Well, Today, more people than ever are publicly saying ‘Never again’ will they go the lesser evil/no matter what route. It’s a start.
And some of those people fought tooth and nail with us last election. They admit it was a mistake to help further the GOP liberalism. So it might not be any rousing victory yet I freely admit. But it’s moving our way.
Ergo, we are gaining, not ceding ground in this insanity. this crap never should have happened. Conservative values are not a ‘living document’.
I think it's too early to tell. Well, I do agree that the numbers of conservatives who are dissatisfied enough to no-vote the GOP candidate is increasing (I've been no-voting for decades, can't stand the "big party" candidates for federal office that come from this state, and the feeling is mutual); but I'm not confident that a system with low voter turnout has any conservative benefit.
Now, Gandhi, there's a fellow who got the attention of the PTB, and he did so while denouncing and eschewing violence.
