I think conservative groups should arrange some "field trips" for university students, to war torn countries so that they can see for themselves what Muzzlimes do to innocent people. Then, they should be asked if they'd like to live in a place where those folks are a majority or at least in great abundance. And field trips to socialist countries like Venezuela, so they can see how well socialism and communism work to enrich the lives of people forced to live that way. And then ask them to write papers on how socialism and communism improve lives.
I was an educator for 25 years. I saw that most students were simply not capable of abstract thinking, that they were only capable of what is known as concrete thinking--what they can see and feel for themselves. If they saw impoverished neighborhoods and learned what the lives of those living under communism were like firsthand, it might make a dent in their thick indoctrinated skulls. If they saw people imprisoned, beaten or killed for leaving their home without a hijab, falling in love with someone their parent didn't pick (and who wasn't 30 years older than them) and then being subjected to "honor killing", female genital mutilation, being forced to convert to Islam or "else", they might not feel the need to join demonstrations bearing signs "Welcome Muzzlimes". If they actually met some illegal criminal invaders, filthy disease-ridden uneducated dross that they are, they might question the desirability of bringing hordes of them into our country. Their assignment would be to write a detailed paper outlining what such people could bring to our country vs. the millions and millions of dollars spent on their medical care, education, housing, etc. And they might be asked to write a paper about the meaning of "sovereign country" and why we need to maintain defined borders.
A powerful statement. I hope something like that can be done to save the generation and we who will pass the baton to them.
One thing. I learn mostly from reading voraciously and from discussions on the radio (in the past from actual journalists on actual news shows but no longer since these do not exist). I have a political science degree.
However, sometimes I know I am impressionable to a fictionalized account or semi-nonfiction such as the film JFK by Oliver Stone, and the long running Ancient Aliens TV series to some extent. Don’t laugh.What I mean is, when someone forcefully presents a viewpoint with emotionalized narrative in a convincing manner, it is convincing. The young are convinced that caring, good Democrats are trying to feed starving babies and immigrants who seek asylum but are thwarted by selfish, greedy, cruel Republicans led by the evil Trump.
They are taught this and anyone who disagrees does not get a date,a party invitation,a favorable Twitter and Facebook turnout, and someone who will at least speak to them during the day at school. Too much sacrifice for a young person to stand. They give in.
I can never believe a person who disagrees with the JFK film. To say Oswald got off superior sharpshooter shots and reloads in seconds to hit a moving target and acted alone,and the witnesses who were shouted at to say they didn’t really see the man with the gun and the gun smoke and the shots behind the wooden fence behind them,and to deny the fact that what we call the Deep State wanted JFK dead to keep their power——is not going to work with me.
Ancient Aliens:Also, don’t tell me ancient sharply cut laser lines on stone were carved with chicken bones and shards of stone and wood an stone monuments, and that men with ropes and pulleys moved tons and tons of weight in a huge block and set it on top of hundreds of others perfectly, when one such block today moved by modern trucks and engineers takes a lot of modern horsepower,steel cranes and plans set up by computers.
My point: one renegade film director could show the dark side of the Dem-socialists (Dinesh Desouza’s Hillary’s America was a try) and dramatize and emotionalize it to convince young people. If he had a hit film. My opinion.
