The right seems to fundamentally misunderstand how to actually wield soft power to get things they want.

They operate in a world where they want to dictate behavior and have everyone below them fall in line.

Of course they don't, soft power is soft, which means weak and the bulk of their voters need to feel strong. Even those who understand won't use it because it interferes with the short term goal of getting re-elected.
