I want to draw attention to several articles that illustrate that culture change and culture challenge is very much a two way street. For most conservatives it probably seems that culture change is driven by the Left and headed toward the Left. That the Left is pushing such change and succeeding in some areas is undoubted, and reporting on that in the MSM is biased to increase that perception. However, there are also signs of reaction.
As a 35+ year resident of what is called the Inland Empire, Riverside/San Bernardino California, I became aware of Democratic Calls for their followers to move to Red areas to flip them. One by one they have succeeded. About 25 years ago a Woman wrote a letter to the editor about her concern of our Air Pollution. At that particular point I can attest that California Air was a lot lot lot better than it was in 1960 and thought it odd until I read the rest of her post. She told of how she had recently gotten her Degree in Sociology and how she had researched the Social/Economic outlook for the area before moving SOUTH from San Jose and was now looking to get involved with ORGANIZING. These people tell us what and when they are going to do something and are shocked when they do. If we only had an organization that made people aware of things going on in their area but THAT too died some time back, while Joseph Goebbels smiles
The business climate in Texas is better than CA, NY, NJ, IL alright, a low bar . . . BUT nowhere near as good as it should be. Our property taxes are totally, completely out of control, the faceless bureaucrat appraisers and taxing entity officials shift blame back and forth. Californians are shocked by their first appraisal notices after relocating here. Business relocations are facilitated by property tax abatement of 90% for 10 years and by public funds doled out by the Governor from the so called Enterprise fund. Practices that were once prohibited by the Texas constitution, I voted against that amendment BTW.
If and when Caterpillar moves some manufacturing to Texas let me know. Ford had a plant in Dallas that closed 50 years ago if a new one is built anywhere in Texas, again let me know. Not to mention the closure of many oil field related manufacturing plants like National Oilwell, Gardner Denver and many more in the mid 1980's. Northrup Grumman went away shortly after the B-2's were finished, yes they built a lot of the sub assemblies in Dallas.
Marriage was destroyed by no fault divorce laws of the past half century. The marriage contract should be treated in law as a life long binding agreement, the plaintiff who files to dissolve the marriage should take nothing, unless there are proven statutory reasons. A divorce should never be granted to a couple with minor children except in the worst of circumstances.
At least there has been, so far this summer enough wind to keep the lights and a/c on.
AND Greg Abbott is actually doing very little to stop the INVASION from the south.
I was surprised at the take no prisoner approach of the Ca anti Gay marriage initiative opponents. Destroying peoples lives and businesses was seen as an acceptable cost.
And the same intensity is showing in the trans fight.
If Obergefell is to eventually be overturned due to lack of any constitutional basis, it will be interesting to see how such a case would be brought before the court.

I am confident Republicans will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Now HERE'S some culture change for ya:

As well as against Trump.
It’s uncompromising, and just plain mean.
More cultural change?
