2 years ago@someguy3 @ilovecomputers The entire modern right can be traced back to a desire for segregated schools. This is the core mission, everything else was a way of shifting a voting block to enable it. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133/
@fuzzywolf23 @Scary_le_Poo why are conservatives winning right now?
Progressives won’t accept an imperfect tool, conservatives will use anyone who furthers their agenda.
Progressives can’t see incremental change, conservatives can focus on gradually shifting the Overton window.
Progressives want a messiah, conservatives understand that gov’t is a big machine and you have to pack all the little roles and not just the few jobs at the top.
