As several commentators have noted, perhaps the #1 problem for Team R and their social conservative supporters is their idea that somehow they are ultimately right while the other side is based on delusion and fantasy, and that contrary to what real demographic data shows, somewhere in the forgotten fringes of American culture there is is that lost tribe of "true American conservatives" hiding silently who will emerge to vote someday and win. The very thought that they might be mistaken or not representative is inadmissible for some reason.
Not a good way to build a strategy.
