I think the Tech Oligarchs are once again creating "A Time For Choosing". They seem to be the "intellectual elite" that feels entitled to make decisions for all of us while our freedom is "cancelled".
Everyone should remember that Ronald Reagan gave this speech at the lowest point in recent GOP history. Goldwater was about to get landslide crushed by LBJ. Regan DID NOT give up and go into his safe space, mumbling “We’ll never win...”
Reagan got a lot done and made a big impact because he understand and lived by some basic principles.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good, i.e. “The guy who agrees with me 80% of the time is not my enemy” (no purity test purge mindset)
And understand the there are always sometimes in politics compromises and not be be greedy - “I’d rather get half a loaf today and come back tomorrow and fight for the other half”, rather than be a greedy pig and get nothing. You cannot implement anything unless you get elected.
And never, ever give up but if your cause is just you always must keep fighting.
This speech is the singular most important in American history.
