Why grassroots matters for the conservative movement

   Liberal groups are spending so much on grassroots because they know they must overcome the ideas deficit. On issue after issue, Americans prefer conservative solutions and fear the left’s extremist turn. In recent nationwide polling, Heritage Action found that voters overwhelmingly see a national emergency over immigration, reject single-payer health care, oppose political correctness, and support capitalism over socialism. These are only a few examples of where the right has the right ideas, and where the left is alienating the American people.

   The conservative challenge is to activate these citizens. As the left proved in 2018, this requires more than just television ads or digital campaigns. Grassroots infrastructure is the crucial factor. This, more than anything, is where conservatives need to invest.
