    One thing to note about the radical right is they don't have schmucks talking about "Green Lanternism" or the need to elect moderate Republicans & vote Red no matter what. Rather, they have an agenda remorselessly pursued. And it's paid off.https://twitter.com/MatthewSitman/status/1529592919765704706 …

    I've been reading about the anti-abortion movement for KYE, especially as it relates to the broader conservative movement and their place in Republican politics, and what's so striking is how undeterred they were by the headwinds they were facing

        It's an extraordinarily successful model of how to organize a social movement to effect political change. Lots of lessons for better causes.https://twitter.com/MatthewSitman/status/1529592919765704706 …

        They are also unafraid to promote that agenda always and everywhere despite it being TOTALLY BATSHIT INSANE

        it took them 50 years of voting solidly Republican to overturn Roe. They didn’t start sitting out elections because Roe wasn’t overturned in one election cycle. They voted red no matter who in 2016 to do just that!

        Exactly. They always voted Red and when they got a squish they got even madder and voted even harder. At no point did they "sit one out" because their guy failed a purity test.

        The American political system is like a chess game where only one side starts with rooks. Complaining that we don't play the same edgy aggressive game they do ignores certain constraints we can't escape.

        Doesn’t it help that the “not-radical” ones (the rich ones) will give them anything they want long as they get their tax cuts?

        True, but with the caveat that they kept doing this for 50 years nonstop.
