The public schools and universities, WHERE HISTORY IS TAUGHT, are more liberal than ever. Liberals also control the news, entertainment world, and the legal system. But my main point was that those who write the history books and teach the subject in our schools won’t be fans of Donald Trump no matter how much he accomplishes.

While it is undoubtedly true that conservative books do sell surprisingly well, and that our websites are somewhat effective in countering the liberal narrative, popular culture still leans decidedly left. Because...most people like the idea of getting something for nothing, resent those who create wealth, and fall prey to the liberal Group Think mentality and their promotion of big government and utopian ideals. Its an easy audience to manipulate and the Left does it quite well.

The historical facts of the Trump presidency will run against a strong current of emotionalism and the false promises of socialism.

I have some wonderful news for you. The pendulum swings. The Left has dominated for decades, and they’ve finally pushed too far. The PC police have cracked down too hard. The leftist bs has become too dominant and oppressive. The older millenials bought the party line, but younger millenials and Gen Z are in revolt. Conservatism is the new counterculture.

You wouldn’t know any of this if you you’re mainly exposed to the MSM and older conservatives’ pushback. But if you visit sites where young conservatives congregate, it’s all over the place. I’ve read untold posts, comments and rants on the subject. It’s the way of human nature. You can forcefeed an ideology only so long. In the end, the result is rebellion. We’re coming into that phase now. It’s very exciting.
