I think too many conservatives don't quite get what's happening.

You're in a boat, along with everyone else in your country, on a stream that is flowing in one direction. You can kick and flail around as much as you want but at best you only slow down your movement along the stream. You are not actually changing direction. Left and right is just you shouting at people further down the stream, disagreeing with the direction the stream is going based on different information but neither of you are actually changing anything.

If you don't like the path the stream is going, you will only make a difference by getting out of the stream and going your own way. Modern politics is the stream.

Get off social media, start your own businesses, don't use their businesses, home school your kids, read books written over a hundred years ago, don't read their books. Congregate with other people who've left the stream. Work together to climb back up the hill in the direction you want to go. Don't partake in the system. The more you partake in the system the more you just follow the stream without ever truly having any say in its course.

Okay but we actually did change the direction by Voting in Trump. Thus the endless attacks on us.

Not really, I feel like we just slowed the boat down a bit. Sure we got more wall built, but the amount of people Biden wants to let in will almost outweigh the stoppage the wall has done. The trade policies will probably be removed by Biden, I think he already said he wants to join the Paris Accord as well.

A few things may stick, and Trump did do an amazing job but it's not like some massive change happened. I think the biggest change Trump brought wasn't even in the government it was with the people.
