The game is rigged. It has always been rigged. The biggest obstacle for every liberty-loving individual is their own liberty-hating neighbors (and maybe even themselves). While the masses are busy playing tribal wars with (R) vs (D) every election cycle, nothing positive ever comes out of it. The (R)s can't even hold the line, let alone repeal anything, while the (D)s are going full-steam ahead on totalitarianism. So long as the majority of this country can't get their heads out of their asses and force a massive wave of 3rd party intrusion into the two-party system, nothing with change. Libertarians are more than capable of completely replacing the republicans at the true party of freedom.
That's the political strategy at least...Here's the individual strategy. The one nobody wants to talk about because it requires individual initiative and actual work....
Mass noncompliance. Refuse to obey bad laws. Talk to everyone you know about jury nullification. Talk to everyone you know about the principles of liberty and what it means to be free. With mass noncompliance combined with jury nullification (requiring a highly educated public which is the hard part), there is not a single law in the books that they can throw you in a cage over because the jury will refuse to convict. And remember, you only need ONE juror to refuse to convict.
The absolute last resort is meeting force with force. When arguments no longer work because logic is being ignored in favor of insanity, then the last resort is to answer their totalitarian force with force of our own. This no doubt, is the least desirable outcome for everyone, but the founders recognized the importance of keeping this option on the table and used it effectively to win independence from the world super power of their time.
Failing or being unwilling to do any of these things, totalitarianism has already won. These conversations become utterly ineffectual and are reduced down to nothing more than bickering amongst those who are ultimately going to peacefully comply.
