Excellent & needed debate

The Left dominates the institutions that promulgate the common good (as they see it)

The question is
How do we wrestle them back?

@kimsmithholmes says
More conservative conservatism

@RyanTAnd says
Get based

I fall in the based camp
w/ caveats

Conservative Inc has failed
As Ryan notes
They have written extensively on the dangers of liberalism then progressivism then wokeness present
But have failed to fight them

This is called admiring the problem
And while they illuminated the dangers successfully
They lost

The populist movement that makes up the Based Right
Advocates a much more muscular response to the destruction of our Republic
And it is much needed
The Left declared war on us and on the founding principles

We cannot refuse to engage
But we must do so well

We lost academia/education, popular culture, the media, & the permanent bureaucracy of government

To retake them, or more likely create our own analogues
It is tempting to use whatever organs of power are available

The most effective & potentially available is political power

And we should
But not to enforce our beliefs
But to stop the Left from its abuse of power in enforcing their own

That still allows a robust use of the organs of state power which are currently arrayed against us
But without creating any kind of statist entity

Of course our use of political power should advance the beliefs of our liberty and values based ideology

We must recreate the space where our institutions and culture flourished before the Left managed to turn all our public institutions into versions of the Thought Police

But we must avoid writing these values into governing institutions and policies

In the spirit of the Constitution we must reclaim the rights that the Left has infringed and put in place political firewalls to stop them from doing so again.

Stronger federalism is a good start

We must empower our tribe & its values by congregating and consolidating

Look at internal migration
Out of blue crapholes & into red free states

Let's continue to use those as bases to say
No more statism in our states
We don't use power to push our beliefs
But to protect them

A Based Right should push our values by example & invitation
Including them in a political/governing system is tempting
But inevitably leads to aggregation of power someplace that is not We the People.

Let's defeat their ideas & build our own shining cities
People will join
