      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 …

          Pro-life movement had churches in which to organize. Not a good parallel for gun controllers. It's gun owners who have shared social activities that facilitate activism.

          This is very important, but gun owners are increasingly "bowling alone" like everybody else--so it's also about sharing identities facilitated by media, firms, party.

          As opposed to today’s endless articles and elite twitter opinions that “there’s nothing to be done about guns and mass murder.” Nihilism disguised as realism.

          No worthwhile cause would ever use the tactics of the anti-choice movement. Weaponizing the shitty parts of our government to get an outcome only a few radicals want is not a strategy to be emulated.

          It’s unwise to simply assume that the same methods would work for left causes as they do for right. To put it in marketing terms, it’s a different product and a different target market.

          I think it is critical for the left to understand how the right-wing machine works. (Generally speaking) In "Whose Freedom" by @GeorgeLakoff talks about the strict father model vs nurturing. Think of the code words the right uses. And "The Authoritarians" by Bob Altemeyer.
