Then we lost our country. Be prepared to compromise or end up in re-education camps before long.Then you'll always lose. And you'll always be frustrated about it.
The polity of a free society is about crating policies that work for as much of society as possible. People have different temperaments, proclivities, hopes, dreams, goals. I try to get this point across to my SIL who is a progressive activist.
The problem with activism is that a minority of people try to impose their political goals on everyone else. If it's imposed by a minority, it usurps the right of the individuals who disagree with the policy. And that's what is happening now with ClownWorld™.
But there's a conservative version of that where principled people don't want to compromise. Being uncompromising in matters of polity, because other people get a say too, unless you can somehow impose your will on the majority, that's really no different from activism.
Example: three kids want to play together. Two prefer to play tag. But one only wants to play catch, and will not compromise. The other two hate that, but would be open to something else. But the "principled" kid won't compromise. So he goes home alone. And the other two kids play what they want.
Advocacy is better than activism in a free society. Try to convince others that your way is better, but in the end, people won't all agree. And if you don't have the support, at least try to get things closer to your way.
Compromise has lead to this and continued compromise will lead to re-education camps.
