Will there come a day when fed-up Americans push back against all this stuff? Yes.
How long have I been hearing that one? My whole life?
Normie conservatives like Kass are hope peddlers little different from the utopians of the left, little different from those Christians who keep falsely predicting the Second Coming of Christ, heralds all of a future which never comes, or of one which at best miserably disappoints.
From time to time the hope of the left does become reality, but incrementally and dimly reflective of the real thing, now pallid in appearance (the New Deal), now grotesque as the case may be (happy Birthing Person Day), while the hope of the right never so much as impedes this interminable process slouching leftward.
The normie right never asks itself why this is so, why conservatism is so impotent.
The answer is the left has a stronger faith than the right. It is why the left is in the streets burning the place down and the right just sits on its hands.
How different were the people of the American founding era, who saw no contradiction with their religion in taking up arms against an unbridled king. Today's conservatives are the loyalists of the founding era, hiding in their homes lest the unbridled find them out.
America today has been turned on its head. Secular faith has replaced religious faith. Down is Up, Left is Right, Evil is Good, Bondage is Freedom. America is the Crown of 1776, ripe for a counterrevolution.
Shall it be prevented?
Americans like Thomas Jefferson called for watering the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
By their fruit ye shall know them.
