Very well written. The right needs an entire mindset shift. The left's activists have way lower time preference. They're willing to wait it out for years, decades, in red neighborhoods and towns and incrementally make change. The right takes one minor setback and declares "WE NEED TO BURN IT ALL DOWN LOLOLOLOL WE'RE ALL DOOMED", with actually the notable exception of the pro-2A advocates, who are well-organized, patient, and slowly but surely put up wins for our side.

There are successes here and there, FedSoc would be one (though some not pleased with them atm lol) but overall posture is against this stuff

I mean, I certainly prefer how FedSoc is working to create bastions within law schools, rather than how some on the right just wholesale refuse to even participate in the process because "IT'S ALL LIBERALS IN LAW SCHOOL LOLOL". There was a scene in Godfather Part 3 that is prescient for our times, when Michael Corleone says, "I don't need another tough guy. I need more lawyers."

Yeah one advantage for them is it’s (for some reason) prestigious to be an attorney so you don’t have to manufacture it
