      This would be a really good moment for conservatives to have a national leader who can speak with credibility & empathy about our national heritage - the proud parts & the ugly legacies - defend the best of America & call us away from a time of malice to all, charity to none.

      The result of having...well, the opposite of that is that we will inevitably lose ground in the culture that we would not have lost with a different leader.

      The point is not for the Left to listen. The point is that most of the country isn't the Left & needs to hear a defense of why they should stand up to the mob. Trump isn't the problem here, but he makes the solution harder.https://twitter.com/BostonSportsHb/status/1274362217182507008 …

      The Left in America is poison. It really doesn’t matter who speaks for American values. They won’t listen. The could ignore Ted Cruz or Nikki Haley just as easily as they can ignore Trump.

      Too much of the populist Right seems to think you can fight something with nothing; that it's enough to just say "no." But you can't. To compete with the Left, you need a narrative of your own, grounded in truth, that withstands scrutiny & attracts the uncommitted.

          When the most lauded journalists in America are cheering on the toppling of Ulysses S. Grant and comparing him to Hitler and Osama bin Laden … It's like Milan Kundera's madman who believes he is a fish. Rational debate is not just pointless but demeaning. https://www.amazon.com/Laughable-Loves-Milan-Kundera/dp/0060997036 … pic.twitter.com/Nc8Y251dDh

          Why not start now? Whatever happened to giving good speaches to audiences willing to listen. I know that covid makes it hard, but press statements and tweets are not enough.

          Otherwise, you just repeat the left's mistakes. All this time thinking "they fight and make a ruckus, why shouldn't we?" Thinking it helped them politically, instead of holding them back in the long run.

          The problem you have is that there is no American conservative who can make the necessary normative argument. Because they would have to make a version of this argument—which anticipates every objection—and the vast majority of conservatives reject it:https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/historian-puts-the-push-to-remove-confederate-statues-in-context/ …

          Day after day I hear radio pundits talk about Democrats and our government in the most destructive terms. Forfeiting principles to do Trump's bidding and allowing right media to rewrite the conservative agenda was a terrible mistake. There are consequences.

          But even when conservative black leaders speak, they are called “token.” Who is supposed to speak? And how much good does speaking do when the MSM doesn’t cover it, or supports the rioters? Trump can’t speak, because “orange man bad.” We are a fractured nation.
