The Civil rights protests are always the go to for how protesting can “force change” but they didn’t “force” anything. The outcome of that movement was a new voting base to pander to, it succeeded purely because the outcome benefitted the state.
The gay/tranny rights bullshit succeeded because it gave the state a reason to intervene in our personal lives and allowed it to consolidate power in a way that nullified states rights and individual rights.
Same with Abortion, BLM, illegal immigration, etc.
She has effectively granted herself dictatorial power through the use of the OHA. Conservative votes are outnumbered by Portland Metro alone and any time we try to protest at the state capital Antifa shows up armed. In addition to this mask zealots are everywhere demanding we conform.
Kate Brown’s tyrannical idiocy has turned Oregon into a powder keg.
This should be common sense.
I would say it boggles my mind thinking about the sheer mass of true believers this infantile ideology has amassed, but it really doesn’t. It doesn’t surprise me because the left’s ideology is perfect for the intellectually lazy masses as all a follower of this cult must do is hate who they are told to hate. It is humanity on autopilot: consume what you are told to, hate who you are told to, love who you are told to.
To a follower of this cult freedom is literally slavery because freedom represents acting on your own volition and worse yet taking personal responsibility for those actions. Suddenly any wrong you commit is your fault alone and no one else’s. Why do that when you can just kick back and plug in to the machine? In fact, therein lies the crux of the impossible challenge we are faced with: we must argue in favor of not only the freedom to do right but the freedom to do wrong.
