The media has the power to keep it from swinging back now. They control the narrative, the narrative controls the people.
I do think $5 per gallon gas and $60k alternatives that are out of reach for much of the country help push back against their BS. I don’t know if it will be enough. |

That grandfather clock of yours laying in the left corner of the room all busted is using the wrong pronoun.

Seems like a mistake for the left to be attempting to "bolt the pendulum in place" as some in this thread have stated.

Take all the ground you can......and then fortify it. So far, this Marxist train is running full throttle with zero reason to slow down in any way. This is like a domestic Dunkirk........minus the rescue effort. |

Quoted: We are on the full left swing right now. We will see how long it takes to move back and how long....I don't think long. The right/left dynamic just isn't accurate, the actual cycle is civilization vs barbarism. A civilized man understands the value of delayed gratification, legacy building, and prudence. Barbarians run on hedonistic impulses, mock wisdom, and create nothing of enduring value. It's more than a political shift, we're at the onset of a new dark age. You can try to clean up modern hedonistic barbarism by screaming "love wins" and 'social justice" all you want, but it's still infanticide, genital mutilation, collective theft, and racism, etc,etc. As time goes by we become more like barbarians and identify less with classical and Western social standards. At this point, our society can only produce Jersey Shore and "wet ass pussy", it will take several generations of rebuilding the culture before we'll see another Thomas Aquinas, Beethoven, Michelangelo, or G. K. Chesterton. Or even be able to understand what was so great about them. If there's a pendulum it will probably be melted down and made into spinners for so rapper's car. |

Pendulums don't swing back the other direction if they get pinned in place.
The current pendulum is not free swinging. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You think we'll get to the point where we could elect a hard right politician that uses terminology like "Super Predators", wants to fiercely protect our borders, and signs into legislation Christian doctrine that acts in the "defense of marriage"? Oh wait. . . . that's all mainstream policy from well known democrats 20ish years ago. Fact of the matter is that we've been going hard left for 70 years now, only the goal post changes. There's no swing back brother. This man gets it. And eventually, the .gov will lock down all actionable "swinging" and the only change you will have is in the hearts and minds of people -- but no action. Because all that action will be illegal. We're already damn close to "thought crimes", since if you were born white, you're automatically a hateful Nazi racist bigot white supremacist. |

Nice Here's a couple questions for the group Do you have more or less freedom today than you did on January 20th, 2017? Do you have more or less freedom today than you did on January 20th, 2013? I don't think we have any members who are old enough to honesty answer "yes" Now, tell me more about this pendulum and how it's going to swing back |

When has this alleged pendulum ever swung right?
 We're a rock rolling downhill. Occasionally it slows down or stop, but it never reverses. |

My opinion....The second amendment and 2A gun rights have come a long way from the AWB. We will see if we are all huge pussies and sit on our couches....and complain on the internet...while our rights are taken away. |

We will see if we are all huge pussies and sit on our couches....and complain on the internet...while our rights are taken away. Clinton enacting an AWB and then his predecessor Bush letting it lapse is hardly an achievement for our second amendment rights, if anything it's proof of concept for ambitious progressives ahead of their time. If it wasn't clear from my original post; the fascist, extreme far right, Hilter reincarnate Trump presidency would pass for almost any garden variety 90's democrat if you exclusively looked through the lens of policy. What that should tell you is that every time since the 50's the pendulum has swung, it swings a little further left and a little less to the right. Progressive icons from 20 years ago would be branded Nazi extremists if they attempted to run on the same platform today. Complaining on a conservative gun forum and calling people pussies isn't going to kick off Red Dawn II, the pendulum isn't swinging back. Best you can do is invest your money wisely, keep your family close, stay healthy, and live your best life. I don't believe future Americans will have it as well as we do today. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When you nationalize 10M-20M illegals already here and you then swing open the border and allow hoards of Central Americans to flow endlessly across the Rio Grande, the pendulum politically ain't swingin' anywhere. The goal here is multigenerational, unchallengeable power and the swinging political pendulum will be affixed to the left for many, many years. A demographic shift that absolutely will assure this. It amazes me that, at this point given all we have experienced, this dynamic is still not crystal clear to some. Maybe this will help lift the fog for some.....

There has never been a pendulum that swings back and forth. It goes one way at different speeds which might give the non- observant the illusion it's swinging.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just like it did for the the Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc...? No history of nations swinging back from hard left, they succumb to it, millions die, millions are destitute, millions suffer, generation wealth is destroyed and it may eventually collapse even further before bouncing back still further left than center. This. I wish people would stop talking about the non-existent pendulum. I don't even know how someone would see a pendulum. |

Well he is a modern Republican I guess, which is really what Democrats were in the 80's-90s. The Democrats are socialists. Trump was never a conservative that cared about budgets or the 2A, but at least he didn't hate this country with a passion of 10 suns like China Joe does. |

Quoted: We are on the full left swing right now. We will see how long it takes to move back and how long....I don't think long. You're wrong. The left is consolidating hegemonic power right now and are unironically, openly, talking of putting you in a boxcar for transport to a camp for reprogramming, whatever that means. My estimation is that means liquidation of undesirables. The only, and I mean ONLY way this swings back is through violence, period. The Jews who died in camps wished they had resisted even with fists and sticks as they were led into showers. Liberals are absolutely, 100%, planning on genocide. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They've locked the pendulum to the left. It's never coming back to the right. Those of us that are old and don't have amnesia know that it's never swung to the right, so it can't go "back". It's just an illusion because it slows down for awhile. Maybe a few minor things change, maybe the unemployment doesn't suck as much, or gas prices fall a little temporarily. It swings to the left in increments, if it swings at all. |
