I guess the only way to change this is to wait until all the regressive die off. They're mostly old people anyway.
Or, folks could reach out to righties and educate them without belittling them.
Here's an example of a wingnut who had health problems and was against Obamacare....who, eventually saw the light (with Progressive's help).....

I just don't understand how a majority, one that is educated & savvy, can be so inept at fighting a minority that emphasizes stupidity. Where's our savvy psychological edge? Where's our "mad propaganda skillz"? Where's our ability to copy what they're doing, thinking like our opponents, sneakiness, savvyness, psychology?
If progressives are a majority...and we're winning the culture wars....and we're the brainiacs & intellectuals....why can't we use our superior brains to win the political war?
Where's our experts, strategists, schemes, plans, studies?
Where are the LEGIONS of Progressive citizens running for LOCAL office....for Mayor, Schoolboard, Councilperson, etc?
The problem is that the Left & Center plays too nice! We need to bend the rules while still being true to our ideals!
I think the problem is that progressives are demoralized. The progressive world, reporting, commentary, web boards, etc. is rife with pessimism & being bummed. Perhaps if we embraced a cautious, sane optimism & idealism and can-do attitude, we could make waves.
I genuinely feel that the Religious Reich's practice of "Spiritual Warfare Prayer" WORKS! Even if you don't believe that there's mystical power in it, like I do, you could at least believe that it works as a psychological exercise to psych oneself up & raise morale, thus making one succeed at planning and executing things.
