What’s to spin? That’s for the liberal media to do. I see plenty of stories in said media about our so-called “side” “showing up” as it were, although they’re typically tinged with negativity and outright lies.

Take note of the lack of support the RINOs in particular have had for more conservative candidates of late, too, which is spiteful after using them in the 2010 “shellacking” and now undermining them. The candidates most definitely show up, but the money and party backing does not—biggest example of late was that of Ken Cuccinelli, and his near-comeback troubled a lot of the liberals.

I don't disagree with anything you just said. If we can't get the RNC/GOPe to change and to support candidates like Cuccinelli, we need to take note and reach into our own pockets, candidate-by-candidate. $1 from each conservative in one or 2 states would have given Cuccinelli a boatload of money compared to "Hillary's new campaign manager".

If we don't come up with a more useful strategy than just not supporting RINOS, we will likely suffer for decades more than if we actively make personal sacrifices for what we do believe in. Many of us may be willing to put our money where our mouth is, but far too many suffer "liberal light" attitudes and will let petty reasons deter them from actually coalescing into a true foundation of support.

I'm at a loss and I haven't seen/heard any truly viable plans of attack to turn it around before we fall into obscurity as a once-free nation.

The question is: What can we do to start having more than a peripheral and snail-paced effect with the understanding that the majority of shakers and movers in politics are actively working against those who we need to elect? Sans an outpouring of funding and other tangible support, I don't know what would work.
