When I think of conservative voters, I don’t picture separatists. I mean, I can, but they’re a subset of Conservative voters who are unreachable by anyone who doesn’t agree with whatever nonsense they believe. It’s why the people who are trying to be the voices for the movement now are also busy trying to shove those that made the first impression into the background.
The headlining question made me think of the strategy being employed by the separatist movement; in particular, how they are adjusting their strategy ahead of Danielle Smith’s separatist referendum.
Fresh off some of the criticism I responded to in my last post, this is where the big feelings need to be left at the door; I’m not endorsing the movement or equating it with non-conservative parties. I’m simply putting on my analyst hat and looking at the political strategy; what they did, what they’re pivoting to, and how that ties into the headlining question from another reader.
To answer whether anyone can break through the ‘Conservative or die’ mentality, all we need to do is look at a group that actually is set up to break through an identity barrier; separatists.
