A Plea to Those on the Right - You Will Never Win Using Liberal Tactics.

I am pleading with  conservatives - you will never succeed using liberal-left tactics.

Such tactics include rhetoric, rallies, and activism in the courts, in the educational system, and in the media.

You need to build something else, something better, and not copy tactics that have been used against you for the last some 70 years.

The Left raises its children from toddler-hood to absorb and disseminate rhetoric. I am a former liberal. We liberals were taught how to set semantic traps and trip people up into looking like racists, sexists, homophobes, members of the patriarchy, whatever. With their rhetoric, liberals hold rallies, wield favor in the media, and enact laws.

The liberal-left seeks to offend because it seeks conflict. If you point out their double standard, their attitude is not, hey I need to be fair, but, great! Here is a conflict! This just proves that we need social change!

Conservatives and religious people are naive concerning rhetoric. They will always be tripped up and trapped. For example, a liberal may ask a high school student, "how many Chinese kids are in your class?" The conservative answers, "I guess about three." The liberal retorts, "Aha! You are a racist for noticing that!"

Liberals believe that everything is relative and therefore invented by people. There is no such thing as seeking the Truth because there is no truth, and since there is no truth, there are no lies, history is constantly being re-invented, there is no problem with making up new "facts" because there are no facts. 

Conservatives cannot stand up to liberal activism or rhetoric because they were not trained in rhetoric from birth. Therefore, they seek a strong leader. In came Trump.

The Left wields rhetoric, the Right looks for a strong leader, but both approaches can beget disastrous results.

Trump spoke for the people who feel they have no voice - for whites who work factory jobs, for blacks who see that liberal welfare policies are what contributed to the demise of the black family and community. Those on the right or new to the right who are angry are not much different from any dispossessed group, but they have had no one to speak for them, until Trump. 

 
He promised to keep factory jobs in the USA, and he did, promised to halt indoctrination in public schools via school vouchers, which he started, and lowered the black unemployment rate. He was winning our hearts.

The events of January 6 2021 in which President Trump called a rally to protest what may have been a fraudulent presidential win by the Democratic party, soon turned into storming the Capital, resulting in mayhem and the deaths of six people. This is an example of how dangerous it is to use rallies and protests.

Though liberals "understood" seven months of BLM and ANTIFA riots, they strongly condemn this one. Though liberals declare that a wall between the USA and Mexico is immoral, they are already building a security fence around the inaugural podium.

 You cannot call out liberal inconsistencies because reality is so malleable for the liberal, history began five minutes ago, and - the non-liberal is a non-entity.

 But you can build something better. I am a witness to Christians and to ultra orthodox (haredi) Jews of their pacifist living, of not engaging with the wider media and culture, of not holding rallies in the first place (as they can easily be infiltrated and turn violent), of quietly building strong families and kindergartens and schools and communities until liberals see the marked difference in the happy life of a person of faith versus the cynical life of the activist or would be activist. 

Take a lesson from history. The emperor Constantine chose Christianity as the state religion because the Christians had slowly built something better for 300 years - an infrastructure of health, education and welfare.

I am a former liberal. I saw the light in the eyes of the true Christians when I attended college in the 1980's. I knew they had something better, and I gradually weaned myself off the cynical brainwashing that I had been indoctrinated with. I am now an orthodox Jew, but it was that group of Christians who were markedly different that showed me there was another way to live - the way of faith, of being attached to the Revelation of the Word of God.  

So, build something new - it is slower work than rallies and rhetoric, but it will last, and others will see the light in your eyes.

It can work, especially when you know -  You Will Never Win Using Liberal Tactics
