We’re not doomed but that really isn’t the point. The point is about establishing that your purism starts from the belief that we’re doomed — i.e. that conservatism can’t prevail or make progress in the country’s political system, that failure and collapse are inevitable, that we’re fools to even try to advance our cause, that our real job at this point is only to preserve a pure remnant as the conservative minority dwindles. I just want people to realize that the unspoken but essential premise of the purists is that we can’t win.
Your “purist” ranting avoids any actual proof about my statements doesn’t it? That horse died in the barn. No one with a brain blames people for standing for conservative principles.
Try again. Where was I factually incorrect?
