But I’m heartened by the example set by Virginia and San Francisco parents, who not only saw past the fraudulence of the American version of leftism, but demonstrated their continued faith in democracy itself, by showing up at the ballot box and taking personal responsibility for the direction of their communities. They were not satisfied with convenient explanations that some forces beyond their control were oppressing or victimizing them. They realized their own mistakes, took responsibility for them, and decided to make improvements.
