“By and large, conservatives are apathetic”
Well, they better wake up then. Most conservatives are shell shocked at this point and don’t grasp the full extent of what’s happened given how quickly events have transpired. The New Left’s rapid takeover of media, education and culture that began in the 1960’s (or earlier) is basically complete. Look at a small sampling of their most consequential triumphs in the last 40 years alone:
* abortion on demand;
* the related, gradual disintegration of marriage and family life;
* 48 million on food stamps, not to mention tens of millions more on other forms of assistance;
* a tidal wave of immigration and related failure to assimilate the arrivals, creating a parallel nation with its own distinct language and culture;
* a suffocating political correctness which stifles freedom of thought, religion and expression; and
* a mammoth bureacracy to enforce all of the above.
If people are still apathetic, that’s their fault. It’s not too late to right the ship, but it’s getting late.
Any one of the above could be “triggers”.
