Especially in an age of social media where it’s easier for a small number of voices to be heard broadly, it’s easier to gamble on the chance of defeating your political opponents than to acquiesce to selling out parts of your coalition.

And it’s very difficult to ignore that they want us to expose members of our coalition to poverty, starvation, cruel and unusual punishment in prisons, forced labor for pennies, and even dearth in exchange for... what? To make them feel like America belongs to them still?

Yes but the point is while the political power of conservatives is a fact, the political and social power of the people conservatives want to hurt is ALSO a fact. So any compromise has to be acceptable to both, not just a capitulation to conservatives for the sake of order.

I think you could sell symbolic gestures. I don’t know what substantive policy aim of conservatives doesn’t pragmatically involve people dying, families torn apart, etc., which is generally not acceptable to liberals.
