“Liberals are attempting to characterize conservatives as uncaring and racist.”

No, they aren’t. This is a truism to them, so I doubt they spend much time “attempting” it.

Just finished a mystery novel set in Louisiana and Montana. Every single conservative character fit neatly into one of two groups, poor/ignorant/stupid/exploited or rich/evil/manipulative. Only the liberal/radical characters were even drawn as full personalities, the conservatives were caracitures.

The main characters were white small-town Lousiana cops, who were of course liberals. I’m sure there are just bunches of these guys running around down there.

Apparently the author is unaware how much his book would have been improved had he bothered to treat half his characters as human beings, even if he disagreed with them.

The same applies to newspaper editors, book editors, college professors, and Homeland Security.

Conservatives are half the American family...
