This IS a pill some need to swallow, and understand. Plenty of things can be added or rearranged to this, but in a nutshell...
A look at "The Left"
-
They stopped hoping someone would save them
-
They infiltrated and took over the institutions
-
They started businesses, organizations, and institutions
-
They pushed the limits of our systems of governance, our legal systems, so on.
-
They stopped wasting all their time in virtual worlds and investing time in the real world
-
They stopped relying on their keyboard as a weapon, and started utilizing real weapons from physical to political
-
They stopped worrying about the cause and effect
-
They stopped worrying about optics
-
They stopped sitting on their hands
-
They started testing, and probing
-
They stopped making excuses
-
They started standing up
-
They started speaking out
-
They started protecting one another regardless of indifferences
-
They started organizing
-
They put things in motion
-
They stopped waiting for someone to guide them
-
They stopped listening to traditional political figures
-
They acted
-
They became the leaders they wanted, and needed
-
They defied those who aligned with them and betrayed them
-
They defied the system they do not believe in
-
They started worrying about their own message, their own optics, their own goals
-
They are willing to sacrifice themselves for their greater good
-
They would rather protect one of their own that they disagree with, than an outsider they disagree with
-
They are able to adapt
-
They are capable
-
They are succeeding
-
Eventually... "Center" and "The Right" will start and or are going through these processes. It's just a historical Human cycle. Even if "The Left" physically purged every single "Center" or "Right" person as they see fit. Eventually counter ideals will take root and grow and the scale will tilt, the cycle will continue.

Hate them all you want, call them names, whatever helps you sleep at night. However, from a historical standpoint they have pulled off quite a feat. Literally in front of the worlds face, not in the shadows, not behind a curtain. They have literally choreographed many of the things they have done. You can call me names too, I assume I will get called "Doomer" and whatever other trendy social media words people use. That's ok, it just further ties into what I've posted. I definitely appreciate the energy and faith people have here. I hope all the energy and time invested in "this movement" can be worth something. I hope people can find their place, their peace, and their direction in life.
I also, have to grudgingly give them credit. They never, ever let go of the 'Con'. They circle the wagons when one of them is caught in a lie or crime and their wall has no gaps. Our side is so concerned with being 'fair', that all we do is react. We're always on the defensive. "No, we didn't say that !" or "No, that's not what we meant!".
They want to win at any cost and we want to win honorably. That's why we fail. They're wearing brass knuckles and we're observing the Marquess of Queensbury rules.
