What you are failing to consider is that any “compromise” is a loss to conservatives. It seems rather fatalistic to accept the fact that conservatives must fight a losing battle. The Republic has been pecked away, compromise by compromise, and so you are simply arguing that it is lost anyway, so let’s just make it a known rate of failure.

Gondring, fighting a good fight is always important. It’s also important to fight honorably and the right didn’t present itself well.
