I disagree, I think what our side has lacked was the ability to visibly push back against the left in a way that resonates in the meme-driven, soundbite, text message culture we live in today.

Cultural guerrilla tactics is something the left has practiced for a long time. We need to be able to create our own counter for their tactics.

This year, our side did very well in pushing the left back on the field of ideas. Trump knows this game well. When he jumped on Internet efforts to turn Hillary’s deplorables comment into a badge of honor and gave it press (Les Deplorables) he captured the mind share of many people.

The artist who is pasting satirical posters with Trump and friends as Star Wars figures and calling it “Rogue Won” around Hollywood just to tweak the left is a good example of this. The artist who created the Obama-Joker-Socialism sticker is another good example.

Now’s the time to fight back. The left suffered a big defeat with Hillary’s loss. I’d prefer we don’t “go wobbly” and continue to press our advantage, wherever we can find it.
