It’s bigger than you think.
One of the dangerous things about statism is how they wear you down. If you’re hit with 10,000 tiny little regulations, you start to feel surrounded.
By the time the big and egregious things start happening, you’re so worn down already, and already mentally tuned to having state interventionism in your life, that you’re less inclined to resist.
Think of it as a way of training.
Being trained to accept statism is a big, BIG problem.
I know. You’re right. It’s called incrementalism.
Statists advertise it when it comes to smoker bans, trans fat, Eco wackos.
Conservatives can learn something from the Statist. Especially when it comes to abortion and killing unborn humans. Boil the frog. Anti smoking activists told us 30 years ago they only wanted some non smoking sections on airplanes. Now look.
Instead of trying to hit a 5 run homer, continue with incremental steps and social engineering.
