Devolution to Revolution: An Already Demoralized U.S. is Now Being Destabilized

""A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information — the facts tell nothing to him." Just think here about how many today will react to air-tight, fact-based, logical arguments, not with assent or even open-minded pondering, but with angry rejection.
Note here that numbness to Truth is nothing new. British satirist Jonathan Swift observed hundreds of years ago already (I'm paraphrasing) that you "cannot reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into." The difference is that the process of demoralization in question yields large numbers of people egregiously detached from reality in a way that serves a specific agenda, and who are virtually impossible to change."

"Unless we can change our cultural trajectory, tyranny will be our lot. It's just a matter of time."
The Problem with George Will - By J.B. Shurk

"George Will's a funny guy. He is willing to aid our ideological foes for our own good. He will teach us how wrong we've been to support President Trump by facilitating Marxist socialism's stranglehold on what's left of America's Constitution. After fighting for Democrats to win everything this November, he will turn around and help us rebuild a Republican Party in his image for the miserable decades to come.
...
Twenty sixteen was a repudiation of the whole political system, including the dainty, impotent brand of conservatism that George Will has spent a lifetime peddling while the hard socialism he pretended to fight grew thicker and more resilient with each passing year.
...
If the Democratic Party represents the Marxist socialists, and the Republican Party concerns itself with making sure that only the "right" people rule while protecting our institutions at all costs, then what choice is left for the average American who puts personal freedom and our original constitutional protections ahead of marble halls and titles of eminence?
Republicans had a smorgasbord of options in 2016 and chose Donald Trump. Instead of reflecting on the meaning of that unexpected choice, Will has spent four years choosing to ignore it. He still does not understand why it happened and why it will happen again in 2020. By waving Trump voters away as little more than brainwashed and easily duped pawns, he clings to an image of the Republican electorate that no longer exists."
