The constant advancement of leftist causes when Democrats are in charge; a temporary halt of this movement when Republicans are in charge. There is never any real effort to reverse this leftist movement. Can you think of a single major leftist achievement that the Republicans have reversed or eliminated in the past 70 years? All we can content ourselves with is slowing down the advance of the left. And even this is becoming harder.
I’m not disagreeing with you but the way to change it as I have said before is to elect the right people and then hold them accountable.
If that happens a few times (it is beginning to happen now) the ones who lie to get elected will stop doing so when they know they will get the boot next election cycle or sooner if a recall is appropriate.
