Conservatives often slept through the woke revolution only to awaken to a country their apathy allowed to transform into one they no longer recognize. Can they finally breathe fire?
Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst.
How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us?
They don’t see much backing for the current wide-open borders and unchecked illegal immigration, yet it continues.
Conservatives feel that most Americans reject the trend of biological men dominating female sporting events.
They fear American jurisprudence has become now vastly weaponized and warped.
Certainly, Donald Trump will be more likely indicted by a politicized New York City prosecutor for supposedly overvaluing his net worth over a decade ago than would be a current violent street criminal clubbing a subway commuter.
In 2020 torching a federal courthouse or massing at the White House grounds, in efforts to get at the president, earned either few arrests and little or no jail time. In 2021, if one entered the Capitol and illegally paraded around like a buffoon, he could get a five-year prison sentence.
Traditionalists feel that sky-high energy prices, out-of-control urban crime, a depressed economy, high interest rates, and a politicized FBI, CIA, Justice Department, and Pentagon are all needlessly self-created messes.
How then did these extremist policies that have little popular support become institutionalized?
Conservatives, by their nature and unlike the Left, are more inclined to accept existing institutions rather than to radically alter or destroy them.
They were asleep at the wheel in 2020, when left-wing-funded lawsuits radically transformed Election Day in many states into a mere construct. Some 70 percent of the electorate in key precincts voted by mail or early...

Not after last nights showing in congress.
We need to undo each and every one of the 45 goals listed in “The Naked Communist”. All were accomplished in just three decades. It won’t be undone; for, conservatives are not cohesive nor can they formulate and then follow a long range plan. They seem to think that voting and angry blogging is sufficient.
They are heterophobes. Use the term.
Like the Roman Empire, we will fo nothing significant to save it, merely watch it go down.
God has the plan and pain is involved, again.
Is there still a silent conservative majority?
College, the media, welfare, and immigration have made this a different country than it was in the Seventies and Eighties.
I like it.
Thanks.
Indeed and start in D.C. many departments are the ATM for them.
“But the Left does not enjoy majority public support. And now it has managed the impossible—to goad the normally comatose conservative dragon to awaken.
And it is just starting to breathe fire.”
I wonder how long it will be before we go back to sleep.
We win one small skirmish and we think we won the war.
Yep that’s always the excuse used for doing nothing.
I’m too busy sloshing around this cesspool to do anything about it.
Exactly!
Someone suggested the use of the word *heterophobe*.
I like it.
Hell no is right....we have TOO MANY WOMEN WHO VOTE FOR MORE DEAD BABIES!
Talk to RONNA!! She has NO PLAN TO WIN EXCEPT SPENDING TONS OF MONEY ON.........????
I agree
I'm going with it.
We have lost control of our election system so to quote hillary clinton ‘at this point what difference does it make’?
...That Dodger indulgence is not going over well with its fan base, especially the city’s millions of Catholic Latinos.
The woke Left still enjoys enormous advantages over the Right. The bicoastal elite has far more money, controls all the major American institutions, and dominates the dissemination of knowledge through the media and Silicon Valley.
But the Left does not enjoy majority public support. And now it has managed the impossible—to goad the normally comatose conservative dragon to awaken.

Anheuser-Busch came up with the bright idea that it would highlight Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender performance activist, to hawk its Bud Light brand. But beer seemed incidental to the self-absorbed Mulvaney’s fixation on promoting transgenderism. So Bud Light-drinking, red-state America got turned off by Mulvaney’s in-your-face-advocacy.
An ensuing informal boycott cost the company nearly $16 billion in lost stock value. Hundreds of millions of dollars of unsellable light beer stagnated. Stores can’t even give it away.
We can do this - we can free ourselves from WOKE insanity...
The problem is the good old boys in the GOP are pissed to be woken up from a good booze up and are angry at their constituents for demanding they do something. And stop telling them to put some starch in their collars. They have regular dry cleaning delivery.
For later perusal.
