This right here is why the left wins and the right always loses.

This quote from No Country for Old Men is very apt. "If the rule you follow brought you here, then what was the point of the rule"?

The right has a way of saving libs from themselves. Sometimes conservatives need to step back and let liberals fail.

The Oregon decriminalization of drugs is an example. The soft on crime DAs is another. Gender transitioning is yet another.

It will backfire. Always does.

Knowing when to step in vs letting them fail and choosing certain battles is key. I’d suggest the border crisis isn’t one conservatives want to sit out. Can’t put that toothpaste back in the tube.

So your cliche about the rule - sometimes it’s not clear where it’s taking folks - But enough time - and for those of us who see the forest for trees - we know exactly where it’s headed. And is usually has a lesson for the history books involved.

Cant legislate morality, and really, can’t legislate to prevent progressive failure (depending on what’s at risk).
