I'm thinking it's something close to the plot of Demolition Man.

-Offensive or crude speech or behavior is banned or gets one fined.

-The Me Too movement has prohibited contact between the sexes, as that is rape.

-Total weapon control allows only criminals from the past to be armed and dangerous.

-Those with a different viewpoint are banished to the edges of society.

- The population worships the government and are ruled by a nanny state prude.

The libs will mock you but there is no end game for progressives.

So almost anything is on the table eventually.

They will eventually lead us to socialism if left unchecked.

here is your question to answer:...do we stop them before they stop us?...feel free to use your own words if you want to ...either we win or they win and there is no other choice...do you raise your kids or do they?

Just read George Orwell’s 1984. Mix in some Idiocracy and add a touch of Wal-E.

The greatest movie of 1993.

To add to the conversation. That society ended up being ok once John Spartan took care of the nefarious plot by Dr. Cocteau. So, perhaps, we would see a little revolution of our own.

Go and hang out on the streets of San Francisco for a day. You'll see progressive society first hand.

Try not to step in human feces.

It will take longer than 20 years--more like 50 to 75. The slower they go with progressing things through society and culture the less people will notice and the more comfortable people will get with it happening. You're on the right track though. The long, long, long term goal is to be able to label any speech or expression that promotes any kind of conservative ideas or philosophy as hate speech and punishable with time in prison.

You're correct, they'll laugh and call us crazy. However, 20 years ago, who in their right mind would have thought that it was acceptable for a man to enter the women's restroom simply because they felt like putting on some makeup & a dress?

Correction: Only speech offensive to the Dem party will be banned. Hate-speech towards Christians and white men will still be encouraged.

I’m just worried about what to do with the three seashells.

We're already several steps into this plan

Authoritarians usually demonize those with different viewpoints and call them "fringe" which is already happening among mainstream Progs. The next time Democrats regain power, you'll see a huge power grab.

We will probably have a civil war between now and then. If they try to impeach Trump after midterms and they are successful it will result in war.

By nature this is true. They are tinkerers. Everything can be fixed by government is their philosophy and by any means necessary. This is where progs and Libs vary. Libs have some guiding values (free speech, etc) where progs do not and are far more authoritarian.

Sodom circa 2000 BC. Want to stop it? Get control of the public school system. Start by eliminating the federal department of education. Fail to so that and you've already lost.

When the political correctness movement started in the early 90s I was telling people that long term this is a very dangerous thing for the country because once you open Pandora's Box you will never close it again. Even a lot of people on the right back then told me I was overreacting and it will never get that bad. It only took 25 years to get from there to here.

Most people have so much stuff going on in their lives from day to day that it is hard to really pay attention to the general zeitgeist of the country especially when it moves at the speed of plate tectonics. It is only when you go through the eventual earthquake that you notice the changes.
