8. I've accepted the fact most will never see it that way

That doesn’t necessarily mean I won’t listen to what they have to say about current events. I think everyone here can agree Reagan was one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had, but in reality there a lot of people who think he was a sweet old man who liked jelly beans. Rick Wilson or Steve Schmidt self immolating on air for past sins won’t fundamentally change that.

I’ve also accepted the fact there is always going to be a chunk of Americans who believe just as passionately as we do that Democrats are a threat to the Republic. And still more who can’t make up their mind or are willfully ignorant. I don’t ever see a day where we completely master a narrative to the point that the other side is rendered irrelevant or in ashes. I do thank you for your thoughtful reply. This topic tends to get kind of nasty.

I don't really need them to do that BannonsLiver Dec 2019 #1
