Ross Douthat stated that conservatives have lost the social media battle and need to retreat to controlling bottlenecks like hiring and promotions in institutions of power.

And Ross Doudhad at New York Times, he said it explicitly in the New York Times a few weeks ago. He's ostensibly a conservative. He said, how do we fight Nick Fuentis and the Groypers? He said, well, we've already lost the social media battle. We're not going to have control over censorship and blacklisting in the way that we did five years ago. He said, so that's over. We need to retreat. He said, what we can control is these bottlenecks. He said, we can control who is hired, who is promoted, who is accepted inside the institutions of power. So he said, that is where we still have influence. That is where we can still have some degree of gatekeeping power. So he said, we can control who works in think tanks, who works in congressional offices, who works on campaigns.
