Trolling can be fun, of course, but in a democracy we ultimately have to persuade people. That means making arguments, not clever memes. Conservatism is an appealing political philosophy, but so few people know this because they aren't exposed to it.

"Putinism isn’t animated by any great new idea like Marxism—all it offers is a crumbling kleptocracy & a foreign policy that has been deranged by one man’s chauvinism & hubris. The Russian 'model' is rotting domestically and collapsing on the battlefield."

"Mainstream outlets still invoke the mythical idea of a unified 'LGBTQ+ community' in support of radical trans-rights. This allows activists & journalist to cast all forms of dissent—including dissent from fellow progressives—as right-wing 'hate speech'."
