That is because true Conservative patriots are a numerical minority just about everywhere.
That is a significant problem in a democracy, which we can only solve by compromising with Centrists and the Center Left.

Regarding your first point I believe the 2016 election result indicated otherwise. And as to your second point, I fail to see how compromising with the current Democrat Party would solve much of anything relative to the problems now endangering the country as a result of that Party’s anti-American ideology.
I strongly disagree.
Hillary Clinton, one of the most unpopular Democrats in the country, beat Trump by 3 million votes.
In addition, Trump's plurality in WI, MI, and PA was less than the Green Party vote in each one of those states. In 2020, the Green Party vote went down almost 80% in each one of those states, because the Dems decided not to throw away their votes.
In 2016, the Libertarian vote in those states split 50-50 Dem and GOP because the Libs supported Open Borders, and because the Lib V.P. candidate urged non-Lib voters to support Hillary Clinton. In 2020, the Lib vote went down 75% in each of those three states, because the Democrats decided not to throw away their votes.
Re: "I fail to see how compromising with the current Democrat Party would solve much of anything relative to the problems now endangering the country as a result of that Party's anti-American ideology."
Conservatives cannot win a majority in the House, Senate, or the Presidency without a Centrist coalition.
With the Centrists, we have a small amount of power and can slow down or postpone the political and economic destruction of the USA.
Without the Centrists, we have no federal political power at all.
The Conservative "silent majority" disappeared after the Reagan Amnesty in 1986.
In the last eight Presidential elections, the GOP nominee has won the popular vote just one time - 50.7% in 2004.
Without the Centrists, we have no federal political power at all.

I strongly disagree with everything you’re saying. By the way, what are Centrists?
