Suggesting MORE government legislation is probably not the answer. Long term the answer is clear......learn from the Left, get organized, get active and make the case for the things we believe in. Not because it's an election year. But because it's part of your lifestyle. These are generational battles that require decades of comiited activism. Until we start to do that, the Left will keep winning the battles.
I think it's a bit different. There are a very small few, who can fund the activism of their choosing. Ask any prof, students of the left are lazy, unless there's a stipend involved.


Except that it’s been happening everywhere across the Western world for over 50 years. Not just the US of the last 15.

Soros wasn’t financing anyone 50 years ago. Besides, there are a lot of right of centre billionaires who could do the same thing. But they don’t because we don’t ask them to. The difference is the right funds politicians. The left funds activism. You wanna win? You need activism. It only takes 8 % of a population to ignite a revolution.
