They are all excuses and efforts intended to obstruct, to put promarriage people on the defensive, to diffuse and dilute efforts and demoralize supporters. And to appeal to tacit bigotries and arrogance in Undecideds.

We should not dignify all these tactical obstructions by treating them as legitimate or as entirely appropriate to address in the here and now. The innovation in Blitzkrieg doctrine was an understanding that to achieve victory, the strategic objectives could not be allowed to be greatly diluted or contradicted by tactical objectives or wasting unnecessary time or effort on tactical obstructions. Basically, defensive hard points had to be encircled and kept unable to exert enough force by an adequate minor force (often specialists) and the big offensive forces just bypass it with minimal losses.

That is perhaps what is needed here. A division of labor where specialists contain and attack the problems if not break them, while average grassroots activists march on toward the principal objective.
