The vast majority of the Right is suffering from a particular delusion. They see themselves and the left on a stage with some massive nebulous swath of "undecided" as the audience. They passionately believe to their very core that this audience is watching both the right and the left, and that when the left does something heinous and evil, if the right responds with forgiveness, calling for unity, a willingness to punish even their own side out of strict adherence to moral standards and principles and all the rest, that this will sway the audience of undecided to them. They believe they are still in the stage where huge numbers of people haven't picked a side but are watching closely to see who the good guys are, and if the right can manage to be self-sacrificial and self-depreciating enough, they will appear to be the good guys and win over that huge population.

This is a delusion. If such a stage was ever true, it was several decades ago. The truth of the matter is that a huge percentage of those people have already decided to side with the left, because the left told them to. The true nature of power is very few people have actual principles and ideas themselves. They do what they are told. They will believe whatever the prevailing opinion that they see everyone else believing is, meanwhile that everyone else is doing the same thing. The left understands this. The left understands that if they can simply seize power at the top, seize power from institutions such as media and education, government agencies, social media and all the rest, all they need to do is tell that huge chunk of "undecided" what to believe and they will do it gladly and instantly. The right believes that those people need to be persuaded by appearing to be the good guy, the left knows that those people only need to be ordered by whoever has the most power.

If the right did the same thing, seized control of institutions and methods of disseminating information such as media and social media, education, etc, then all they would need to do is tell that big swath of undecided that the right have always been the good guys, and they will eat it up. That huge chunk of normies will simply eat up whatever they are told. The only real question at hand for us is do we let the left tell them what to eat, or do we tell them what to eat? No one is going to wake them up, no one is going to persuade them by standing in front of a blackboard in a tweed suit with leather elbow pads showing figures and data in some Lincoln Douglas debate. The right really wishes this were the case, because they know they would absolutely win at such a battle, but that battle will never take place. The right desperately believes in this fantasy where they will step up with all of the facts and data and clever ironclad arguments and clean honor and integrity and simply embarrass the hell out of the left in front of everyone, and that 150 million Americans will gaze in awe at our impeccable data and shining honor and flock to our side. This is a fantasy and it will always remain a fantasy. It will never happen.

One side wins, the other side loses, and the winners get to tell the other 90% of the dim-witted normies that they were the good guys and the losers were the bad guys, and that is what history will remember. How you win doesn't matter. Only that you win. Because once you've won, you get to write your own story about how.
