1980 was a powerful rejection of Carter and the dems. 1984 was a powerful conservative victory, but the electorate kicked the GOP out of power in the senate two short years later. 1988 was a third term for Reagan that didn’t materialize.

1984 was a long time ago. The country isn’t as conservative as it was back then, sorry.

So we should just throw in the towel then and adopt the Arnold strategy.

I believe it's only the political parties that aren't as conservative as they used to be, and that a majority of the population is still essentially conservative.

If I'm wrong, and you're right, then nothing we say or do really matters anyway. The slow (or rapid, if the amnesty passes) slide into socialism is inevitable.
