As we adapt to living in Oceania (see map<\/a>)\u00a0it\u2019s important to be aware of the differences between what we thought conditions were and how they really are.\u00a0 The point is even if intellectually we know what our government really is, unless we explicitly list all of the differences, we may find ourselves lapsing into error on specific points that we haven\u2019t considered.<\/p>\n

As a for instance, someone who only recently became a parent may not have considered the reality of using the public schools.\u00a0 Luckily all the attention over critical race theory in the schools has sounded the alarm for many parents but unless you consciously look ahead a few years you might be caught by surprise at the point when your kids start school.\u00a0 You have to think ahead.<\/p>\n

And there are a thousand things like that which are affected by the regime we live under.\u00a0 And because of this multitude of problems that we face it seems to me that the best strategy for conservatives would be to create an overarching organization to concentrate the resources for the whole population and use the economies of scale to provide clout on our behalf.\u00a0 As an example, we might look at the way AARP acts as an advocate for the benefit of older people.\u00a0 By utilizing the membership fees and the buying power of this large pool of individuals they are able to get reduced cost benefits from insurance companies, drug companies, vacation resorts, airlines and many other businesses.<\/p>\n

Just imagine if a \u201cclub\u201d with over a hundred million members negotiates with a company or some other organization.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call it the AANP (American Association of Normal People).\u00a0 You could only imagine the leverage they would have.\u00a0 Suppose you were a publisher of school text books and such an organization said they were interested in making a deal to buy books for all their private schools from you but only if you produced a line of history and social studies texts that didn\u2019t include the propaganda that the Left has been pushing for decades.\u00a0 If this was a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year, do you suppose you might put aside your ideology to get that contract?\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing the answer is yes.\u00a0 Now this supposes that there is a whole network of private schools that would want these text books.\u00a0 But once again, with an organization to represent conservative parents I could see religious schools and other private schools organizing to standardize on non-woke text books.\u00a0 And if they did standardize, they could expect to reduce cost by this same economy of scale.<\/p>\n

And this is just one example.\u00a0 Imagine if Netflix was approached with a proposal to provide a premium service for conservatives that included only entertainment that wouldn\u2019t disgust its viewers.\u00a0 I think Netflix would jump at the chance to expand their business.\u00a0 Who knows, Netflix might even be able to steal away the entertainment crown from Disney and start producing superhero movies and cartoons that parents and children could watch together without embarrassment.<\/p>\n

But the biggest benefit of having an advocacy organization for conservatives would be the clout it would have with Republican politicians.\u00a0 First off it could objectively rate the existing Republican politicians and provide a scorecard.\u00a0 And then it could become a lobbying organization to bribe our representatives to actually act on our behalf.\u00a0 I know it\u2019s shocking to think of Republicans forced to help us but it could work.\u00a0 There would be a carrot and a stick to help them remember why they\u2019re in Washington.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s what seems to make sense to me.\u00a0 Why it hasn\u2019t already been organized is a mystery to me.\u00a0 Surely all these conservative think tanks must have some people who work on practical efforts.\u00a0 But this could be part of that same problem I mentioned at the beginning of this post.\u00a0 We still think this is our country and that it\u2019s working for us instead of against us.\u00a0 When we get that through our thick skulls then maybe we\u2019ll start to get organized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
