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 …

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.

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. - Show replies
