Take abortion for example, an act that completely devalues life. The right should have been fighting to reverse Roe V Wade since the day it was decided. Instead what did they do? They retreated.
Bussing during the civil rights era that put kids in danger to pursue an egalitarian ideal? Retreated.
Affirmative Action? Retreated.
Gay marriage? Retreated.
Corruption of public education? Retreated.
Voter fraud? Retreated.
Blatant election theft? Retreated.
SCOTUS making a joke out of the very idea of justice? Retreated.
All these people do is talk. There are exceptions, of course, but the vast majority appear not to give a flying fuck that Rome is burning right now.
I can't even convince myself much less someone else.
