All of these attacks serve two purposes.

Firstly, it demoralizes Christians. For those not paying attention, the narrative might stick and the disappointment of watching a well-known Christian prove to be a hypocrite can shake the community. This could lead to feelings of isolation or even a loss of faith. It also teaches Christians that they should stay quiet lest they become targets of the mainstream-driven mob as well.

Secondly, it reinforces the idea to the rest of the populace that anyone outside the mainstream, especially their most notable members, are all raging hypocrites and that staying with the sane mainstream figures and believing what they believe is the right move.

This is how they paint the sane and logical as the fringe and make the fringe look sane and logical.

It’s how they move the Overton window, normalize insanity, and ultimately turn society into a hellscape. It might be a long, slow process but it’s one that they’ve been at for a very, very long time, and it’s definitely had its effect. It’s imperative that these lies get called out, but just as importantly, it’s important that these strategies are understood and well-known.

The fight for the culture has to include knowledge of the enemy’s playbook. Knowing your enemy is the first step in any battle. //

And your are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. -Jesus.

Notice where the gates are. They ain't on the church. The church is supposed to be kicking in the gates of hell not the other way around.

I've never seen gates get up and march into battle.

The question is, what is the battle over?

I agree with all of the above, but i think we Christians need to remember that this is first of all a spiritual battle, and if we only fight this on the political level we will become what we are fighting against, or worse.

Pray for your enemies. //

Prayer and exposure are the counter attack strategy. Often though one has to fight fire with fire. Alinsky's tactics work both ways. //

This article did an excellent job of not falling into the trap of fighting fire with fire. While preventative burns and backfires work when done right I have never seen fire put out a fire in a house. Going head to head with leftists by using Alinsky tactics is unwinnable for conservatives because the tactics (Alinsky's rules for radicals) run contrary to many of the common political principles of conservatives. Back in the 70's I was part of a conservative organization that chose to use the "successful" tactics of "community organizing" put forth by Alinsky and in a few months the organization was reduced to a remnant of bitter, angry, and obnoxious people. Aggressive and explicit exposure of the tactics behind leftist words and actions will eventually cause them to eat there own, until of course they pop up again.
