Some notes on how to best pursue respectability politics in this, the current year.

• Reams of what jokes are unsuitable for public consumption. Everyone knows it's much easier to remove concepts from the meme pool than it is to introduce them.
• Set ourselves up as virtuous examples, because the Right are known to care deeply about the conduct of their opponents.
• Assume that if the other side is made to look like "extremists", then that will severely hurt their likeability.
• Operationalize the strategy by constantly complicating the issue to show how clever we're. Nuance is important; it clarifies muddied waters.
• Above all, don't even think of anything uncouth and never do anything which might relieve stress (that means you lose).
