yes they would look like total fools, as they are citizens and not politicians and they don't work in the political spectrum. Just like the average conservative hardhat would look like an idiot trying to debate James Carville.
Liberals don't have 'abc, nbc, cbs, hollywood, newspapers etc', the conservatives do. Well, maybe we have hollywood
Theoconservatives certainly exist, but I think they're pretty much despised by anyone who isn't a theoconservative themself. Their voice is disproportionately loud as compared to their numbers because they are VERY active and very loud, and the squeaky wheel gets the greasing. They vote, they march, the mail their local representatives. You might say they do it with religious fervor.
