I was working with a group. They loved my ideas but continually drifted back to "campaigning" because that is all they know. This isn't the time for working harder, we have to be smarter if we are going to overcome the obstacles placed deliberately in our way. Doing 'what we've always done' is NOT working and will not work. I had to step back from the group as my contributions were being ignored. Sigh.
I've had exactly the same experience. I began to wonder if my local group was quietly funded by the Democrats. Local Republicans seemed to be entirely satisfied with remaining absolutely ineffectual in changing local elections. They go through the motions like it's still the 1950s, a few radio ads and mostly door-knocking.

SO frustrating!
