Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst.
How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us?
They don't see much backing for the current border policy and illegal immigration, yet it continues.
Conservatives feel that most Americans reject the trend of biological men dominating female sporting events.
They fear American jurisprudence has become now vastly weaponized and warped.
Certainly, former President Donald Trump will be more likely indicted by a politicized New York City prosecutor

Far too little, far too late.
Those twenty-somethings are pre-programmed to stick it to us at every turn when they start running the world.

The left is much more committed to their vision of the country that the right. They have been coming for the right for decades, and we just took it, remember the sports teams knelling at the national anthem, conservatives continued to support the teams. Look at Soros prosecutors, all the money he spent the past few decades. Find a conservative billionaire is willing to part with a dollar. Elon Must spent a lot to buy Twitter, then again he's a liberal. The harsh truth is conservatives don't want to make sacrifices for their cause. Maybe something is changing, I hope so. This does not apply to people on Lucianne.

I pray that VDH is right. I would love to see some real and effective fire breathing from the Conservative dragon. These boycotts are certainly making a statement. However, the left will ignore them because they would prefer to decimate traditional values than make a profit. When you have that kind of zealotry, good luck with showing your displeasure because the left doesn’t care what you think. It’s all about their agenda and they have come too far to backdown now. It is going to take a massive pushback and I mean massive. The advantage they have is that they have no shame. You cannot intimidate them even though they love to cry victim. They are bullies in our streets, schools, universities, media, corporations, government and in our communities. Their vicious toddler like temper tantrums are reviled by thinking adults but their peers cheer them on which is costing us dearly.
While it is true traditional Americans of every stripe just want to live their lives in peace and prosperity, these zealots revel in chaos. We either fight for our way of life or we submit to this debauched lawless anti-God cabal. Anyone who has young children or grandchildren are waking up to the fact that we can’t leave the field of battle. We must stand for what is right and moral or our children and grandchildren will live in a world of hurt. The idea of boycotting seems to be working, we just have to continue to resist their intimidation because it is the right thing to do. Period.

FTA - "But the Left does not enjoy majority public support. And now it has managed the impossible - to goad the normally comatose conservative dragon to awaken."
VDH, good piece. But not sure that "impossible" was the best choice of words. Maybe "probable".

We should always remember this did not happen recently. The Leftists/Marxists started their fundamental transformation of the USA over 100 years ago. We have a vast and ruthless conspiracy to defeat. Time to play up and play the game. But all you Lucianne folks already know that.

Mr Hanson covers everything beautifully. Reading what he writes is refreshing compared to just about every other columnist.

Our son-in-law pointed out last night that the "Pride Month" merchandizing to kids has been building momentum for a few years. However, something about the Bud Light fiasco flashed a huge strobe light into the eyes of a segment of the population that wasn't previously engaged. Anhueser Busch might have finally popped the festering pimple.

It's no mystery why the left has been able to get this far on the road to lunacy and the destruction of America. They stole the power in Washington and Academia and they have put on a forced marketing campaign that makes their numbers seem much larger than they are. They have hours of idle time to get out, riot, shout and march and threaten those who just want to live their normal lives. Normal people now realize they must fight the battle before they can win it even though fighting the battle makes one an official domestic terrorist. Put that domestic terrorist patch proudly on your shoulder and join the fight. The trenches will be bloody but they always are.

I heard a conservative Jewish Rabbi yesterday on Eric Metaxas' program. His group is fighting to
"Take Back The Rainbow". I love that! The Rainbow in the bible was God's promise or pledge that He
would never again flood the world like He did when the world had become so evil and corrupt. The Rainbow
was a symbol of hope and God's promises.
I hate that the LGBTQA+ crazies have taken over our beloved biblical symbol of the Rainbow.
I promise never to use the rainbow and the Left's agenda/LBTQA+ in any conversation and fight back.
I hope others will do the same.
