re: #395 WindUpBird

Not the Right. The small, motivate core base that volunteers and wins elections. The average voter is one thing, the problem is you need motivated True Believers at the core to win the contest. And on the GOp, the core true believers that phonebank and fundraise are becoming infected with radicalism.

I keep saying over and over again, the Right needs to get rid of these people. They’re not a large part of the party, but they’re a very dangerous small core of the party that can have a disproportionate amount of influence if they are allowed to persist. Like cancer. It doesn’t take much to kill you. it just needs to be in the right place.

I want to talk about STRATEGY. ELECTIONS. MACHINERY. INFLUENCE.

Not tribalism.

I disagree. I believe they are the effective base of the party now, and because we’ve gotten used to them so long (having been let in for decades) it only seems like the people emerging to their leadership only represent that vocal ‘small core.’
