Eh, the democrat party support is clustered in big cities and increasingly in suburbs where most people with advanced degrees and professional jobs live and work. It’s obvious that there are a lot of dumb democrats, but they do have a pretty deep roster of academics and cultural influencers that can make their case. It’s just the nature of demographics. The Republican Party is increasingly clustered in exurbs, small towns, and rural areas that are downwardly mobile and have been subject to brain drain for three decades. As a result, man of the smartest conservatives don’t live and work with the people they speak for, but live in big east coast cities or even LA. It hurts double in that the actual needs and lives of the people they speak for aren’t known by the people speaking on their behalf. That said, it’s not like affluent educated Dems are spending time in ghettos getting to know the wants and needs of the people there. The elite are fully cut off from the rest of this country. I’d recommend reading Coming Apart by Charles Murray. It’s about a decade and a half old, but the situation has only gotten worse since then. If anything I’d say the Republican Party is more democratic than the Democrat party just because the unwashed masses are able to vote for who they want in rural areas without the party picking their leaders for them (although the party tries). It’s the difference between Trump in 2016 (or Trump now) and the Democrats forcing Hilary and then Biden on their voters

When did the right ignore pop culture and what exactly did the Left do to own it?
The one thing I will give you on that is that the Left did deliberately infiltrate education, both higher and lower. That was a deliberate move.
Beat me to it. I think the media/entertainment world tips left because of the people that are drawn to it, I don't think very many of them become actors so they can change the world. When a culture gets past the stage of providing necessities entertainment and media gains steam.
There are too many statements about strategy and education to think that was random, though. They made that move and it largely worked.

Assassinations? Election fraud? There's got to be a line somewhere.
You either have to play by the rules the left has established or sit back and try to play nice while they laugh and continue trampling us.

All nations throughout history have moved further to the left in their timeline. Conservatives really can just hope to slow it down. You cannot go in reverse for any lengthy period of time because once you pass a progressive law, people become accustomed to it, and you cannot repeal the law. Ultimately the nation collapses on itself because the burden of government services becomes heavier than the market can bear. A new base level nation or several arise from the ashes to then make their progress to it's natural end like the previous one.

Exactly
"Democracy" is a race to the bottom. The job of conservatives is to slow it down.

Yes, exactly. Democracy is a cancer. The masses on either side don't deserve to vote. I wish we could go back to Aristocratic-Liberalism combo that founded the country. They designed all of this for a reason. All of it was undone with the 17th amendment too.

So there is no line, then?
Anything goes?

The reason the Left is wining is because they took over academia. From that we get politicians, military leaders, company CEO’s, social media CEO’s, media personnel, etc.
Now that they have complete control of all the crucial avenues of power and information, we are doomed.
