this sort of 16th century post-enlightenment liberalism has been the 'strategy' of outer party cuckservatives for the past ~200 years and look where it got them; not a single issue have they ever prevailed over the inner party whigs, who always got their way in the end over time; just constant losing and losing decade followed by decade on every point of contention, culminating in the shitshow we have today
because, of course, that's exactly what their ideology is designed to do; they can't Own Teh Libs because they *are* liberal whigs at heart - inconsistent, faithless whigs who keep trying to make unprincipled exceptions to whiggery for the sake of functionality without any true ideological justification for such; controlled opposition specifically selected for systems of belief that can never actually threaten the demotist ruling class, to preoccupy the territory and capture or push out any that might so do
