The politics of a tactical move, how many right of centre activists had the vision, or the stomach to play this game?

But, the important part is, how's that working out for you? Not in terms of fighting the good fight, or resisting turds, but where's Canadian culture headed? Are urban centres being taken over by gun violent activist gangs of middle eastern pursuation. Has your southern border become a porous, two-way fentanyl super highway. Gotta love those fit and trim backpackers, humping the goods and loot, back and forth across the fruited plains border? I think you folks have lost quite a bit, over a short period due to turdboy, can you afford the time for that eight percent to maybe scratch back a feel good sliver of a percent?

Craig I’ll respond to both your posts. Of course these things are intertwined. But I’m saying that it’s extremely difficult for the political side to make progress if the activists haven’t softened up the populace. And what I see in both countries is right of centre voters bemoaning the situation with very little (comparatively) activism from the right that gets the populace on board with the ideas of the right. We get boxed in and labeled by the Left. They traditionally have been the aggressor in defining the battles and defining the opposition. “Pro Choice” and “Anti Abortion”.

You say it’s a political fight now, as though it’s somehow different than 60 years ago. I’m saying it’s not. It’s the same fight now that it’s always been. We just haven’t fought it as well. As Ted suggested, we are busy with jobs and families etc. And I’ll go back to my original statement which is to take a look at who has been winning for the last 2-3 generations. Sure hasn’t been the Right.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. Despite the progress made by Trump, look at how quickly the next administration made up ground. And BTW, Trump is an anomaly. He’s not a normal political animal although his instincts are very good. He’s the very unusual cross between an activist and a politician. At this point in time the Right would have be F’d without him. He reminded about 80 million voters that the things they believe in are good ideas and worth standing up for. Unlike most of the Rhinos, busy trying not to offend the Left.
