Bush’s second term over a decade ago, this movement had very little political power behind it.Įven with the heavy artillery provided by Hollywood elites, and leftist strongholds like Massachusetts and California, most Americans were either apathetic or opposed to gay marriage and the gay lobby itself was never able to portray themselves as a mainstream part of American society. The issue only became “popular” after a few court cases and favorable media attention.Ī great example of the Overton Window in action can be seen in the Gay, Lesbian, Transsexual, Bi-Sexual, or Pan-Unicorn rights movement. 🔹It is especially potent because this “window” is never fixed in one place, meaning that it can be moved in any direction based on both external factors and the user’s beliefs. 🔹This is an incredibly effective tool that can be used to control an entire population because it only requires a powerful individual or small group of individuals to first decide what is acceptable or extreme, and then use the government, religious institutions, and the media to push ideas that are deemed “acceptable.”
🔹If a belief or movement is placed on the outside of the window, it is deemed “extreme,” “outlandish,” or “foolish” by the powers that be. 🔹If something is within “the window,” it is seen as a “normal” or “respectable” position or belief that a citizen is allowed to possess. 🔹First created by Joseph Overton, a former senior Vice President of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, the Overton window is a mechanism used by political elite to determine the viability of a movement or idea. This tool is the Overton Window, and once it is fully understood, it can be a powerful tool to use against those who mislead. It is critical to understand and share about the most important tool that the leftists and globalists use to manipulate public perceptions and opinions. Is the tide beginning to turn against the left? Even if so, there is still much more work to be done to save our freedoms.
