During a war a general could say he doesn't care who wins a one-on-one skirmish between one of his troops versus the enemy. He's looking at the bigger battle and the war.
But the bigger battle is really thousands of skirmishes between his troops and the enemy troops. If he loses too many skirmishes he loses the battle and eventually the war.
The progressives understand the need to fight to win every skirmish. Conservatives too often take your approach.
Exactly right, PC and or liberalism/socialism is a ratchet. Every battle they win advances the ratchet one more click. We need to win more battles!
Take the NC bathroom battle. The left in Charlotte advanced the ratchet one click when it passed an ordinance forcing everyone to participate in mentally ill peoples gender delusion. The state is fighting back very well, but in the end there will probably be a compromise because non leftist politicians almost always negotiate to find common ground ceding power to the left. The left NEVER compromises!
Once the furor goes away, the left will have gained some ground. After all, even if they don’t have their original law in place, they will have hundreds of businesses like Target openly promoting ‘open bathrooms’, acting like brownshirts shaming everyone for hating LGBT people. In NC, half of the businesses we frequent will support this crap and it will be impossible to boycott them all.
