I'd say the end **usually** justifies the means. I took an online quiz yesterday that purports to classify ones politics. I came out 86% Constitutionalist, 83% Libertarian, and 76% Alt-Right. Some would say that's close enough for inclusion, others would say 'A miss is as good as a mile'. I would say that if you're a perfectionist, the Leftards have already won., as politics is a numbers game, and the numbers clearly favor Democrats over Republicans, and The Left over The Right. In an ideal world, where the numbers are equal, and both sides in political parity, you would be correct, but this is not reality. The Leftards are poised to import enough numbers to deluge this country in a tidal wave of blue, turning The Right into as big a joke as the Green Party. Identity politics has been weaponized into a mass recruitment scheme. The Right has three choices. Join in, and use this same tactic against the Leftards. Find a way to circumvent it. Continue to sit on its butt, do nothing, and eventually throw in the towel. I'd say compete. I'd say use the Leftards weapons and tactics against them to slow their expansion, while looking for better weapons and tactics to deploy. You cannot always get exactly what you want. Sometimes compromise is unavoidable. Likely the oldest tactic is divide and conquer. I don't like blacks, but I favor the #WalkAway movement. Don't much care for NeoCons, but if any are willing to join up, I'd support it. The old saying 'Politics makes strange bedfellows' tends to stick in my craw, but the situation is getting desperate. The current picky, snooty, exclusionist mindset will not serve The Right...at the very least parity in numbers is required, just to stay in the game, and superiority in numbers to grasp the reins of power. Idealism is all well and good, when it's affordable....otherwise Realism beats all else in a crunch.
