—”Even moderates and conservatives who may agree with progressives on social issues like gay marriage and racism are resistant to the left’s apparent self-righteousness and the hyperbolic emotionalism with which their ideas are pushed. They observe the left’s unwillingness to engage in intellectual dialogue, their ceaseless patronization of opposing views and their growing distaste for America, and they recoil.”-—
Bingo. For example, I couldn’t care less about same-sex marriage, and Trump NEVER even talks about it. But when I look at SJW socialist insanity, I’m more convinced than ever that Trump’s political enemies are much more dangerous than the Left pretends that Trump is.
That’s another thing they don’t “get”.
“..... I’m more convinced than ever that Trump’s political enemies are much more dangerous than the Left pretends that Trump is”.
You are absolutely right and that they are more dangerous is an understatement. They would eliminate us if they could do so and I’m serious.
