I think for the Left, Conservatives are too rational and ‘boring’ and make things overall work ‘too well’ economically and socially, so the Left is put in the position of opposing this relative success and unexciting rationality with hysterical lying, identity politics, making unsupportable claims and accusations, nitpicking problem areas, setting up strawmen, adopting destructive alternative policies and avoiding reasonable debate.
They're just too dumb to understand that their ideas, ALL of them, have been tried before, in most cases dozens of times and thru dozens of permutations before.
Ironically, it is conservative ideation, embodied in the founding of the US, that is the singular example of a nation founded upon a pure idea. Yes, it's stodgy, boring, and 230 years old. So it can't be any good any more, right? It's lost its novelty, it must be time to move onto something else, right?
None, none, none of the alternative systems have lasted as long as the very young US, since its founding. To be sure, many many invocations of these alternative ideas, carried to their logical extension(s) = various forms of tyranny, HAVE lasted longer than the mere 230 years of the US. [I am not the world's history expert, and I may be wrong saying that *NO* other civilization worked; maybe tha Incas worked; maybe, in the ancient world, some Muslim-like religion worked]
However, history's cruelest twist is that the very last thing the left comes to realize in the establishment and ultimately the imposition of their utopia(s) is that they are creating or voting for or ratifying their own prison, their own tyranny. This is the quandary, that a mentally diminished population, particularly one drunk on "democratic" (eg; mob) rule wishes more and more government control and intrusion into their lives for the imagined end-result of making their lives easier. Freedom-lovers wish less and less government intrusion in their lives to make their lives easier. I don't know how to resolve this conundrum. Surely, an education loop must be involved. But apparently, in the United States of Entertainment (thx to Jonah Goldberg) there is not enough attention-span to convey the lessons of freedom and independence, and self-reliance, etc; etc; Furthermore, the demographics of the modern industrial world has apparently placed the productive at the the disadvantage of the takers and dependents. And so, the open question as I see it is, does the US have to go through the alcoholic-model "hit rock bottom" scenario to begin the rebuilding process?
I honestly don't know. I know damn well we're going to have to go through a period at least as bad as the 70's which was really a sucky time; as I believe anyone who lived through them will tell you.
