American Consequences - July 2020

WE HAVE LOST THIS WAR... BUT DON’T GO HOME AND SUCK YOUR THUMB

Picture yourself as a wealthy city leader during the time of Genghis Khan. Your city is incredible... Beautiful buildings,

We are no longer “the silent majority.” That is a lie you tell yourself because you do not want to believe you are as surrounded as you are. Those days are finished. The Left has won the culture war. They are not just a little ahead. They have won. Look around you... They own practically every major traditional television news network and 90% of the cable news networks. Just take a study from Harvard (not at all a conservative stronghold itself ) that examined news coverage of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Eighty percent of the news for Trump was negative... double that from President Obama’s first 100 days. The study’s authors write... Trump’s coverage was unsparing. In no week did the coverage drop below 70% negative and it reached 90% negative at its peak . Every popular social media website – from

lush gardens, and high walls. Then you receive word that a

massive, ravenous enemy army is on its way. They arrive and wheel a battering ram to your gate... Do you promptly order all the guards and people in your city to go hide under their beds and trust in your

city’s defenses? Of course not... No city, no matter how strong its walls, can stand a relentless assault without some offensive mechanism. Conservatism is that city. Do you want to know why government regulation and the welfare state have grown for the past 100 years in America? Because the Leftist hordes are battering down the walls of our beautiful city and conservatives lack the ability, willingness, or simple know-how to fight back.
