If the True Conservatives cannot sway the majority here, on FR, how much chance do they have out there in the big wide real world? It simply won’t happen, so it is a waste of time to continually rant hatefully against anyone who doesn’t meet a rigidly held list of requirements.

But, we CAN!

It is merely not happening FAST enough for some; so they give up!

Yes, we can?

Please supply some evidence. Years of trying without success indicates not slowness, but impossibility. It isn’t *giving up* due to some sort of impatience, it is observing, analyzing results and making a conclusion about reality.

Every day, those of who grew up in a different era, a different country, with different values from those prevalent today die or become incapacitated and two more leftwing inculcated voters either come of age or otherwise enter the electorate to replace them.

Some of us grow up. Some of us change. I’m one of those, as my handle suggests. However, of those I once counted as friends, all but one have simply hardened their PC, Democrat, leftward stance over the past 30 years. I chose different friends.

Doing the same thing over and over, despite negative results equals.....you know the answer.

We lost the culture war due to intransigence and incrementalism. We will only regain it by an incrementalism of our own and that means we pick our battles, for now. Getting rid of the Marxists is the main order of business for this election. Hatred and nasty rants among ourselves against the only challenger is not going to accomplish anything positive. It aids our opponents and fractures our own base.
