I agree, and not to single you out, but I think "just some guy on the Internet" perfectly explains the conservative mindset.
Basically conservatives see ourselves as regular people while liberals see themselves as "advocates for justice" or "civil rights experts". Conservatives are amateurs while liberals are professionals - in terms of mindset, engagement, training, etc.
We really need to get over this if conservatives are going to start winning. An easy place to start would be to use Poal as an organizing platform for things like boycotts. Imagine getting every major user on this site to boycott a list of companies, and send every company an e-mail saying why they're boycotting. And then go a step further, and reach out to other conservatives online and get them to boycott too. It could be the start of something great.
