They are not liberals. That appellation is obsolete. They are left-wing radicals. Leftards for short. We are the real liberals. You’re right about being aggressive. They have to be kept perpetually on the defensive. Physical violence, however, is the first resort of the incompetent, according to Asimov.

You want aggression? Coopt satyagraha, civil rights songs and direct action. Use it to protest the DC Gulag of the J6 dissidents. Use it to protest their heinous grooming of children. Go back to Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience. Refuse to pay school taxes en masse, and start up educational cooperatives. If they try grabbing properties for refusing to pay school taxes, form human chains attached to the property, break out the guitars and sing the folks songs. “If four people do it, they’ll think it’s a movement.”

It isn’t nice to block the doorways.
It isn’t nice to go to jail.
There are nicer ways to do it,
But the nice ways always fail...

They might try to ignore it in the MSM, but they no longer have a monopoly on communication.

Yeah, sure, but I bet Asimov lost a lot of lunch money over the years.

I do like all your ideas about civil disobedience though. I’ve been saying that is the next natural step since 2020 happened. But conservatives have 2 problems doing that:

1) they are all spread out, not concentrated in big cities where you can whistle up a mob on a moment’s notice

2) they all have jobs and families to feed so they can’t protest for days or weeks at a time, which is often necessary, and most can’t risk going to jail.

Plus there is almost zero support systems on the right for protestors. Nobody’s dipping into the bail fund to get you out. Nobody’s hiring a lawyer to defend you. If you want people to put their lives, their livelihoods, their good name on the line, they have to believe you aren’t about to drop them like a used tissue once you get what you want from them.
