Good thoughts and I agree with most of your post. One thing we have to take in to account is only about 20% of Americans self-identify with being on these liberal/statist side of things.

This is where the Alinsky playbook has come in to play making them look like a bigger presence than they really are. The problem is so many of this 20% or so is in powerful places of influence, like our government, education, corporations, the media, the entertainment industry and so on. This is where the focus needs to be in order to turn this culture around.

Until we break their hold on the positions of influence, they still have enough influence to hold on to this power they have over the American sheeple. I do believe President Trump is doing everything he can to try to break their evil hold over these sheeple but it will take solutions by the Patriots or We the People, to help him bring that around as we are a much bigger presence than the 20% who hold all that corrupt power.

Sigh. I think and hope you are right, as I tend to fall into the trap. I live in a Blue State, so that probably has something to do with it.

Thank you very much for the reality check.

How DO we break their hold in the media/entertainment/education arenas? Their overwhelming bias and need for titillating/bad news in order to exist has long been evident to me, and I get unnecessarily aggravated when other people don’t see it.

I have taken to disparaging the intellectual capability (internally) of people who can’t see it, and that isn’t a good starting point.
