Things like Conservapedia are part of the reason why we’re losing to the left.

The left quietly takes over mainstream or non-idealogical resources (be it news organizations, Hollywood, the education system or websites). The general public doesn’t realize they’ve been co-opted.

Conservatives start openly conservative competitors to the co-opted resources.

The average, low information, member of the public is then left with the impression that the left wing resource is still “middle of the road,” while the conservative resource is biased. As a result the conservative resources are immediately discounted.

We need to play the long game and undo what the left did and reconvince the public that conservative is mainstream.

I fear we don’t have that kind of time to right it without a civil re-rest (I won’t call it unrest to reclaim your country from tyrants).

How about a “Balapedia” a la Fox.
