Mass Generational die off the only cure, just like with Welfare dependency as these Generations must pass so they have no understanding of it, same with Progressivism.

The whole article is based on a false premise...

The “progressivism” that needed stopping was back in 1906...
It wasn’t...

The current problem has nothing to do with “progressive”, it has to do with the now completed loss of this nation to the Marxist communist wing...

As long as the serfs keep referring to things like progressives or the former democrat party (which no longer exists), there is no possible path to shedding the communist chains which now weigh us down...

Continuing to take lots of aspirin to get rid of the headache is of no value when the problem is a brain tumor...

“Can progressivism be reversed?”

Sure can, it will be a bloody mess, but it can be reversed.

The answer is a definitive 'yes'. However, the downfall has been well over a century, so it's gonna take some time.

The dings against the Republic started at least as far back as 1871, with the Act of that name. The big dents occurred in the early 1900's, with the FED creation, FBI. Then, there was Roosevelt, with the first in a series of "new deals".

“Progressivism” (totally inaccurate term) is unsustainable.

Progressivism is sin. The second coming is the only cure.

I don’t believe it will be. Things will get much worse before Jesus returns— they have to, according to Scripture. If you’re on Twitter you know that kids are absolutely brainwashed. They hate Christians and Republicans to the point of wanting us dead. Morality is dying, as the Bible predicted. But God’s in control, which is all that ultimately matters.

What are they progressing toward?

Or is it regressing?

Start by not calling it Progressivism. Progress is a value judgment. Most people would agree that the goals of Liberals do not amount to progress!

“Can Progressivism Be Reversed?”

Of course!!

But that’s not the interesting question. The better and more difficult question to answer is this...

“Are there enough people who are willing to do what it takes to reverse it?”

Definitely not right now. Things have to get much, much worse, way more suffering and abuse, for people on the right, and in general, to be sufficiently motivated and committed to risk their lives in an all out uprising.

I just don’t see that on the horizon. The vast majority is still pretty comfy. Most are content being keyboard warriors... and voting republican.

For the near and mid term, all I see is more of the same. We’re like the frog in the pot - they gradually raise the heat but we stay there and get used to the higher temperature.

It’s simple reality.

Fed.gov is completely malformed due to the cancer of progressivism/wokism/statism

It needs to be completely desconstructed.

Progressives and the deep state will never allow that. Indeed, change or reform is impossible.

So where does that leave us?

Continuing on the present path, until only a recognition of total failure, and collapse, occurs. think of the Soviet Union in 1991

Short answer, no. The federal government will never be as small as it was before Wilson.

The change has to start in the primary and secondary education.

That has been where progressives have been focused for over 100 years.

Conservatives have blindly let it happen

2) make government more efficient by making it more and more reliant on the expertise of disinterested professional bureaucrats.


You do not want an efficient government. Our Founding Fathers put in checks and balances, so things moved SLOWLY AND AND GREAT COST.
