Santorum: Founders Were Right to Prevent Black People from Voting

33. I think they are only making gains

because they are willing to be extreme at the price of their legitimacy out of desperation. The key is to keep them out of power, of course, long enough that all their predictions of doom fall flat and their movement becomes thoroughly disgraced in the eyes of the world as nothing they claim comes to fruition.

With women's rights coming to the forefront, it gives Hillary Clinton strong momentum in 2016. That would at least be another four years of a democratic presidency if she wins and her win, after they have mightily protested the eight years of the Obama administration, might be the message that finally knocks the wind out of their sails.

And I also question the sticking power and loyalty of their constituents to conservative ideology, which is often very much religion based. People learn and mature and eventually start to question and outgrow and challenge patriarchal ideas because they are so constricting on their own followers. They are naturally oppressive and people don't like being oppressed or accused of oppression. It's an intellectually limiting and, ultimately, self-defeating ideology.
