This is a war of cultures and one will win, one will lose. If the other side wins our lives will forever be changed for the far worse.
A former member of the Reagan Revolution has written very well on this, it it he says:
One way or the other, the Culture War's stalemate is about to be broken.Study history, and you will learn that there are two kinds of wars: There are short military ones, such as World Wars I and II, in which armies and navies collide until one side wins and the other loses. And there are long ideological wars, such as the Cold War, in which short bursts of fighting are separated by long periods of political maneuvering. In these long ideological wars, the outcome isn't determined by firepower but by will. That's because the aggressor's objective isn't to kill the defenders, but to wear them down until they no longer have the courage and stamina to keep resisting.The defenders win only when they stop merely resisting -- in other words, trying just to not lose -- and start playing offense. For example, by the late 1970s the Free World's will to resist the Soviet Union's endless challenges had nearly evaporated. Détente was just a palatable word for surrender. And then -- unexpectedly and virtually at the same moment -- three individuals most people had never before heard of exploded onto the scene and into power. They were Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John-Paul II - none of whom, by the way, had any foreign policy experience before taking office. Their objective wasn't to "not lose" the Cold War, but rather to end it with victory for the Free World. Together they threw the switch from playing defense to playing offense, stunning the Kremlin's over-confident leaders who believed that history was on their side. Within a decade, the Cold War was over and the Soviet Union had ceased to exist.
........................But this election isn't really about these issues. This election is about who we are.
If you care at all about the epic battle we are in you must read this article. Yes both sides are imperfect but one side is less imperfect than the other. We must support and defend the life we thought we loved when we became sentient beings from our mom's womb. Don't let anyone steal that dream from you. They are trying.
