The incrementalist arguments have their roots in Hegel’s philosophy - which led to Marx, Engels and Lenin.

It works great for evil, but very poorly for good.

You can add poison to a cup of wine incrementally, and make it a poison cup.

But, if you add wine to a cup of poison, you will not end up with a cup of wine. It will still be a poison cup.

“But, if you add wine to a cup of poison, you will not end up with a cup of wine. It will still be a poison cup.”

Thats very true, but is your analogy? Conservatives keep working for the home run but in the meantime the socialists are getting base hits out the ying yang. So far the score is drastically favoring the socialists.

One sign that you’re in trouble is you they keep doing the same thing day-after-day and are not happy with the outcome; yet you somehow expect it to have a different result the next time you try it.
