I hope that a bunch of small victories will get us closer, at least, to where we want to be. I'm guessing the bottom up approach will be the winning strategy, because clearly working from the top down is just too daunting.

School boards, local elections, county positions, then working our way up the chain.

I don't know. Nothing is impossible, I suppose.

I'm in Southern California where the "fight or flight" conundrum is being felt by many. The bottom up strategy has been proven to work - by the left. Conservatives will find it difficult because our natures are not to inflict our will on others. We don't spend time thinking about making society different than it is. We just want to go to work, make some money, have our family and friends and live according to our beliefs and assume everyone else is doing the same thing. We've had a big awakening.

I'm in SoCal also. You are correct. As a conservative American, I really just want my government(s), including the administrative state, to just leave me alone and let me live my life, but they don't have it in them to do that. I'm not interested in inflicting my will on others. I want to live under the terms of The US Constitution.

In the sixties and seventies, we would have been called the "silent majority". Its past time for us to stop voting for the president every four years, then going to sleep with the hope that it will all work out.

If the past 2 years has taught me anything, its that we've been letting ourselves be manipulated and controlled. The plandemic has exposed much. Time to try to fix it.

After 64 years in SoCal, I lost patience and moved to FL last year. I hated to leave but glad i did.
