Conservatives Need to Be for Something

       Stay away from gender, stop attacking people, and just start hammering downstream effects, preferably using the language of equality and opportunity. "We're leaving the most vulnerable behind in crime-ridden neighborhoods, forcing poor folks to save up to move away and rent, instead of improving the home they own or starting a local business." No discussion of the racial make-up of offenders, no comments about hellholes, etc.
          Just a basic presumption that the marriage of compassion and logic lead inevitably to this conclusion, and only an excess of pathos and no logos would lead to the "woke" position.
And you can repeat this across basically all of the issues, and it will win you the mushy middle.
