One of the reasons that Twitter is such a sewer. Conservatives simply don't engage online at the same rate as the ultra-left radicals, who feel the constant need to impose their views on everyone else.

To liberals Politics is life. Conservatives have other fish to fry.

That’s a lot of words to say “they never shut up”.

They are more radical on the Left.

On the conservative side, we believe in certain principles, but we adhere rigidly to the Consitution and Bill of Rights to guide our actions.

The Left sees the Constitution and Bill of Rights as an impediment to their goals, so they must bypass, ignore, or destroy those rights and that is their guide to action.

If they had their way, they would muzzle conservatives completely at the very least, and at worst, would eradicate us the same way the communists eradicate their ideological enemies. History has shown us all to clearly how leftists operate.

Which is why we will not surrender our 2nd Amendment rights to be at the mercy of their tyranny.

IMO, and generally speaking, Conservatives are anchored in faith, family, and country. Liberals are anchored in nothing but themselves and are generally weak people emotionally, and certainly spiritually. Politics is their religion. They are their own gods in their political religion. This is why you they cast themselves as the morally superior and everyone else that challenges their ideological religion is... a racist or Hitler, or both.

The liberals hate the Americans.

Period.

They can’t be reasoned with, they can’t be bargained with. They don’t feel pity of remorse or fear,and they absolutely will not stop until you America is dead.

I never saw the breakout between conservatives and liberals but it used to be 40% conservative and 20% liberals. When it comes to poles, surveys and studies like this I still remember them telling us Hillary won.

I have a number of friends and relatives with whom I do not discuss politics.
I have not cut anyone out of my life because of their political beliefs.

I have a number of friends and relatives who have cut me off because of my political beliefs.
It’s not so much that we argued about politics (because, as I say, I didn’t discuss politics with them).
It’s that they figured out that I wasn’t agreeing with them enough when they talked politics.
That was enough for them — they wanted nothing more to do with me.

No loss.

I saw a bumper sticker last weekend at a local eatery: Orange Lies Matter.

Despite my annoyance at the sentiment, I would never damage another person’s property for their viewpoint. Neither would anyone else I know who holds conservative views.

I live in a very leftist area. Any hint of right wing politics would cause my car to be damaged in any parking lot or on any street in this city. It happened to friends and acquaintances and they too, will not display their sentiments now.

Therein lies the difference. The left is immoral, has no distinction between yours and theirs, is slavishly opinionated and is ripe for the embrace of totalitarianism.

This does not mean I will not speak out. It means I will choose my battles in this war.

I think it’s the times myself. They’re the ones upset now and we are all fighting apathy because Obama isn’t in power screwing up the economy and healthcare.

They encase themselves because they CANNOT debate the issues, have no knowledge of history or the Constitution, and certainly have little knowledge of what they claim to believe. A debate with them finally comes down to calling their opponent names. They simply have nothing to justify what they believe.

I’m fairly active on Twitter- I especially love responding to DNC tweets. THAT is FUN!

When looking at very public political rallies, protests, speeches, or campaigns event, it is three times more likely that one who is extremely liberal will be at a pubic political event compared to both moderates and all forms of conservatives.

Guess the author hasn't been to a Trump rally. :-)

“Insular” carries more with it than an emotional set. These are, especially as they get wealthier, people who are largely insulated legally and economically against the negative results of the policies they are advocating for others. Herein lie the hypocrites in private jets, yachts, and carbon-fiber sailboats who are thoroughly concerned about other people making sacrifices to save the planet; the city dwellers eager to preserve predator species by inflicting them on their rural counterparts are here as well, as are the strident advocates for illegal immigrants who screech if the same turn up in their own neighborhoods. It isn’t simply virtue signaling, it’s consequence-free virtue signaling. These live in digital enclaves just as they do in physical ones.

This story amplifies the significance of the President’s rallies. If Libtards are much more likely to go to a political rally, the sheer numbers of folks going to MAGA rallies should give everyone pause.

We have jobs.

And families.

Aside from FR, where I spend far too much time, I am not on social media. When would I have the time?

In the culture war, conservatives wont fight. That makes them useless.

And that’s why the domestic enemy wins.

And if anyone doubts that the domestic enemy wins, take a real hard look at the s**thole situation we’re in and take a real good guess at how we got here. It didn’t happen by magic.

It took decades of moral cowardice and rationalized excuses.
