## Resource

You get more of what you incentivize. Today is primary day in Wyoming and Florida, and conservatives are slated to go backward rather than forward. I explain how everyone is fighting the wrong fight by focusing on JD Vance and the next presidential primary rather than focusing on red-state primaries, how to deal with two and a half more years of Trump’s languishing presidency, and how to deal with the courts and judicial supremacy. The reason they have a different focus is because they are all about posturing for ratings and subscribers rather than influence on actual civilization outcomes. This is why conservatives are losing ground in deep-red states. The Right talks endlessly about its principles — but often fails to elect the people who will implement them.
