IMO, the failings (some might say disintegration) of the national conservative movement has eveerything to do with “leadership” losing its way - not the grassroots failing to act.

We conservatives do not have competent leadership.

We conservatives do not have competent leadership.

The crux of the problem, as conservatives, we don't NEED to be led. We don't recieve our marching orders from the establishment, nor do we WANT to be led by the establishment.

That's the problem with conservative governmental leadership, "conservative" and "governmental leadership" are antithetical. One has to give way to the other, unfortunately it's usually the "conservative" part that concedes.
