Sorry, Luke, but you're a doomer. If you were truly being objective, you would also note all of the gains the right is making, and acknowledge the weight, momentum, and inertia that is propelling America in a rightward direction.
That you choose to accept some writer's belief that, "the right may only rule as the left allows", is just that...your choice. You are now filtering every development you witness through the sieve of this one man's thinking.
You could just as easily filter everything you witness through the sieve of what the Founders wrote. Personally, I think what they wrote is for the ages, and carries much more weight than some political scientist's armchair musings.
I prefer to absorb history and current events at face value, unfiltered, and as bitter or as sweet as they are.
It is true that the ruling class has put a mighty suppress on fundamental Americanism, and on the American people, but the American people have it within them to overthrow that oppression, as they've done in the past. Revolution happens when a people reach their breaking point.
What you're witnessing today, is a people who are in a pre-revolutionary mode. For now, the people are still willing to work within the established system to exert their will over the ruling class. It will either work, or it won't work. If working within the system doesn't work, the pressure building within the populace will increase, and we will see even greater levels of defiance and resistance to the established regime.
At some point, someone's going to blink, and lay down their arms. It only remains to be seen how far we have to go, and what we have to go through to get to that point. If the people blink, then the American experiment is over, and a long dark night of enslavement is ahead. If the ruling class blinks, then the greater will of the people will prevail, and we will see our country restored to the fundamentals most Americans desire.
For what it's worth, my belief is that it would require the wholesale slaughter of millions of Americans to accomplish the ruling class' goals. They don't have the will, or the capacity to ever do that, so my money's on the people.
Their judges are everywhere. That's the power. You vote the wrong way they overturn it. That is reality. You are myopic. Go ahead and believe the Superman will show up and the leftists will “lay down their arms.” Welcome to it.
