The media has such an enormous influence on the elections these days that it’s probably impossible for any conservative to ever win again.

Well, I do not know if this is even related to what is going on, but it took the Russians about 70 years to throw off communism. I wonder how long it will take us to throw it off as well?

...it took the Russians about 70 years to throw off communism. I wonder how long it will take us to throw it off as well?

That's a profound question.

I think the answer is that, we will only rid ourselves of that destructive ideology, when it finally brings the system crashing to the ground. That's what it took for the former USSR. It's what it's going to take here.
