The left has power because a majority of Americans are in tacit agreement with their ethics or their goals. Change the hearts and minds of the majority, and the left will lose power.

No. . . You're wrong. Most of them are NOT in tacit agreement with their ethics and especially not with their goals. They just accept tiny portions of them when they hear about them in small pieces. . . when they waken from their lethargy. If they wake up and pay attention, they are almost universally opposed. We need to get them to pay attention.

“such and such policy helps people - you want to help people, don’t you?”

That’s about the extent of how the left maintains support.
