Those holding liberal views and the principles that go with them are very different from those of us who claim to be conservatives or libertarians. The contrast between the left and right that make up the halves of America has never been more pronounced — nor, I would argue, more hazardous to our country's health. With midterm elections coming up in just about ten weeks' time, this might be the right moment to reflect on just how different the two Americas are.
The overarching differences
Let's start with traditional conservatives. By traditional, I am referring to a set of values that have transcended many generations. Some of them are love of country, respect for authority and the rule of law, trust in our institutions, belief in personal accountability, fidelity to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, trust in our courts (and juries) to fairly adjudicate the cases before them and mete out appropriate punishment to the guilty, confidence in our schools and teachers to educate our children passionately but objectively, respect for our military service members and law enforcement organizations for the dangerous jobs they do,

The world of the left
The left's world is dominated by, as I've stated, a belief in situational dependency coupled with might makes right. Leftists eschew actual democracy and fear free speech. They see the forced imposition of their cultural views as a holy crusade, and if anyone dares question that crusade's legitimacy, he is summarily banned, doxxed, deplatformed, ostracized from polite society, vilified, and fired from his job — or accused of being a white supremacists, misogynist, homophobe, right-wing extremist, or domestic terrorist. Leftists have no qualms about offering up the names of the "opposition" to the media and to municipal, state, or federal authorities for later prosecution or persecution.

Good point. Maybe it is better to state they became much better organized in the late 1800s and they quickly expanded worldwide.
Comments to this article on the originating site are interesting. One lib I know firmly believes ‘Trump broke the law on retaining classified documents that only the government can have. The DOJ is very serious about this and it must have been far worse than anything either Clinton did to have to raid a president’s home. It proves Trump was an ignorant buffoon who must be kept from governing ever.’ This is a core belief. This person was a contracts lawyer and VERY impressed with government by process and procedure nd very sure of how great the government and its minions are.
