Andrea Tantaros on the Next Wingnut Wave

Winning elections is nice. Reforming the government is also nice. But Tantaros makes the larger point that the next pushback is cultural. Not the usual sad Custer's-Last-Stand that conservatives have called a culture war; whining about gay people and rap music is not changing the culture. If we're going to make a mark on the culture, we have to do so by actually competing in the cultural marketplace. That means our books, movies, and everything else we produce needs to not suck more than it needs to be conservative. Let the spoonful of sugar weigh more than the medicine, is my point.
