Folks, we’re there - in fact, LONG past it. We’re past the point of logically making our points, linked to evidence, and waiting for them, after seeing the preponderance of it, to make even a SLIGHT acknowledge that there MIGHT be something there.
We KNOW “those people”. Hell, most of of are related to them, work with them, live in their neighborhood, and otherwise associate with them on a regular basis.
That’s what’s so painful - to see their obdurate refusal to face reality. To know that the reason they are playing “I can’t SEE that!” Is that they are terrified. They know the truth, underneath. It’s just that admitting it will leave them without their comfortable illusions. Naked in the light, stripped of their self-righteous certainty that THEY are the “Good Ones”.
They are like Confederates after the South fell to the Union, still bravely insisting on the glory of their Cause, and even organizing sub Rosa missions to thwart Yankee ‘oppression’.
They are Diehards. They will continue this unto the Third generation. Their bitterness will not wither away. About the best we can hope for is that the USA, through internal migration, sorts itself into geographically separate regions. That, and that the Diehards get defanged through reduction of federal money infusions.
But, it’s likely to be Avery long process. Longer than I’m likely to be around for.
That’s why the Battle for the Next Generation is crucial. Those who are creating stories and songs and video aimed at the YA and under-40 market are our Front Lines. We have to work to pass along the story of freedom.
The Left has already overreached itself. The parents became aware of the extent of the rot in schools, in great part, thanks to the Covid restrictions. And they are resisting, as well as building alternative routes to learning.
Remember, it’s always darkest before you find the light switch.
