It means "stop letting them back up when you have them down because they'll never return the gesture."

It’s funny because to Frum, who is a neoconservative, I imagine it meant “Let conservatives have some wins so they don’t abandon democracy.”
And your read, taken to its logical conclusion, seems to lead to “the only way for the left to fight conservatives who have abandoned democracy is to abandon it themselves.”
I’m not sure I agree fully with either of these perspectives.
