Your side's cultural dominance, the shrinking of the Overton window and witch hunts did.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 10:00 amNo, we really can't.

The keyboard warrior there is intentionally cast as a pathetic person who shouldn't be typing on the Internet. Don't be like him. Go out and join a get out to vote drive. Do what I did and sign up to vote by mail so you remember to do it.

Yes, it's pathetic, but it also speaks to an emotional reality.
I'm registered to vote and ready to vote.

@Slash Your side controls the government. If that upsets you, then go call your elected officials and ask them to get off their lazy butts and bring about that right-leaning change you seem to want so much.

Some of it can happen fast some of it will be slow. One man cannot really make that giant of a difference unless is in a position of power.
i started giving away money for movies in a more consistent way that does not reward left wing preaching. i will think about what else i can do.

The real power is in the control of the government, who controls and enforces the laws, and that's, again, your side.

The media only shapes how people think. It's up to the people on whether or not to vote left or right.
