I agree.

The radicals in charge are the effect.

The people who bought into it are the cause. And that is, in many ways, far more alarming.

One can withstand an election cycle. but when it is clear the water of the electorate has been fouled, where can one go to get clean water, and how long is that going to take?

What we see is the result of liberalism beginning almost exactly 100 years ago last month with the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson. The steady drip-drip-drip of liberal claptrap finally broke through the skull of the American people.

How do we undo that?

“How do we undo that?”

It will undo itself, when the inevitable decline in quality of life that always accompanies socialism / communism occurs. The problem is that this is a long process, and many people will be hurt before reality sinks in. Is there another way? I hope so. Depending on the day, I sometimes believe there is, and sometimes not.

Re: “100 years of Liberalism”

I disagree.

I think modern Liberalism began with Teddy Roosevelt in 1901.

Teddy, in my opinion, was the first center-left Republican president.
