I am not feeling anything anout the polls, but do feel the same as I have for quite some time–the Democrats control the manufactured culture (Hollywood, media, academia), if not the folk one amongst the people. They simply have no intention of letting political discussions occur on a level playing field. I think we see enough daily proof of this as to not warrant serious debate on the subject.
Liberty-lovers need to give it one or two more cycles, and then, if the trajectory of things does not change–much less accelerates, as could happen–they are truly are going to need to think about stop trying to convince the always uncertain middle 10% about what needs to be done and start discussing amongst themselves, the steadfast anti-Democrat 45%, what needs to be done.
