Liberalism, communism, Marxism, name the ism and I will show you tyranny and dictatorship, not of the proletariat but of the elite. They NEVER give up. It's disease that is never eradicated. There is no cure except execution of the practitioners without mercy.
I worry that you may be counting unhatched chickens here - but, assuming things work out as it now appears they might, the next concern would be that we're the good guys: stomping on prostrated necks isn't our thing.
So how do we transform a short term win into a long term one? In the short note I put on substack (see paul530.substack.com ) I argue that there is only one leftist progressive delusion -describing all the political left's isms as variant sizzles selling the same imaginary steak. If this is correct, a long term solution suggests itself: stop teaching the work of the European (mainly German) intellectuals underlying the left's thinking as having value; start teaching it as what it was: self serving cant by the 19th century version of talking heads.
Paul, You're right about the decrepitude of hegel, & later et alii. But IMHO the current problem is that in USA specifically, after 50 years of diseducation, people under 50 or so NOT reading anything at all, let alone the postmodern West- haters writing since 1990 or 2000. Instead theirs is a nihilistic, narcisism-promoting cult of destruction that rides upon mobs, violence, tattoos, slogans/memes, ugliness, sexual perversion and psychotic acts. It is thuggish & would not be affected by stopping all lectures on hegel, marx, Lenin, gramsci, fanon, foucault & so forth.
Chambers has it right, and Jordan Peterson is trying mightily to make it clear that there is such a thing as good/evil and a moral order to the universe that must be followed or the consequences are grave.. Western Civilization (with the notable exception of key intellecuals) generally followed that order until it started to veer toward the Satanic ditch post enlightenment.
Electing Trump doesn't halt the slide. The momentum of "Great Resets", vast bureaucracies in every Western nation and at the international level, along with indoctrinated x,y and z are not going to have a mass conversion,
Yes, Trump, Musk, Jordan Peterson, Rogan and others that "think differently" provide hope, but the roaring lion of Satanic totalitarianism is a constant.
Complacency? Its time for paranoia! Considering the competence of the operators at work on the democrat side, and the double-dealing of the rhinos, there's no way that they would have thrown this election if there wasn't something up their sleeves.
Good article, Steve. You raise a huge moral!!! point. Namely, are we contending with oppositional voices as they arise in a civil society, or must we now see this as WAR, in all its moral jungle!? I'm tending twd the latter, as you seem to be. Esp since Dem/bolshvk election rigging, lawfare and hoaxes, False-Saint George riots, and hamas animal-like savagery. Too bad the "To War" message is not able to be focused on one specific malefactor, as when Churchill was calling out Hitler, 1938 to 1940. It's now so damn Swamp like.

Great post. I know this video is long, but you really must watch Joe Rogan interview Mike Benz. It is unbelievable.

Well said, Steve. Having bought into the ideas of globalism in the 90s, I am wiser now. This is spot on.

I'd like to share with all my "nicely" liberal family and friends but they wouldn't "get it"

If there’s anything I’ve learned from politics, it’s that there’s always room for complacency. And stupidity, too. Always time and money for that.
