This is really something conservatives need to figure out. The AK (Islamist) party in Turkey figured it out. They embedded themselves in the big, rapidly growing cities and became the friends and families of the people. The left did the same thing here. The Kemalists in Turkey went into the working class neighborhoods and tried to transform all the people, not bothering to work within the existing culture: telling women they were stupid for wearing headscarves and being stay-at-home moms. The Kemalists set up programs the people didn’t really want while AK party leaders were bringing groceries to families with no food.
While Republicans were aligning themselves with big developers who wanted to raze entire city blocks for new condos, Leftist activists were working directly with the people to save their homes. See Alinsky and Back of the Yards, Chicago.
Unbelievable.
