How and Why do RW Extremists win? [View All]

It looks as though victories in recent years have been handed to the Reactionary Right.

Whenever Extremist RW'ers win, it is a cause for concern.

We need to look at their tactics and beat them by making their plans unusable by them.

Here are the 'cards' that the RW pulls out and uses to win, and let's try to find out what we can do to stop it.

Moral Values - The Moral Values Card. Tried and true. If we're going to put a stop to the 'christian' Right wing of the Far Right, burning this card is the way to victory. You can tell they use this card when they talk about banning Abortion or turning back GLBT rights. To win, we have to force the RW'er to debate on REAL Issues.
Examples - "I'll ban abortion", "God this", "Jesus that", getting an endorsement from a 'christian' Right leader, etc.

Moral Panic - "Something evil is afoot", this is the Moral Panic Card. Satanism in the late 80's, Bill Clinton in the 90's, etc. The Red Scare could also count as this. This usually comes in the form of Propaganda. So to beat this, we have to catapult the propaganda back at them.
Examples - The Red Scare, "Bill Clinton (Insert phrase about how our moral values are under attack here)", "Liberals are removing God from the Public Schools", etc.

Infiltration - Do you know a RW'er who is afraid of Immigrants "carrying diseases" into the US? How about a RW'er who believes that Al Qaeda has taken over the media? If so, then you are dealing with someone who has been dealt the Infiltration Card. These people usually aren't moderate, they are rabid RW'ers, some going to the point of racism and/or religious bigotry. I honestly don't think there is much we can do for this, except debunk what they say. Once they think that all this "Infiltration" is happening, it usually is a lost cause to try and show the truth to a person who has bought it.
Examples - "Mexicans (Insert blame here)", "Those Muslims and the Liberals are allies", etc.
