Have you found this to be true?

It seems like liberals are almost always outspoken, while conservatives by-and-large keep their beliefs to themselves. Liberalism is "safer" to express in most social settings, and it also places a high value on evangelism.

I think this is kind of a whitepill. A lot of people become demoralized after seeing all the liberal messaging around them. It helps to recognize that liberals are just a lot more likely to speak, and that the silent majority often harbors conservative feelings they're too hesitant to share.

We absolutely should. But in today's environment, we have to be smart about it. There needs to be more discussion on how to reach the average person and not be socially ostracized.

I think normalizing conservative ideas might be part of how we get there but what do I know I'm just some guy on the internet.

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.
