Those of you who think the we are powerful enough to “take our country back”, take a look at this list and tell me what peaceful method you can use that the Left is not also using more powerfully?
Secession is the only solution I can think of. It is the only way to make conservative voters such an overwhelming majority of a country that they can keep power. Please add to the list in the comments below. Also feel free to make a graphic for this.
Conservatives are not giving up on winning the culture war because our ideas are unpersuasive. We are giving up because the Left has more influence over how voters think because they control the institutions.
Categories Controlled by the Left:
K-12 schools
Universities
Academia

Special Case: The Donor Class
It is self-defeating to say that there’s no difference between the two parties. But it’s also self-defeating to think that conservatives can win against both the donor class of their own party and the Left without secession. The only way to get conservative policy when it conflicts with the wishes of the big-money donors is to secede, so that conservative voters are a bigger fraction of the electorate. Even many red-state Congressmen have rejected bills to make E-Verify mandatory, because the legislators care more about the business donors than the will of the voters. https://www.conservativereview.com/news/no-adding-a-few-more-republicans-to-the-senate-will-not-change-the-equation/
After secession, once conservatives have firm control over the power of the government at the highest levels, the government can influence the non-government institutions to stop promoting Leftism so strongly. And also put limits on behavior that is allowed in the country.
There is nothing that the Left has created that cant be re-created in the Conservative image, in our own lands and territories… Additionally, there are many currently Conservative rural areas across this country that can be used as staging areas to incubate new, sovereign, conservative societies. Current county and state boundaries are really just “suggested”…
