At least from the right’s perspective, red-pilled people courageously shed their previous assumptions to realign from blissful ignorance to reality, often enduring significant social and professional consequences.
A related new term has emerged and quickly gained popularity on the right: “black-pilled.” While a red-pilled person typically finds conservatism unexpectedly, through a certain book or a particular professor, taking the “black pill” is fully intentional. Rather than prompting an exit from the matrix of leftist groupthink, however, taking the black pill means totally disengaging.
Black-pilled Americans have concluded politics and culture are so corrupt there’s no longer any use in trying to save them. Think of the hundreds of thousands of Republicans who stayed home during the U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia. Instead, they believe the only viable course of action is to pull the plug and fade to black.
This is wrongheaded. It’s cowardly and selfish, abandoning our fellow citizens to woke chaos. And it’s a surefire way to lose the republic once and for all.
Black-pilling apologists insist the storm has to pass eventually — perhaps 10, 20, or 50 years from now — so it’s better to save energy. Such an assumption is incredibly naïve.
Rather than assuming the evils of the world will retreat on their own, conservatives must proactively engage the fight. No corner can expect to escape wokeism’s ever-increasing political and cultural power if left unchecked. Not content to simply let conservatives retreat, the left is sniffing them out in their schools, jobs, and suspended social media accounts.
Take the example of leftist propaganda in public schools. Fed up with a barrage of wokeism and the diktats of self-seeking teachers’ unions, many parents over the past year have pulled their kids out of public education. In many cases, they’ve turned to homeschooling. Others have chosen private schools, religiously affiliated or otherwise.
There was recent reason to hope this would be an effective alternative to the public school’s propaganda-pushing. The Biden administration announced it would “vigorously” defend what had long been a commonly accepted position: religious schools should not be forced to contravene their theological beliefs, including those on human sexuality.
But it wasn’t enough for the left to win with an asterisk. LGBT activist Lauren Ober, for instance, described the religious exemption as “just a thinly veiled excuse for anti-LGBT hate and abuse.”
The director of the “Religious Exemption Accountability Project” declared the administration was “aligning itself with anti-LGBTQ hate in order to vigorously defend an exemption that everyone knows causes severe harm to LGBTQ students.” Meanwhile, PinkNews filed its story about the administration’s announcement under the categories “Christianity” and “homophobia.”
The left has been rapidly moving toward this point for years. In 2019, Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, once considered a leading Democrat presidential candidate, said every place of worship that defined marriage as between one biological man and one biological woman should lose its tax-exempt status. Beto was only slightly ahead of the curve. Without a doubt, there will be more presidential contenders next time around eagerly willing to take the same position.
While Biden makes empty and untrustworthy promises to religious institutions, the left will continue its crusade against people of faith like the Little Sisters of the Poor, and Christian bakers in Middle America merely using their artistic talents to provide for themselves and their families.
That a “religious exemption” is even considered controversial by coastal elites ought to alarm every American who believes our First Amendment freedoms are crucial to liberty and prosperity. It’s a very dangerous idea to let faceless administrative bureaucrats decide whether a Christian school is allowed to adhere to Christianity, an Islamic school to Islam, or a Jewish school to Judaism. Even worse, the loudest voices in the Democrat Party believe the answer is “no.”
The most influential and energized segment of the left is willing to skewer its own party to seize control of your children’s future. Monopolizing the next generation’s minds is the sine qua non of their quest to permanently change America.
Conservatives must not delude themselves into thinking they can just disengage from the culture war. The battle lines are drawn. And the left isn’t going to nicely make compromises and exceptions for you, no matter how far the bench you’re sitting on is from the field.

This! Within a generation none of us will be here to act as the last outposts of conservatism. By the time this upcoming generation reaches our age - many of us here anyway - they wont even remember our constitution or a time when we truly were a shining city on the hill.
Let me when the muster begins.

Well, as Obi-Wan once said (before they torched that series): "No, there is another..."
The home-schooled kids of today by and large will be the new standard-bearers of freedom and America. Insulated from the worst of the Leftist propaganda, well-educated to think critically, steeped in objective truth, and resistant to fallacies of the Marxist Democrats that work on the weak-minded, these kids ARE the future, and thank goodness for them. Also of note: the average home-schooled kid has a lot more brothers and sisters than the average Leftist democrat kid. Therefore, if smart people continue to pull their kids out of public propaganda schools and home-school instead, the next generation will be 9and already is starting towards becoming) more conservative and American values-oriented than ever before. So yes, there is hope, but it takes a lot of work and effort, and one must NOt give in to the lies and hatefulness of the Democratic Marxist Leftist. Ever.

Leftist propaganda in public schools. Why is this even an issue?
Tennessee is a deep red state with a super majority in both the Senate and House.
Why do TN Republicans allow leftist propaganda to continue in schools?
The same question stands for all other red states -- why?
What are our elected officials doing instead of fixing our schools?

Some are trying to fight it, but when you've been conceding the fight for decades and public education has gotten tot he point it is now, it's an uphill battle. There are at least some pushing back on Critical Racist Theory and other leftist garbage, but they're being fought tooth and nail.

I think the pushback has come from activist groups and parents, not the politicians. I think the people are forcing the politicians into action. Which is good, but politicians should also be taking the lead on things like this.
