There are three levels to what we "know". Opinions, beliefs and values. Opinions are the least invested part of what we know. These can be changed relatively easily. Beliefs are stronger. These are things that we would have to see very good evidence to change. Even then, we would likely doubt that evidence. Values are something that will likely never change. These are beliefs that we hold so fundamentally, they typically build the basis for all our beliefs and opinions. Values affect how we see the world and the other people in it. Values often are a basis for judging right from wrong. Politics involves all three levels. Asking someone to consider that their beliefs and even values might be wrong is asking for an argument.
This is why education is so important to changing the course of this country. When liberal thinking is indoctrinated to our kids (as it has been for decades now) throughout the entire course of school, those ideas become beliefs and sometimes even form values. They are raised to hold the socialist concepts as the proper value system because that is the "only" way to be fair, or caring or just. That is why an argument with a liberal often pits your facts against their emotional response that you are heartless or uncaring. Those have become values, or nearly so, to them through repetition from K-12. If they went to college or watch the news, that was further translated into how the government is the "only" source that can achieve that sharing fairly.
Here are just a few examples of the left bias in academia:

We also need to see a return of unbiased media and entertainment to accompany this change, as can be seen from the overall chart of professions.
Unfortunately, the alternative is to see a visceral reality that proves the liberal beliefs have failed. When the people of a nation fall deep enough into dependency and the government can no longer provide, reality can change beliefs and even values. When the conditions to survive become so tough, people will eventually think, "Screw it, I can do better on my own". That is the break-through where dependency is no longer desirable. As long as a socialist is generally not missing meals and is comfortable, you are unlikely to change their minds about things that are values to them. Unfortunately, who wants to live in a world where that many people are reduced to subsistence living? It might be the right environment for change, but it wouldn't be pleasant. I personally don't see another way than these two. They either learn better rational skills so they don't fall into the trap or they have to feel the pain.
How would such a takeover happen? Unfortunately, I don't have the solution to that. If it was easy, it would have already been done. What is clear is that INDIVIDUALS need to be more involved in the education of their children so that their values and unbiased lessons will be carried on to future generations. You cannot trust the current media or academia with this critical part of your responsibilities. Beyond that, it will need to be incremental, just as it was lost, and every step is important. Get involved in your local education boards and meetings. This will be a better gift than anything your overtime might buy your kids.
