No. The Left has proven itself unwilling to engage in honest debate.
They claim that they totally believe Bill Clinton did not have sex with Monica until he confessed it to them in a televised apology.
They claim that they were totally unaware of any horrors behind the Iron Curtain in Stalin’s Soviet Union (good ol’ Uncle Joe) until 40 years later.
They claim all sorts of things. Doesn’t mean that they actually BELIEVE what they spout.
They held their tongues on criticism of the Clintons throughout 2 terms AND GW Bush’s 2 terms UNTIL Ms. Clinton posed an electoral threat to the golden child Barack Obama’s candidacy.
Fake but accurate didn’t sink their support for Dan Ratherbiased or SeeBS News.
They are willfully ignorant and even in the wake of 9-11-2001, they were quick to blame Bush “McVeigh types hijacked the planes” (Michael Moore trotted out this one), “Bush knew” (Hillary Clinton proclaimed this from the floor of the Senate in February 2002), “A missile hit the Pentagon”... and on and on.
The sheep refuse to wake up. It is their religion. To admit that they’ve been living a Socialist lie for 2 generations would crush their egos. They are unwilling to go to recovery.
Note, this isn’t EVERYONE’s response. There are 9-12-2001 conservatives (like Dennis Miller) and former Reds who DID cross over (David Horowitz, Orson Bean).
But I don’t know what it would take for much of the Left (or even the low information voters) to “hit bottom”.
The press certainly hasn’t hit bottom yet.
As a conservative, I still want to believe in the power of debate, the power of the voting booth. But debate is not possible and the voting booth is corrupt.
So I wait.
