A discussion between Mike and Tim.

In a conversation about the way corporations follow the "woke" line even when it hurts their bottom dollar, Mike says:

These companies have aligned themselves with the far left for survival. From what I see the left has control and will keep control. I dont believe the great blow out of the dems will happen. I have heard it all before. Carter should have been the death of them and here they still, stronger then ever thanks to the publics tunnel vision. Biden got his start with Carter as well as other dems and like some Repugs they are still there.

And Tim replies:

I agree with you Mike. These corporations aren't stupid and know the Left controls all of the country's institutions. I agree furthermore this isn't going to be the catastrophe' we think it is for the Donkeys. Even if it is we'll find the Republicans who replace the Democrats are weak and won't move to end what has been imposed.

It's the dialectic. Or as they used to say two steps forward, one step back. The Left has taken their two steps now must cool things for a time to avoid the opposition - us - from boiling over and truly moving against them.

If you've ever read Brave New World Huxley discusses a water pipe analogy; too much pressure and it will blow, so the rulers occasionally put pin-pricks into the pipe to relieve the pressure. The Left has perfected that. And they control the means institutions that can allow a controlled depressurization.

Oh, and Huxley was one of them and knew how they operated.

I am less than confident about these upcoming elections. I think it will be less of a blowout than most people believe, and even though I think we'll win a lot, we will fall short of being in total control - enough to pass veto-proof legislation. And we'll fix some of the problems caused by Biden and the American people, with the attention span of gnats, will forget and re-elect the guy, or some other Democrat if they remove Biden from the ticket.

As you say, we've seen this before. If Carter couldn't end the Democrats forever nothing can.

And while I loved Reagan the fact is the country continued to move Leftward even during his Presidency. Things like gay rights got going during the Reagan era, not during Clinton. (They came to their culmination during the Clinton "gay nineties" but the roots were laid during the Reagan era.) The Left will make huge gains politically when in power then work the social end to consolidate that power when they are out. Both are equally important, and we are always playing catch-up trying to resist them. They always strike on ground of their own choosing. We are always simply reactive.

Color me very pessimistic.
