The right is the most useless bunch I've seen in my life. They haven't learned anything from history at all, so what do you expect? In fact, I am thinking of posting a book list that people should read to be better able to capitalize on the current situation.
Agreed. If I'm black pilled it's not because of the left, or the middle, it's because of the right. The vast majority of the right are useless, and simply don't know how to fight back effectively. Most of them are aware of the threat but just sit back looking at it from a far hoping to God that it will eventually just go away. Like you've said, they've learned nothing, never mind from just history, they haven't even learned anything from the last few years.
I won't pretend the right has even close to a spotless record, but it's a tactic that is only valid if you hold the oaths and responsibilities of your office in total contempt, given that you're nakedly lying to and defrauding the public you're supposed to be serving.
So I'd rather they didn't learn that. I'd rather they learn to proactively attack the opposition on the mountain of terrible things they actually do.
At some point you don't have a choice. You have to diametrically opposed ideas on how to run one federal government. Historically the last side standing wins. So far that is looking to be the left because they are willing to be ruthless. The right is still busy trying to hold on to the notion that somehow the other side can be reasoned with through rational processes. They can't Not until they suffer under the same tactics they inflict on others. I always say that it's now a mud wrestling contest. And until we roll up our sleeves, wade in, and then body slam them face first into the mud until they cry uncle we're not having any kind of rational conversation. Once they do cry uncle, then you can help them up, wipe some of the mud off and move on. Until we reach that point this is a war.
If they don't want to learn that, what they need to learn instead is how to punish those who do to keep the playing field fair. This idea that elected officials can be as corrupt as they like and face no consequences for their corruption is going to destroy our Republic before long, if it hasn't already caused irreparable harm to it.
“It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This [Northern conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always when about to enter a protest very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance: The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy, from having nothing to whip.”

People like to accuse the Right of being toothless. But really, would we want another party just as ruthless and unethical as the left?
