You're right, but if we blow this chance (this one chance to turn the tide) the repercussions could be horrific.

I don't think we will. I think we'll end this social justice nightmare.

This is our Thermopylae. This is our Rorke's Drift on a global scale.

We are colonial Marines. We will prevail.

You won't. Imagine we started on a football field on the 50 yard line. The Conservatives have generally wanted to just hold ground. They think the Constitution is great, and that's about good enough, save for a few things. Liberals want MORE. ALWAYS looking to push shit, remove societal norms, and push for constant change. So the conservatives don't really go past the 50 yard line. They get pushed a yard or two at a time. Give up a little here, a little concession there. All the while the liberals are gaining inches, and conservatives are just trying to hold a line. Now sometimes the liberals stand in the pocket too long, and BAM, conservatives push them back towards that 50. But year by year, generation by generation, they are losing inches. Look down, they've pushed conservative to their own 20. We might push back. But the never ending offense will keep pushing, while conservatives try to hold a line.

Think this analogy isn't correct? If the 50 yard line is the founding fathers ideas of this nation, and the constitution/ laws as they were intended. And the end zone is a nation where almost all constitutional rights have been eroded to the point of meaninglessness, and foreign powers control us.... Which do you think we are closer to? The 50 yard line or the end zone?
