It is up to the individual not to become a pawn of anyone.
Most Engineering Students and Practicing Engineers like myself from 1970 - 2017 work to build a better life for themselves and their community. If we can't do that without becoming pawns of sinister forces in the United States of America, where can we go?
We need a critical mass of conservatives going into the liberal arts, journalism, the media, arts, corporate business, law, and politics.
No number of conservative engineers is going to stem the tide of liberal idiocy that is metastasizing in the West.
