Dear Sir:
The brilliant plan to reclaim your dominance as leader-of-the-free-world-in-waiting is as follows:
- Design a society of suburban exclusion, guarantee that the plebs will be safely insulated from each other by race, religion and monetary hierarchy. Place these suburbs just far enough away from each other that the only recourse is individual transportation, and actively slash the funding for mass transportation in the interests of "self-sufficiency".
- Actively seek to ghetto liberals and other workshys into large cities, where their voting districts can be easily managed and Gerrymandered into forcing them into a hatred of outsiders as ill-bred and unmannered. This will allow for stronger and more permanent alienation from the urban and the rural, allowing for quiet and unnoticed ideological conquest.
- Raise the price of gasoline so high that the plebs will no longer have the option of going anywhere. Granted, the only reason they go anywhere is for cheap alcohol and plentiful prostitution, but the point is to isolate them from each other, so that the only reason they use individual transportation is for going back and forth between work, essentially focusing their lifestyles with a daily devotional of commute.
- With their options for freedom of movement severely limited, the proles will turn to alcohol, tobacco, illegalized narcotics and racism thinly veiled as fundamentalist religion to while away the time between work and Bible study. Slowly raise the taxes on alcohol and tobacco until they are nearly as expensive as gasoline, forcing the illegal drug trade into a skyrocket. Amp up the "War on Drugs", terrify the young into religion, make sure to plant political pawns in every church, and before long you've got a nice, tidy little society of exurban sheep willing to do whatever you tell them to do.
- In the meanwhile, make urban areas fabulously attractive to liberals, malcontents and perverts, allowing them to fester in their little Masque of Red Death fortresses, dying of drug use, sexually transmitted diseases, crime and pounding against the walls of their cage with impotent hatred for a system they no longer have any chance of changing. Occasionally allow them to riot or lynch a few corporate symbols, turn these into repeated media spectacles, to further terrify the suburban and rural into horror.
- Occasionally run false-flag operations of terrorism to continually remind the proles of their mortality, increasing the importance of religion and political orthodoxy, ad infinitum. Make it evident that the government processes are failing, all the better to guide the stupid toward corporate fascism. From time to time, allow the electricity or gasoline supplies to fail, giving them a glimpse of what could happen should they fail to blindly obey.
With these suggestions in mind, you should have no problem whatsoever maintaining a Republican stranglehold over the nation for years to come. Rule by fear since that is the only reliable method.
Sincerely,
Uncle Screwtape
