It’s hard to fight the activists when they comprise the entire government.

On the other hand, it’s also serving as a spotlight on the problem. Many of those involved seem to be obsessed with bragging about how they’re pulling the wool over the eyes of those who might object (particularly parents) or finding ways to bypass rules specifically set in place to block what they’re doing.

“A catchy idea isn’t an object that will just let you put it down, it’s a slippery, multi-tentacled monster that wants nothing more than to crawl in your brain, grab the levers of motivation and speech, and use you to spread itself to others. Anyone entering the octopus-wrestling arena needs to take proper care.”

However, we didn’t have the internet and phones that are, in effect, computers. Nor did we have social media. Social media acts like a typhoid Mary, spreading these mental viruses more efficiently than anyone could have imagined. I think that’s one major difference today. Another is the mostly biased, partisan MSM.

Stopping the activists? Direct action will be called fascist, transphobic, tyrannical, or worse. The battlefield is tilted in the activists’ favor. Having parents better informed and organizing parent groups to obstruct/cancel school programs that introduce trans ideas is where the battle must go.

Chris Rufo has a book (America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything) coming out in days on this. And I second Cornflour’s advice to watch his video.

People are going after the activists. There has been a sudden surge in awareness by the population at large of this issue, and there’s been a lot of pushback.

The problems are –

1.). The pushback isn’t universal. A lot of people are supporting the trans activists to be “nice”.
2.). The Powers That Be are heavily invested in this for some reason. Nearly the full force of the left’s power structure (including the media) is invested in pushing this agenda, lionizing and protecting activists, and making it impossible for parents to interfere. Things are so absurd that one school board recently announced it was continuing with it’s LGBTQ agenda pushing even though a poll indicated that 84% of the parents in the school district were opposed. Even some Republicans are looking the other way on this.
