That's too easy an answer.
The problem is not "the traitors" per se, but rather those of us who are not "traitors," but who don't understand and therefore cannot properly defend ourselves and our institutions against decay.
It's very hard to be vigilant -- it's not only hard work, but it also requires one to say and do things that seem "mean" to others. In fact, I think most of our problems stem precisely from a very poor understanding of what "mean" really is; and what "fairness" is really all about. We're driven by the emotions of the moment, rather than a willingness to understand and accept the long-term the consequences of our actions.
Likewise, it's very hard to serve the community -- it often requires great sacrifice, and a lot of hard work. And thus we allow perversity to be normalized; and we surrender our institutions to those who are driven by something other than a desire to serve the greater good.
That is all predicated on the ignorance the Left sows within our culture. Face to face, the Right's arguments always triumph, because they are based on reason rather than emotion. However, the power of emotions -- fear, self-righteousness, vanity -- exceeds the calm of reason. So what the Left lacks in clarity, it makes up in volume.
It's very easy to appeal to emotion; it's much harder to appeal to reason. That's why the Left finds its flimsy tenets so readily accepted, even though they seldom survive the first collision with reality.
Reality, then, is our friend. But the presentation of that reality is colored by the distortions of the Left.
