That is a good tactical list, but until conservatives regain control of the public education system, we are lost. For the past 40 years, most public schools do not teach our history or the reasons the nation was founded, the virtues of freedom and liberty, and why free markets create the greatest prosperity and wealth for all. Instead schools teach kids that America is evil, the cause of the world’s problems, that all businesses are bad, and government is good. This leads to an electorate expecting freebies from the government. As Rush said, a nation of children will vote for Santa Claus every time.

This has to be a multi-decades effort, but it is going to be very hard to wrest educational control from the leftists / statists. It seems that freedom-oriented people do not go into education and, for some reason, the field attracts people enamored with statism and totalitarianism.

“This has to be a multi-decades effort, “

This is the most important point of all, IMHO. The seeds that led to the left’s power were planted long ago, and they weren't planted by the DNC or any other American political organization. They were planted in the context of a long term goal by ideologues - foreign and domestic.

If you wanted to remove from the landscape the obstacle that America was to those worldwide who wanted to put in place the ‘all powerful-government knows best-central control model’ (no matter what you formally call it) there were finite ways to approach this - using our own open society against us.

We've all seen the ‘1963 Communist Goals for America’. It worked. This is exactly what we are dealing with. Society is most definitely manipulable. Propaganda works. Message control works. We've seen in over and over again in world history.

So, we must have long range plans, just as they did/do.
