“It was in many ways the final battle in a war the Republican Party didn’t even bother fighting”
Republicans and conservatives in America have reached a point which is something akin to where the South stood after the battle of Gettysburg.
They have suffered a defeat - possibly a decisive defeat - from which recovery may no longer be possible. The war is not over, and of course it must be waged to the end, but the chances of victory are growing dimmer, for the enemy has both demographics and the kulturkampf to its advantage.
Anyone who doubts my assertion about “demographics” better take a look at the millions upon millions of illegals about to naturalized under Obama - and not only them, but the millions and millions more who will follow them in via “chain migration”. They won’t be bearing guns, but a different sort of weapon as deadly to our cause: votes.
In the Civil War, the numbers were on the side of the North. Eventually, the South ran out of soldiers (not to mention the money and materiel) with which to continue the fight.
In _this_ war, again, their side has the growing ranks of “soldiers” - the burgeoning numbers of millions of illegals and browns who will eventually make it impossible for conservatives to make their voice heard through the numbers of votes they can raise.
Again, the war is not over, but “victory” - however we care to define it in terms of politics, culture, and demograhics - at this point in time, remains in doubt.
I wish I could be more optimistic. But I’m a stone-cold realist (and that was reflected in my posts up to the current election).
That said, fight on!
