4. Oh, I beg to differ
Conservatism and the psychology that drives is far from dying. It may be unpopular, but if there's one thing we can count on, it is the ability of conservatism to remain a potent force in the American psyche. I'm sure people thought that conservatism was done when the New Deal became an uncontested success story, but these guys have are too organized, are too passionate, and simply have too much money to count them out. Unfortunately we will have to contend with conservatism for a long time, even when it's clear that their ideas are a failure. The solution is to never get complacent, change the frames with which they use to misinform the American public, and remain on the offense indefinitely. We handed them too many easy victories, we simply can't afford to do that again.
