It's good to be optimistic at these dire times, but do not forget to be realistic at the same time. The voice of the "silent majority" will not matter if it does not translate into votes. Polls don't matter, the ballots are. Let's see if your Hail Mary known as the "silent majority" will deliver in the 2020 US Elections. Good luck, or if you get fucked, the whole world is FUCKED.

You'd have to literally kill me before you stop me from voting this November. I will literally drag my body through tabasco covered razor blades to go to a polling station.
I think this is how a lot of people feel, the only tangible way anyone not in the media has of standing up to the liberal movement is with their vote.
I hope the elections are a blowout, but I'm not optimistic, I just don't have any optimism left.
Hell, best case scenario, we get four more years of Trump and then what? Back to corporate Republicans and the Democrats ever-escalating insanity?
I don't think voting is what will end the wokening. It's going to be a long, slow slog, to push this ideology out of every meaningful institution and it has to happen on the ground.
Trump might be able to fix Obama's damage in terms of policy, but the broader problem is cultural.
With any luck, the smart Republicans will adapt. Ted Cruz (for example), as much as I had to hold my nose to vote for him in 2018, has slowly been getting more and more based. I think the thrashing Trump gave him the the 2016 primaries and him almost losing to Robert O'Rourke, gave him a whiff of the redpill.
lucky for me my polling station is like... 500 feet away.
