Sad to think it, but my best hope is that this 1619 (bs)book, which already has influenced and will continue to influence generations of leftists, will be in 100 years an historical curiosity as is today Croly’s “Promise of American Life.”

As posters have stated here, the damage is done. But it is and will be important for patriots to point to it and its false premises and enduring lies.

I don't think the damage is done and can't be reversed, but I do think the damage is likely to be left in place due to inaction. Politics is downstream of culture, and because of this the fastest route from point A to point B is NOT a straight line.

Most of our people don't recognize this and you can see it, because far too much thought is political while far too little thought is cultural. If we are ever lucky enough to be graced by another person such as Andrew Breitbart who is capable of getting conservatives to get up in non-election years and do cultural activities such as Tea Party marches, then it can be reversed.

If not, our fate is sealed. But it's on us.
