and people are waking up to this, tossing the greens, and embracing rights and nationalist ideas rather than be eaten by pseudoscience cults and globalists.
pretending to play at “centrism” while getting played like a $4 banjo by radical groups making extreme demands because “we should compromise” is not a path to success when your opposition excels at weaponizing empathy and trait empathization, rigging systems, and making up lysenko level “science” to justify ideology and to gin up pretext for power grabs. it’s the road to repeated rookings.
past a point, you simply cannot compromise with people. compromise presumes reasonableness, and that’s a very expensive assumption about unreasonable people.
they will not respond by seeking to work with you or understand you. they will just keep surging to ever greater extremes so that “splitting the difference” keeps sliding ever in their direction. this is the original “give them an inch and they’ll take you a mile” gang.

I am not a drinker but recognize the bottle as iconic. Love the new name for Dougie.
