Culture is where the culture wars started -- with the arts and humanities. And as you note, conservatives, deluded into thinking these activities peripheral or effete, conceded that ground to the post-modernists, relativists, and other nihilists. With the results we see today. Big mistake to ignore the arts. Conservatives have a lot of catching-up to do, and they can't do it with patriotic symbols, cowboy art, or Grandma Moses images of small-town America.

Oh yes so much 'catching up'. Catching up like there being 2 million tax payer funded progressive extremist Civil Society groups with monopoly decision making & influence powers in every town across the United States.

Catching up like opposition leaders to this extremism (conservatives, moderate liberals, libertarians) having managed to only set up 0.02% of these 2 million groups effectively leaving them to run rampant unopposed.

How is this level of universal 'stupidity' not totally and laughably deliberate?

Yes, certainly an imbalance there. If taxpayers ever get a hold of what their taxes have been paying for,... there will be hell to pay.
