I would agree that the "woe is mes," are pointless--a waste of energy. Clearly the answer to those who have little sense, no guts & really no future, is to continuously discuss the underlying issues, with arguments for which the Left has no answer. If we do that well enough, a tidal wave of a heightened awareness will drive the gutless wonders into either changing their tune or going into hiding,

This is where the dedicated few--such as Ted Cruz--come into increased prominence. Not because we like them; but because they know how to employ the arguments for which the Left has no answer.

No, that point is not conceded by the media--or the gutless wonders, for the moment in charge. But note that the efforts to marginalize the dedicated few, almost never include actually answering those sound arguments. The consist more of the same sort of raised eye-brows, pseudo-intellectual distractions, and other arguments by non-sequitur, by which the academic Left has misled students since the 1930s & '40s.

The answer is always to persist in the arguments that are actually relevant--the arguments for which the Left has no answer. Eventually more and more people will listen, until eventually the dam will break, and Socialist appeals to envy; crackpots pursuing "diversity," while actually undermining it in their pursuit of uniformity; fantasy seekers calling for new World Orders, etc.: will all suddenly find themselves with the same level of credibility, that those claiming a flat-earth and geo-centric universe achieved, when the public suddenly realized that Galileo knew what he was talking about.

Billy, you say The answer is always to persist in the arguments that are actually relevant--the arguments for which the Left has no answer.

Well young fellow, that approach is going to sway about 35% of the electorate at best ... and that % sinking fast. Start talking to the really significant electorate. That is the urban dwellers in the big states. Talk to the tattooed fatsos in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Talk to young women (with a chaperone present and a cop cam running). The Single Moms. The LGBT "community." Those Ferguson Feral Fellows. Talk to illegal Latinos. That's who is electing our representatives. They want more of what they think they are getting and much more of what they think they should get.

The only way out of this IMNVHO, is a "power grab" by state governments under strong governors and legislators. Can that still happen? How do we do that?

Today, Black Wednesday, showed that the two party system has now broken down beyond repair. There's the real people, now a minority. There's the people who want the government to give them what the real people have. There's Government, elected and otherwise.
