Every war is two wars, a war of ideas and a war for terrain.
The war of ideas is won by argument & demonstrations of good will.
The war for terrain is won by brute force.
Democracy is not supposed to be a war. It’s supposed to be all ideas all the time.

Universities, the news media, entertainment outlets, social media — all have fallen to the pressure, blacklisting, and occasional violence of the Left. Rioters and hecklers keep conservatives off campus.
The news and entertainment media blacklist conservatives, and small numbers of “boycotters” puff themselves up like adders and scare off conservative sponsors.
People are fired — lose the means to support themselves and their families — for such crimes as believing that there are two genders or supporting Donald Trump.
These are not honorable sallies in a war of ideas. These are acts of force meant to seize terrain.
This is what Donald Trump understands that too many conservative intellectuals miss.
