The secret is, as has been stated above and in other threads, leadership which convinces the ignorant "undecided" masses.
Your entire post is arguing against a premise that isn't held, wasn't asserted, and wasn't needed by my arguments.
Your talk of "punishing heresy" speaks for itself. It's a shame you are not operating under this illusion, for that would be correctable. As it is, you seem delighted to cut off your nose to spite your face.
