One of the things that happens when you fight back—*really* fight back, like mounting full-bore counter-propaganda campaigns that change laws across the nation—is that you force the enemy to justify itself

And it *hates* that

This is why takes like this—"Oh no, people who don't like wokeness are finally *doing* something about it!"—are so embarrassing

People get inspired when you take action. And action forces your enemies to step out from behind the curtain

Lemon wants this fully liberal process of dialogue where you just reason everyone to the principled conclusion

How on earth can you begin to "reason with the public" when the institutions that tell them what truth is are fully owned by your political enemies?

It turns out this isn't a rhetorical question.

You seize power, wield it to legislate against their desires, and force *them* to "reason with the public"

That's how you get them to say things like "Your children aren't yours, they belong to the state"

Look: through wielding even a modest amount of power (something that paralyzed liberals are horrified by, especially when the hated cons do it), you provoke An Actual Political Dialogue

This is the liberal goal, right? Open political discussion of honest, principled positions?

If the process of wielding some small amount of power provokes the desired *outcome*—honest political dialogue, for once—and the speaker is suddenly horrified by the *process*?

Then the outcome they claimed to be fighting for was never the goal.

The pushback against this ideology, that is finally generating real dialogue, is so, so minor beside the forces and institutions it's up against

Anyone who's terrified by this first step was never interested in the process of letting people decide where the next step might lead.

The regime thinks that withholding medicine from white people is "justice"

When Rufo outlaws CRT, senatorial candidates like @bgmasters are inspired to make it national political dialogue

This is what a real democracy looks like. What are you afraid of?
