"The left has never been in such a position of power in our institutions, and they know it. They are aggressively trying to stamp out the opposition.

Our side needs to be smarter and stronger. We must be the adults who stand soberly by while the whole world shrieks and panics about something.

We no longer have the option of riding the initial news cycle and accepting it at face value. Our failure to hold the line and speak hard truths has made the left’s job of cementing a lie in the minds of the people infinitely easier. From now on, when the next major event arises, let us resolve to set the narrative ourselves instead of being consumed by it."

But we republicans have a couple of things in our favor:  We are not liars and we know how to LEARN to make things right, if only we'll do it - - it is the RESOLVE the right seems to lack.  We must get busy and fix that.  The easiest way I know of is to get rid of all the dead wood in some of the "high offices".
