Because the Conservatives play by the rules and, generally, obey the law.

Liberals don’t.

They ARE able. They had 4 years under Trump.

The answer is...they don't WANT to do anything. They are part of the problem.

Because society no longer believes in consequences.
Also, too many conservatives actually want what liberals are offering.

Because for years we fell for people like Bush and McConnell and McCim insisting that they were with us when they were really just with the ruling class but wearing a slightly different shade on their jersey.

Because once they get into any position, the have two choices. Ether bend to the whims of the liberals, or be destroyed by the deep state. The time to fight was during the bush1, clinton, bush2 and obumber’s time. But no, they wanted to play nice with a bunch of cutthroat progressives.

Most Republicans are RINOS. True conservatives are few and far between. RINOS are more interested in padding their pockets than legislate in the best interest of the nation. They have begged their duties off on administrative law rather than take a stand. Until we start electing ethical people to congress we will continue this downward spiral.

Cultural Marxists of the Frankfurt School attacked the pillars of our society and infiltrated education K through college and professional schools and, thus, all professions.

With that control, they control everything else: news media; movies; TV; big tech; and infiltrated the major denominations.

Breitbart liked to say politics is downstream of culture. We are fighting the symptoms but the disease is Cultural Marxism. All of the ‘gender battles’, race riots, etc. etc. come from there.

Conservatives lives their lives, raise children, pay taxes, and keep their head down going to church and living life. Marxists 24/7 are working for their false religion and will destroy anyone they want to ‘cancel.’ They work harder and believe more strongly in their lives than we do in our truth.

conservatives have become afraid to speak their minds, for fear of the cancel culture, or their becoming locked out of their favorite software, or, heavens forbid, they have to actually bloody their nice clothing in self-defense of their lives from crazed leftists!

it is being too nice, and not giving bloody noses when conservatives had the chance, so they have penned themselves, even in their churches, and now, it is and will be, much harder to exit that pen.

1) They control the universities.

2) Corporations, foundations, parties, and government agencies rely on universities for their leaders, so eventually they control the corporations, parties, and agencies.

3) Think back to all the divorces in the '60s and '70s. We've become a more hedonistic country, and that happened in our parents' time (or our grandparents' or our younger days). Nobody wants to be a killjoy and nobody likes a killjoy.

Because we are going through a similar phase to the late 60’s. We are old and don’t want anyone to have fun. We are trying to “impose” our will on the Yutes.

And honestly…our marketing guys suck.

Conservatives have the numbers and financial power to cause disruption in liberal strongholds but don’t do it as it complicates their lives. What would happen to public schools if half of their students left and were home schooled? What if Conservatives dumped Netflix, Amazon, deleted Facebook, and stopped paying to go to movies? What if Conservatives boycotted brands and stores that support lefty causes?
The depressing reality is almost every business is more afraid of the left than the right? Why is that?
One more thing, why do Conservative parents pay to send their kids to lefty universities?

In the early 90's I went to a GOP-sponsored meeting of the North Fulton (County, GA) Young Republicans. Expecting discussion of promoting small govt, individual liberty, free markets, I, instead, heard a bunch of gossip about who was interning for whom, which govt/elected officials were seeking other offices, how to get hired, etc.

There was no idealism, no first principles, no passion, whatsoever. It was like a gathering of every Student Council President you've known since Middle School. It was a room of Tracy Flicks's.

I can't prove it, but I swear Riverwood grad, and unelected GA election compromiser, Gabe Sterling, was there.

I think part of it, is fear of the left, fear of what liberals/leftists/Marxists, will say about us.

Some examples:

1. If you opposed homosexual marriage, you are a bigot against homosexuals. We get put into defense, having to protest we are not hating anyone, but we get put on defense that we hate homoseuxals.

2. If you oppose abortion on demand, as espoused by Roe Vs. Wade, you are said to hate women. And that you want women impaled on coat hangars.

3. If you ever want to cut back spending on government social programs, you are said to want people to be kicked out of section 8 housing, kicked off the food stamp/EBT prorgram, and that you want people to go hungry.

4. If you oppose any aspect of this LGBT stuff going on, you are said to be a bigot.

5. If you oppose affirmative action, you are a racist.
6. If you oppose open borders/illegal aliens, you are a bigot and want people to suffer.

7. If you oppose all this “green new deal” business, you are said to want a dirty environment, you want children in the cities to breathe dirty air, you want them to eat lead based paint chips, etc. Plus you want us all to die of global warming if you oppose what they want to do about global warming.

8. If you favor any tax benefits/tax cuts for any reason, you want to take food out of the mouths of babies who benefit from public assistance programs.

I’m sure there are other issues we could discuss. But the point is, on so many issues, conservatives are put on defense by the narratives, and then we have to defend that we aren’t bigots, we aren’t attacking women/poor people/minorities, and that we do care about the environment.

Be abuse parents are wimps. A spoiled child of liberals who are themselves spoiled children, becomes a liberal screeching spoiled brat who won’t take No and who lives an emotions driven life. A spoiled child of conservatives- same result
