Yes, we’re talked about this before.

Our side (even the “good people”) rarely offerers any counter argument beyond a religious appeal (which is completely non-effective on anyone who is not religious).

“I believe it’s wrong” or “The bible says it’s wrong”. Isn’t gonna change anyone’s mind. Certainly not now.

Meanwhile the left utilized an effective propaganda operation designed to emotionally appeal to people who may not care so much about this stuff.

You gotta fight fire with fire.

That's it exactly. We keep talking about the Bible, and the left talks about Freedom. In an increasingly secularized society, there's no contest there. We would know that if we stepped outside our echo chamber and engaged the outside world.
