American conservatives have demography and a common self-identification in their favor. That should count for something in a republic.
Speaking of framing, Lakoff's Newspeak tricks don't hide the fact that progressives have an asymmetric relationship with progressives: Progressives envy conservatives and want to persecute the more successful ones through confiscations and legal restrictions. By contrast, what would conservatives want from progressives? Their grievance attitude generally makes them unemployable in the market. Would you hire someone for your company who listed a stint as a "community organizer" on his résumé?
