It will take time, but the narratives they've been spinning are coming apart at the seams. It used to be that the progressive narrative was very nice, very neat and a pretty easy sell.
-Race is a social construct
-Gender is a social construct
-Black underachievement is the result of racism
-White achievement is because of white privilege
-The wealth of the West is mostly stolen and comes from imperialism and slavery
-Islam is a religion of peace, and only one percent of Muslims are radicals
-All religions are equally bad, and religious fundamentalism is the real problem
-Diversity is "our strength"
-Mass immigration improves the country
Etc. There was a time when one could claim these things, and it seemed to have a lot of explanatory value. All of those claims are imploding. I warn against being too optimistic though; a cornered animal can lash out.
They can and do make some of those true. And some were true until they changed them. For example, less than one percent of any group is radical--until you bomb the shit out of that group day and night. Then, suddenly, mysteriously, those numbers inexplicably change...
Or, at least, those who talk in terms of 'spreading democracy' pretend to consider the changes inexplicable.
What does wanting to curb immigration have to do with "racism"? Further, Muslim is not a race. Furthermore, what valid reason is their to import foreign Muslims, anyway? There isn't one other than the multikulti globalist social engineering agenda.
And every time people just like you jump with both feet on the bandwagon to 'bomb the towelheads', you give 'The Left' the excuse and the impetus to 'import foreign Muslims'.
Congratulations must be in order for 'The Right' for giving 'The Left' the excuse to do what 'The Right' doesn't want done. Right?
And then, of course, friction results, and someone gets shot, and the call goes out to grab the guns. And all because some bloodthirsty idiots who want to think of their nation as the bad ass top dog got talked into bombing some 'towelheads' who never did a thing to them and didn't pose the slightest threat to them.
I'm not mentioning any names, but somebody's is getting gamed...
