It only erodes if you let it erode. For example if your mission was to save Roe v Wade, the only substance that truly eroded that was the people who shot themselves in the foot in 2016 when they chose to help Trump win. True substance is actually winning enough seats in government to actually get the things we want.

Its not about theater being inherently good or not. Its about like it or not theater is very important in the day and age of social media and 10 second clips to win elections. One can cling moral superiority all they want, the reality is what it is.

You can most definitely do more good by actually winning elections then taking actions to usher in real substance. As opposed to clinging onto a morality complex that ultimately has us losing elections. This strategy of trying to feel pure and appear morally superior is partly why since 2008, Republicans have been able to work their way to where we are now with the Supreme Court and more. Id argue those are the vibes on our side that's shooting ourselves in the foot.

At this point its becoming less about doing the right thing and more about appearing to do the right thing. A mindset that shows you are willing to intentionally let the world burn, just as long as you can appear like you are morally clean.
