“If we weren’t such a threat to do so we would be ignored instead of attacked.”

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

No. No, we don't. This is simply a fairy tale, as told to children, to shield them from the reality of life. We are being attacked, because they have the upper hand, to such a degree, that they feel safe to do more than just destroy constitutional conservatism politically, but also to thoroughly marginalize and discredit the ideas themselves. They do this because they know they have won. Not because they fear they will lose.

In 2014, the country was given one last chance to rid the country of the left's most powerful weapon -- a thoroughly compromised opposition party. We failed.

Sure, they have won, that is why they keep losing seats to those tea party “hobbits”. Right now, they have only two advantages left, their leadership positions in the party and their big money backers, and one of those they will lose soon enough if trends continue. So they are squeezing all they can out of those leadership positions while they can still hold on to them.
