How Should Conservatives Deal with the Left’s Disrespect and Lack of Empathy?
My experience is that arguing with or trying to change the mind of an avowed Liberal is a waste of time. However, confronting distortion, lies, and slander is required of someone who speaks the truth. So, how should a Conservative respond?
Consider this: according to a recent Gallup Poll poll, about 21% of the population is self identified as “Liberal”. Another 40% identify themselves as “Conservative”, and 35% as “Moderate”.
What is important to realize is that in public discourse, in the media, or personally, you must confront the lies of the Liberal, and tell the truth. However, realize you are really speaking to the Moderates, who are listening on the sidelines. The so called “silent majority”.
It is the opinion, and vote, of the Moderate that really matters, and they are usually persuadable. Together, Conservatives and Moderates form a large majority that can govern to the satisfaction of most Americans.
Our goal, as Conservatives, or Moderates, is to confront the Liberal with arguments and facts that enlighten and persuade the undecided Moderate.
