It's Kafkas All The Way Down

It's not clear whether or not the states are the laboratories of democracy anymore...but colleges and universities are the laboratories of the left. If you want to know what lies another step or two down the left's current trajectory...well...hereya go. I mean, you shouldn't need this evidence; this is a case in which its pretty easy to see where they aim to take us. Just listen to what they say. They're usually not shy about it unless they're in motte mode.
   Is there anything analogous that's the laboratory of the right? Maybe: the past? (Does that even make any sense?)
