We moved to Florida from California’s Inland Empire. The last small bastion of Constitutional Conservatism in our home state.
What we have encountered is the same issue that former Conservative western states have encountered. Leftists fleeing the disaster they created and finally could no longer tolerate themselves.
The problem is, Leftists are Leftist Ideologues. They do not associate their politics with their failures. And, become hostile if you bring that subject matter up.
They insist that their concepts were simply not applied appropriately and if applied appropriately their vision will result in euphoria for all.
When confronted with the fact their ideology has never ever worked anywhere in history and in fact has resulted in Poverty, Misery, and Mass Massacres of millions who disagreed, they will either call you names and walk away or become openly hostile.
You cannot argue a point logically with Leftists. They must be defeated. Period. And, as with all such people, Islamist primary among them, any attempt at compromise or meeting them halfway is viewed as WEAKNESS.
Spot on.
