The people are not going to rise. They're never going to wake up. They will sit there and suffer endlessly as things continually get worse. They will accommodate themselves to whatever is inflicted upon them, so long as it's gradual and done by degrees.
This is what Progressives have banked everything on. They genuinely believe they can remake mankind in their own image, as long as it's done in phases. They will take an issue on the extreme edge of the Overton Window and force it into the mainstream no matter how unpopular it may be, because they believe that a generation or two down the road, that contentious topic or issue will become the new normal.
And they're at least partially right. Human nature can't be changed, no matter how they may try, but they can certainly normalize almost anything if given enough power, money, time, and above all else, institutional capture to take something deeply controversial or unpopular and enforce it with religious-like orthodoxy.
Waiting for a people who have been conditioned their entire lives into accepting Progressivism as just a normal part of the modern political discourse to reject the entire ideology root and stem is like waiting for rural Afghan goat herders to reject the Taliban and embrace free market capitalism and liberal democracy.
It's not going to happen.
The people will never rise up on their own and overthrow a Progressive regime while living inside a world that's entirely built by that regime.
But that doesn't mean the regime itself can't be overthrown at all. It just requires knowing what must be done, having the courage to do it, and obtaining the necessary political power to make it happen.
