewed polls).
True, and that's why on this board I have made it part of my mission to deliberately counteract defeatism on our side. It is created by smoke and mirrors on the left, and that is bad enough, but then we perpetuate it by accepting the lie as true. That's got to stop. Confidence and optimism, when grounded in reality, are among our most powerful weapons against the left. Each of us, you, your husband, me, we all contribute to our own eventual defeat to the extent we believe the manufactured illusions of the left. These lies are designed on purpose to discourage us and take us out of the fight, but whether that design works depends on us. If we are on the side of what is right and good and real, then Heaven itself is with us, and nothing should discourage us ever.
