Fight fire with fire.
The right believes we can win in the market place of ideas.
That market no longer exists.
We win by selecting the right people: judges, political operatives, candidates, etc.
By right candidates I mean populists and outsiders and effective governors like Abbott and DeSantis.
Real judges like Alito , Thomas , Scalia, Gorsuch, federalist society members.
Congratulations on overturning Roe and affirmative action
For the most part, I'd say that's just not going to get us very far. "The right people" seem to be, at best, unreliably willing to stand up to the worst excesses of the state.
Recall that the great hero of the Covid tyranny, Ron DeSantis, still put 20 million people on something like house arrest for several weeks without even a whiff of due process. I do applaud him for reaching the right conclusion quicker than his peers and holding his ground in the face of the biggest propaganda campaign I've ever seen, but a principled defender of human rights he is not.

We can do a lot worse than Governor Ron
He is also a smart lawyer

We don’t have human rights in USA.
We have property rights, bill of rights and civil rights.
Human rights are the mantra of homeless activists and undocumented immigrants

The right people will never be perfect.
The perfect person doesn’t exist
What DeSantis incident are you referring to? Do you have a link?
