How? Politically these ideas have negligible support. Medially... well, again, we have to ask the question *who* keeps it alive, cui bono? And in that is your answer. And yet now the only sect seriously threatening strife on that ground is the totally-not-religion of intersectional left. My...

But there is nothing to push back against except for ghosts of past centuries... But if both left and right agree on the merit of shadowboxing these ghosts, such behavior from real, living people may actually convince someone that there is something material to this ghost. As i said, the only...

But few posts ago you were saying how even average conservative movement has issues in winning elections so bad it basically needs to become the center-left... How are these fringe people ever going to get even half a wider audience? Who the hell even wants to listen to them that doesn't...

And that 5%, 10% or so of mostly old Bible thumpers are going to rule the right how exactly? By that logic, parts of the left want us in a gulag, so sorry, but i consider that a bigger problem. Are we supposed to obsess about those parts of the right and consider them "just as bad as current...

Of course not, they don't want to put them there even if they could. The left prefers putting rainbow and BLM flags in the public schools.

I hope i don't need to explain to you that a century ago there were far more people willing to listen to what you call "evangelical authoritarians"... Unless they are coming back from the grave, i don't think they will be pushing anything again successfully anytime soon. But there are far less...

Seriously? If you need to bring up stuff mostly from a century ago or more to show how bad the 'religious right" is, then perhaps your concerns are a bit more... obsolete compared to the threat of very current progressive insanity.

My favorite way to deal with such accusations is to act offended over being confused for a socialist. Especially if it's a socialist doing the accusing.

It seems to me that you are simply insisting on talking about things you have no idea about. You seem to be operating under an impression that Rowling is some kind of center-liberal figure, while in reality she is a Labour supporting feminist. If you think being a vocal supporter of the Labour...

To some degree, yes. But there are limits to this, as the right cannot afford to go for 1% independents at the price of 5% core. And since when is GOP catering to the fringe? Again, you are asking for large organizations to do some kind of introspective navel gazing that no one needs nor cares...

Because you look only at the narrative of the week. While Rowling disagrees with some shit that's too woke even for her, she's perfectly fine with lots of older woke shit under the name of feminism particularly. Some even considering her radical feminist under the "smash the patriarchy" banner...

This is culture war, it's all about what music the population likes. If you play different music, what are you anymore? You're not even the right anymore, just something else. And you can complain about the right struggling with demographic appeal, but that "something else" you imply here is an...

Then work on making it possible. If you don't, there is no winning, only slower or quicker surrender. Most of the middle is not as politically involved as the staunch factions, they just don't care as much about politics either way. The left got where it is by changing cultural and demographic...

You don't win the culture war by welcoming changes of political landscape to your disadvantage (that's just surrender and the end result is ending up as GOPe or Tories, with constanly disappointed voter base who thought you are right wing but you're not) either, winning the culture war is about...
