Part of the problem is covering things with a conservative bias. It's hard to imagine what that looks like that isn't just:
Plainly describing reality as it clearly is.
Stonewalling leftists by whatever tactics get the job done.
It's hard to be subversive on the right, and even harder to be subversive as a conservative. Conservatism exists in the same blended political slop that is 21st century liberalism. I'm not sure it stands for anything other than telling progs to slow down, and even conservatives themselves know that isn't good enough anymore, they just don't know what to do about it. I'm pretty sure it's not just being more loudly conservative though.
I have the sense that the Cathedral is trying very hard to prevent the next political realignment, because progs moved so fast that you can now reasonably describe yourself as a "reactionary moderate," and nobody knows what will come of that. We don't need conservatism as it exists today as part of the terminally-ill liberal political mass, but that realignment might let better ideas float to the surface.
