All the money, campaign strats in the world aren't much against decades of Marxist brainwashing in education, entertainment and other media.

It's like Sisyphus dealing with multiple boulders.

We got the Senate, which is great for obvious reasons, but the fact still remains about half of our countrymen are lost to the left.

Maybe not all that half but a significant amount - a hell of a lot more than 3%.

The parallels between now and the antebellum period are only more pronounced - including California trying to claim their slave class (illegals) as population for representation in the census.

I really don't see a doesn't involve balkanization at the very least, or a full on bonafide Civil War.

pissed, sad, or resigned or maybe all 3 at once.
