Unfortunately you are 100% correct. And I don’t see the right doing anything about it since they don’t even have a clue as to where the playing field even is. Plus they’re a bit lazy. I want to know how Scott Presler learned to be an effective activist. The Republicans have one. The Democrats have hundreds if not thousands, and they teach it.
I think there is a view on the Right that activism itself, and organized public movements, are the domain of the Left, which is why the Right doesn't produce them. To avoid the Left's playing field, I think we have to look at the other ways that policy gets made, apart from large scale popular uprising and infiltration of institutions. I think we have to appeal to sound-minded patrons like Elon Musk and their 'running group' of like-minded politically active people who have large means and connections within government to shape policy and remove compromised actors from institutions through uncovering scandal and using concrete performance or competency metrics the leftist infiltrators don't satisfy.
