While a coherent set of ideas, that’s not a “plan,” but a description of a desired end-state. It assumes no resistance from our current government, parties, academia and media. It cannot happen until and unless those we have put into power across these areas are removed. If we truly care about Western Civ and the future we are leaving to our kids, this removal must be now, must be without mercy, by any means necessary and - and this is the truly hard part - not result in the pendulum swinging too far back the other way.
You can't end a bad idea without bloodshed. It would be wonderful if we could, but nothing in history points to that possibility. For the majority of Western history, slavery wasn't considered a bad idea. Not until the Reformation and Enlightenment laid the foundation for the moral and legal evolution. People invested in bad ideas aren't just going to toss them aside because of a little (or even a lot of) persuasion. You can't just end the Democratic party, not without ending the lives of not just the leadership, but those in the ranks who support it. I doubt many Republican party members have the stomach for that and clearly no Republican leader suggests otherwise.
The Democrats believe they are playing the part of women in The Handmaid's Tale; no Republican believes they are playing the men. That asymmetry is actually what keeps the peace.
Perhaps I have the classical devil on one shoulder and angel on the other trying to persuade me. There are times when I 100% agree with ITD and RC’s position that this will come to bloodshed or a civil war. And there are times where I feel we can’t possibly be thinking that way. Perhaps if we can keep MAGA going after Trump, with strong but less offensive leaders (JD&MR?) the Dems will realize they are losing support and will have to center their position to stay relevant?
Tell me, when did America cease being great, such that it was necessary to make it great [once] again? I think it's a fabulous if nebulous slogan, but really, when did America descend from greatness?
The toughest nut will be public education. Gramschi’s cavalry charge through public education has turned them into the equivalent of the Augean Stables - relativistic, post-modernist and “critical theory” dung produced by scholarly oxen of the past half-century piled higher and deeper everywhere!!!Most of the NEA teachers themselves completely indoctrinated and useless. Solution unclear.
Starting with Academia: Cut off grants and money by corps. Put pressure there and insist the academia teach true Democracy and accuracy in historical evidence. And also promote economic growth i.e. capitalism. Just for starters.

So how do you define a “plan?”

Grading in higher education is like High School in Lake Woebegone where all students “were above average.”
I shall nominate you as the first Secretary of Civilization Renewal!

Really?!?
Sure, be specific please.
