How is it a mistake? How would anyone know? As far as I can tell, The Left has been completely successful with censorship & Canceling. Affirmative Action, on which all of this is based, has only grown, all resistance crushed. When you have complete control, there aren't any mistakes.
Prohibition.
The messaging gets tighter and tighter.
Finally they pass some fool decree like "No drinking alcohol", figuring that they've got the power so now everyone must listen to them.
Then they watch the whole nation go rogue and ignore them.
They slowly start to realize that they've legislated themselves into illegitimacy.
They're no longer governering, they're dictating, and the populace at large is ignoring them.
Whoops.

That's how.

I think conservatives are misreading the situation if they think the left is ascendant here

this is the utter defeat of the left, this is what total defeat looks like

they have abandoned all their principles, they have embarked upon a suicide mission

this is the anomy of the left, they are destroying themselves and trying to take the ship down with them

That's my take.
They "peaked" with Obama.
Thought they won a mandate to reshape the world, got waaaaay ahead of themselves.
Trump was a slap in the face that still has them reeling.
Now they're coming with twice as much fury, but only half as much support, or less.
They aren't on the cusp of total victory.
They're throwing punches in all directions because they got rocked by a right hook and are almost out on their feet.

this is Jonestown on an exponential scale

if you go back and look at that cult, it was a leftist doomsday cult, mirroring the left of today

I'm not the world's biggest Darryl Cooper fan, but he nailed the shit out of his Jim Jones series. Time machine right back to our childhood, Smits. Now the same bullshit in '21, just like you said, on an exponential scale. That is to say, I can clearly see a new order of magnitude in many ways.

I said to the wife, it's a like a John Carpenter horror movie from the 1970's

she says, "yeah, except it's boring"

I said c'mon, baby girl, I bring the excitement, don't I keep you on your toes ?

big smile, that cheered her up "that's true" said she

Christine is a highly underrated JC flick. Awesome soundtrack, improves on King's story, hawt-hawt-HOT love interest, and of course, freakin' Harry Dean.

1983 was better than whatever shit the youngsters are consuming today. Bet dat
