Perhaps President Trump will radicalize the Left. We'll get our escalation this way and the blackpilling people will be good with it, too, right?

Being black-pilled means never having to say you were wrong.

My worry is this optimistic sort for some reason generally includes the type who conveniently forget, or push under the rug, the role of the agents of dissolution, and whose children, if not themselves, are then blindsided by the same. This has happened too many times. I just want people to have a memory and a willingness to punish our enemies, not even for revenge but because there is no other way to stop them, let alone heal the damage, other than to identify them and attack them like the immune system would a virus. This not limiting itself to "the bad ones", which amounts to a one-time selection of the most convenient targets, but categorically and systemically. Anything less has proven a delusional state of compromise which prevents any lasting revitalization.

Towards that end, however, I'll aim to be positive, because that worry doesn't change the value of what you've said.
