Most people are selfish cowards who want to freeload off of the sacrifice of others. So it's difficult to get champions to stand up to the wokes.
So... it did not have the consent of theh governed. If people are intimidated, that is not consent - though male feminists may disagree on that.
The Right gains power by convincing the middle to take our side. Unfortunately the middle is full of selfish, cowardly sheeple. Being forced to be at their mercy is obnoxious, but it's the price you pay for democracy.
lol @ you for unironically buying into claims that any Western country is a 'democracy'. They are oligarchies, which you can see by the fact that minority views are forced through and ordinary people have close to zero influence.
Well, LGBTs would be "assimilated", but in that assimilation, their cultural power would also be given a kind of permanency. They would no longer be activist, they'd merely be high on the totem pole. I would compare this to the jews. The jews took a top spot in American society and have just stayed there ever since. They stayed because their only major policy ask is support for Israel, which most Americans (on the Right at least) support on principle
They're economically powerful, which is a sort of personal power. But they're not powerful as Jews. Power means that you can ask for things that are against the majority of the people and the elites. It's like me starting a League Against Eating Your Own Shit and then claiming success because everyonee agrees with me.
The 2020 BLM riots did a lot of damage to the Left, just not enough. Trump went from 63m votes in 2016 to 74m in 2020.
How come the number of votes for the drooling, senile idiot increased even more though? You say mean tweets, or whatever. If getting your country burned down is not enough to make people turn on the left, nothing will.
The biggest wound of all - if it continues - is hispanics turning against the Left. If that becomes the reality, where hispanics are swing voters and not a Democrat lock, then holy shit, that is the death knell of intersectionality. The WHOLE POINT of intersectionality was to trick mexicans into thinking republicans were racist. Without the hispanics, the intersection coalition isn't even a majority! Blacks, LGBTs, and emotional white women are a recipe for permanent minority. Orthodox jews are also shifting to the Right
Orthodox Jews are already Right. Unfortunately, there are many who call themselves Jews as a cover but are just woke idiots.
You're fantasizing about permanent majorities. That simply doesn't happen. You will win and you will lose. But given the nature of the system, you will lose politically whether you win elections or lose them.
The Right did a lot of good given its limitations in the 80s and 90s
Winning one election after another, and ending up appointing 3 activists to the SCOTUS vs. 2 constitutionalists. Also, basically getting nothing done and continuing the social disintegration, which led us to where we are today.
The right is useless, but I'm open to hoping that it will do better.
John McCain fucked us on Obamacare repeal
You should be happy, because that would have had disastrous electorally - and you think elections matter.
Unfortunately the nature of US politics is that you need 60 votes in the Senate, so the result is that all policies end up as watered down compromises.
Like Patrick Deneen has written, both parties are liberal - one socially, the other economically. It's not as much that they are 'watered down compromises', but that they always advance liberalism. When GOP wins, they advance economic liberalism while doing nothing on the social front, when the Dems win, they advance social liberalism while doing nothing on the economic frornt.

Republicans somehow won elections before Obamacare. I don't know why you think they'd lose by repealing it. Obamacare is trash and was a net negative for many people.
both parties are liberal
If you think the Republican base is "liberal" then I'd like to see what your example of a non-liberal is.
You're fantasizing about permanent majorities
No, I'm pointing out that INTERSECTIONALISM will lead to a permanent minority status if trends continue, which is why the Democrats will be forced to ditch it and change their political strategy.
How come the number of votes for the drooling, senile idiot increased even more though? You say mean tweets
Yep. Mean tweets + the entire liberal media propagandizing about the mean tweets 24/7 for 4 years. Donald Trump handed his enemies endless ammo to lobby the normies against him.

Once it's there, people get mad when it's taken away.

The elites are liberal economically, which is what you call economically conservative.

I don't know man, you sound like you think you're operating on a level political playing field that does not have the wealthy and the elites putting their finger on the scale for intersectionality. At worst, they'll push their agenda through the bureaucracy and the courts, while protesting that they have no choice because "it is the law of the land".
When has 'the Right' ever stopped them?
Yep. Mean tweets + the entire liberal media propagandizing about the mean tweets 24/7 for 4 years. Donald Trump handed his enemies endless ammo to lobby the normies against him.
Oh come on. That's not how things work. People vote based on economics, not mean tweets. That is why I predicted that T would lose when everyone here said he would win.

bruh have you ever met a Democrat-voting white woman?
Actually, no.
