With all due respect, take your “we’ve lost” attitude and shove it.
We have no choice but to fight for the right. We’re not tilting at windmills—but as Paul Ryan said, the hill to climb just got STEEPER.
If you don’t want to join in, then kindly step to the back of the ranks. We’ll do the heavy lifting. Just don’t pop off and tell us we’re not going to succeed.
Thanks.

Sure, lets all gather in an echo chamber and cheer one another up by ignoring reality. You can’t just surround yourself with a bunch of optimists and proverbial “yes men”.
Major social programs tend never to be repealed. It is highly unlikely this gets repealed and when the anger subsides people will realize this - including perhaps yourself.
You can add this to the long list of other progressive “achievements” that conservatives planned to repeal including social security, medicare, medicaid, WIC, foodstamps etc, etc, etc.
People don’t give up their freebies lightly. They just don’t. We were able to repeal, due to popular anger, the Catastrophic Health piece of Medicare. We were also able to reform Welfare. That is about it. And those are small potatoes compared to this monstrosity.
Will the socialist agenda eventually collapse in America? Yes, I do believe it may. It is just that these programs will not be “repealed” in the normal course of events. This crap will go away when the productive element of society finally revolts and has the backing of enough of what is left of the middle class. That may or may not ever happen - at least in our lifetimes.
I am perfectly hopeful that things will right themselves eventually, I am just not all that optimistic in the short term. I contribute and support conservative causes, speak to anyone who will listen about how bad socialism is, etc, etc, but my reading of history just does not leave me feeling very confident that reversing this stuff will happen anytime soon. If you don’t want to hear that, I’d suggest you not read my posts because that is the way I see it.
