tells me one thing...
Emerging demographics are telling the people who are pulling the strings and controlling the money that it's now or never.
We can really be seeing the beginning of a political watershed here in the US as well as around the world.
People are feeling more and more empowered across the globe. And people around the world are starting to see how interconnected we all truly are.
I truly believe that is the motivating factor in this unprecedented ideological turn backward.

(45,558 posts)I think the year it became clear the ERA was not going to be ratified, the right wing became embolden.
As always, the left took it for granted that the right was no longer relevant and the American people and the rest of the world have been trying to recover ever since.

(397 posts)For too long the global elites have had us 'in death ground'- a battle field on which the only way to survive is to fight. Now we have started the counterstroke against the monsters and we have to continue to press on the attack where the advantage exists. Otherwise we will loose impetus and be forced to retreat. The party that's strangled this country since at least the Reagan era can be brought down and taken apart for all time....

Thats their biggest goal right now, to control (or cease, if need be) all activity on the net they dont agree with.
