Sadly, he may be right.
If you've noticed, thinking in the world is up side down, and we didn't get here over night.
It took the lefties a long time to get us where we are now, and it isn't going to change over night.
Anytime we can reverse that step in the opposite direction is a good step, and it is going to take a long time. And that means we have to win one battle at a time
Or we could just go to war....
Thanks for the clarification. As you indicate, I’m not giving my own opinion about it, I’m speaking about populist pragmatics. Unfortunately the common road in politics now is to give up on core beliefs and follow whatever leads to the most votes. In such a case, the goal is to amass power rather than to better society.
