I am more optimistic. I think it is a matter of the lone wolves changing priorities. It is more dangerous to stand boldly among scared sheep walk confidently through them, but we must. Because they will never follow a man building a nice little fortress around himself.
The sheep don't need to know why sovereignty matters, they will just do it because you are strong and confident and proclaim loudly that "I will not be the pawn of another man."
When the sheep's current shepherd makes a false claim about how you are dangerous to the sheep show them your good deeds. They do not start to follow you because you convinced them. They start to follow you because their old shepherd is now not as confident as you are.
They follow your confidence as you lambast the old shepherd for not respecting your liberty. Again, it is not your words that sway the sheep but the old shepherd's meekness before the crowd you lead.
These sheep follow you and yours up until you show them the new way, the free way, the righteous way. Where men are sole owners of their rightful property and the stewards of their own destiny. The sheep would have been scared of this moments ago before you showed them the path. But now that the path lays before them it is only natural that the momentum of the liberty you walk with carries them to freedom as well.
But that's just my two sats.
