When I bought my piece of land, the price listed was $37k
A principled conservative would say “Ok, here is $38K I hope you like me”
It made me super uncomfortable, but I offered $30k
The guy counter offered with $32k. Deal made
The Overton Window shifted from $37k to $32k

When I interviewed for a job, they asked me what I wanted to make, I said $50k.
At the time this made me hugely uncomfortable.
They laughed & offered me $30K.
I said no thanks & left the meeting.

An hr later they called to offer me $38k
I was too scared to counter for $45k, I took the offer
The Overton Window settled at whoever had more fear, more to lose, the first to fold.
My demand was extreme.
Their demand was extreme.
It settled at what was acceptable to both.

See how this works?
It is our fear that stops us from pushing
People will squirm & blush & call you names
But the window settles to what you will accept
Stop accepting their demands!

“If you let someone get away with stealing your chickens, don’t be surprised when they rape your daughters.”
What you accept will continue, in increasing measure.

Politics is war by negotiation.
Our Representatives are our negotiators.
Stop accepting Principled Conservatives as your negotiators.
It is time for Fearless Men of Integrity, who are willing to die before they accept the demands of our enemies.
