Nikki Haley Tells High School Students To Stop 'Owning The Libs,' Start Trying To Convince
« on: July 25, 2018, 07:20:13 pm »

(For the record, Edmund Burke didn't say this.)

Quote
On Monday evening, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley — my personal spirit animal — spoke at the Turning Point USA High School Leadership Summit. There, she spoke some hard truths to the high schoolers, many of whom have been brought up on the following idea of conservatism:

Haley stated, “Raise your hand if you’ve ever posted anything online to quote-unquote ‘own the libs.’” A huge number of hands went up, amidst raucous cheering. Which is when Haley dropped the bomb:

"I know that it’s fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you’re accomplishing when you do this — are you persuading anyone? Who are you persuading? We’ve all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech isn’t leadership — it’s the exact opposite. Real leadership is about persuasion, it’s about movement, it’s bringing people around to your point of view. Not by shouting them down, but by showing them how it is in their best interest to see things the way you do."...

Today Meghan McCain and Nikki Haley, talk about effective "Persuasion."

Good for those two ladies.The GOP (and conservatives) need to be very focused on persuasion, and on the brand.

No, you have to try.
Eventually, when they get older, it'll click.
Lib kids will remember that someone, somewhere told them XYZ, in a calm manner with facts, and it turned out to be correct.
Just shouting at one another puts up barriers.
The Libs do that now.
Why be them?
