(I dont really get what you said that caused so many downvotes)

That attitude is also not a solution. Vengeance and resentment won't do a fucking thing, and will help rally the ignorant and uninformed against the right.

I think we are making the same point and I just phrased it poorly. What I was getting at is that, what Trump said was true: He had to teach the Right how to win. And while a lot of the actual political class are either refusing to go along (your Liz Cheneys and Romneys), a lot of them are being dragged kicking and screaming along by the now "Mad as hell, Wont take it anymore" base. And those who refuse to get with the program are slowly but surely being purged for those who will fight. Because I guarantee you that it is no coincidence that the 2 biggest funded people in the Republican party (and IIRC, the House in general) are Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Its also why we have seen more and more states start to actually pick up the torch and fight back with laws that give both the Left and the Feds the finger, and there is really nothing they can do about it. The coalition that the Left has relied on has also started to show as the different identity groups have started started fighting over power, because to put it simply, there can be only one "Most Oppressed Victim Group" and the power that comes with it. I would go so far as to argue that the reason that they are losing their previous hold over the Hispanic population is for exactly this reason.

And all of that has thrown their momentum off. Additionally, I was listening to Michael Malice interview with Dave Rubin, and I think he brought up an interesting point that in the Rights favor for the near future. For perhaps the first time in political history, and certainly the first time in recent history, it is the Republicans who are the ones being fun, since the Left is now in the throws of a highly puritanical secular religion (Wokeness) and its driving away many people who do creative endeavors and sending them to places like Texas and Florida. And this will potentially cause a Bandwagon effect wherein people WANT to join because everyone else is. Meanwhile, the Lefts cultural institutions are running on nothing but momentum that is petering out as more time passes and they become more and more openly hostile to the average person.

That said, I do wonder about the viability of what I have seen people called the "Dexter Doctrine", the name people are giving to the phrase of "Cancel the Cancellers." I feel like hitting back at them is warranted, or at least not saving them when the Cancel Mob comes for them. But at the same time, that may just be Hyde talking, because Jekyll says that may be a poor idea that has significant chance to backfire and turn off normies.
