This is why I said before that reparations are actually a gift to Republicans. There is no way that we could concoct a means of destroying the Left like this. Dems are putting themselves in the proverbial knight-fork with this issue (for those who don't play chess, a knight-fork is when your knight is safe from attack from your opponent's pieces, yet still has at least two of your opponents pieces in jeopardy: in other words, no matter which move is made, you will take at least one of your opponent's pieces).
No matter what, we should not allow them to sit back and allow this issue to ever become mainstream because if it does, say goodbye U. S. of A.
I hope that they are listening. . .
The risk for us is that we do nothing. Are you familiar with the works of the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci? He was chillingly brilliant, the great unrecognized tactician of communism. He proposed a system for mainstreaming radical communist ideas in the West, and his system has been the template for Leftist social engineering ever since.
The process is already underway. If we don't act now to derail this, in 5 years time the debate will no longer be about "whether" reparations but about "how much."
The first step in winning the argument is legitimizing it. That's the phase the campaign is in right now. And whatever WE do, remember that we won't live forever, and that incrememntal gains during our lifetime may become a tidal wave when we start to die off.
Our enemy is infinitely patient. It's the mark of a successful predator.
