There's a lot of truth to what you say, but I fear "safety" and "happiness" are subject to just as much spin and ambiguity as the "first principles" you talk about. Your strategy won't work on progressives and Dems, therefore, because they inhabit a different reality. It might work on independents and swing voters, but I'm not sure how we can deliver tangible, practical benefits to voters if we don't control the executive branch. Even when we DID control the executive branch, and even when Trump DID deliver real benefits -- like the vaccines and a robust economy -- the media worked furiously, and successfully, to obscure those accomplishments. So...none of what you suggest will be easy to do.
