Your post is an interesting one and I’d like to address a few points in.
First your analogy regarding building a foundation. Yes, the gop is building a foundation. They do this in every election they win. Unfortunately, at this juncture they aren’t looking to build on the foundation, they’re looking to dynamite it. The gop, like its sister organization the rats, has zero interest in delivering results. They’re interested in achieving power for its own sake.
I agree that there are some at FR who are spreading a message of gloom. That’s strange to me, because we’re at a great time in our history, and a wonderful time to be a conservative! Why you might ask? Because there is some hope of conservatives shaking the electoral system like a bad cold. Yes, not participating in sham elections is an important step. But it’s what comes afterward that is so downright awesome! Because you see I know a little something about conservatives: we are the type of people who fix problems. It’s just our nature. Once enough of us finally come to reject this electoral system for the rigged game that it is, we can get on with the important business of being and living conservatively.
I mean how can you not be optimistic?
As for a plan, I have plenty of them. Hundreds of them. But what they boil down is being conservative and living that way. That is far more powerful and effective than the political promises of kleptocrats who never act, who never deliver. Rejecting the rigged electoral game and Governing yourself is also far more gratifying.
I don't basically disagree with you, but you aren't showing that you have a plan. Contempt for misguided voters isn't a plan. (You need those people.) Ammo is key, but is not a plan. A plan is a message that will lead to the smaller units of governmentâ€â€right down to the family and the individualâ€â€taking back the power that the central government has stolen. In history, power shifts back and forth between central power and local power continually. For our civilization, it's time to decentralize.
A weapon available under the U.S. system is that a default to local autonomy is written into our Constitution and our laws. An outgrowth of this idea is "nullification." We've started to see, in immigration, nullification starting to happen. My opinion is that our plan(s) must be to spread that idea in a systematic way to all the areas where the Supremes and the various illegal agencies like the EPA have falsely claimed authority. State and local governments will do this if we can push them and rearrange their incentivesâ€â€at the same time as we use movements like Trump's to wound or destroy the Federal weeds that have grown up.
We need plans and strategies to achieve this, using constituencies we already have, plus new ones, on both a large and small scale. Can't do without the ammo, but letter-writing and ads are indeed part of it, or none of it will work. What's important is what the letters say, and to whom they're sent.

But who cares? Anyone who gets taken in by your posts is too dumb to vote.
