15 years of running political campaigns and rising fairly high in the Iowa GOP political structure, three basic principles for me distilled out of that:
1. Principle
2. Leverage
3. Will
Principle and all the things that go with it - honor, patriotism, morality duty, etc., is the thing that drives people for the good of all it's citizens. Those that lack it are simply about power, control, money, and oppressing any kind of dissent or competition.
Leverage - one of the great about Western society, is that when functioning, people could be moved by impactful oratory to do the right thing, or not do the bad thing. And not only on the moral plane, but the legislative one as well, resulting in good laws and stable society full of opportunity and order.
In today's more debauched times, that requires leverage. Particularly and especially with the Left and their whitewashed, facade 'morality' which turns everything upside down and opposite, it's the only thing that those of that perspective understand. They must lose the tangible in order to be reigned in.
A perfect example is the illegal fraud that has turd blossomed as a result if unchecked immigration and ridiculously lax handouts. It's an easy fix to track out all down and prosecute all the players, including the Rats, the judges and anyone else getting a piece of that money.
The third is Will. This is the good-men-do-nothing principle. If the political will would be applied, especially on say the fraud angle, the Rat party would be crippled if not destroyed. Then as
@Hoodat says, stop handing out free s**t, especially to illegals. Then watch it all dry up. With some fortuitous SCOTUS decisions and good legislation, we can leverage that. If we want to languish in fear and cowardice, then the Left will eat us alive.
The choice is pretty basic. We can shore up our country and get the ship moving forward again. We just got to understand those three principles and apply things correctly.
