"We all have obligations of self-betterment in service of God and fellow man."

A true and beautiful sentiment. And I hate to be argumentative, but the problem with rational discussion in the 21st century is not us. The leftists make false claims, will never compromise, never change their minds when they are wrong (e.g. about whether men can really be women), never change their policies when they are proven to cause great harm.

Leftists DO NOT BELIEVE that they have obligations of self-betterment in service of God and fellow man. We on the right can discuss things literally in good faith, but believing that we can make progress by using reason with leftists is a false hope, I am afraid. When has it ever worked?

We will never run out of "wrong thinking" people to disagree with. So if left of centre is to stop growing, we have to either shift the goal posts, (the centre line), or hope that someone changes their ways. Maybe don't call them leftists? They might just be assholes.

The goal is to leave the playing field. If you are a leftist and burn things down, you are actually just an arsonist. If you are a leftist and revising history, you are actually just an asshole. Criminals hide behind false identity. Just call them out for what they are.
