12. I think those moral narratives are powerful.

Good old fashioned right vs. wrong. That's the stuff which really speaks to the situation. Liberals like to laugh, which is fine. But you get stuff like dismissing conservatives as these back-country hicks, and making fun of that kind of person. That's where trouble begins, because you're setting up a situation where we consider it a "win" so long as Jesse Duke of Hazzard isn't in charge, which he never has been. That leaves the door wide open for the same slick, intelligent well dressed Wall st. Republican to walk right in, as happens again and again and again. People need to understand that the elite here who really matter here is going to be attractive, tanned, intelligent, fit, well dressed, and doing immoral actions...And any critique other than of the immoral actions is missing the point.
