I agree with all your points, except I don’t think he’ll win many of them over. I worked around many liberals over the years and there’s no winning over people who are incapable of accepting logic, reason and the lessons of history. Make no mistake, they want to control us, restrict our freedoms, and make government the end all in our lives. Their relentless drive toward socialism is just a first step toward even greater evils. I’m afraid our differences with them are simply irreconcilable.

The Democrat Party of today is moving ever further to the Left. They have spent decades preparing for this moment in time having successfully politicized nearly every institution in our country (i.e., the education establishment, the media, the courts, entertainment, etc). This has been a crusade for them and they are not going to abandon that committment any time soon, if ever.

The GOP still labors under the illusion that the Left will compromise in the interest of the common good. The problem with that naivete is when the Left talks about compromise it always means “let’s do it our way”.

Trump engages people. He will actually sit down and listen and talk to them. He got This Jones to see his side, although he’s now gone back to trashing the president.

I think in their hearts, they know he’s right.

Another thing. These democrats are thinking that all these immigrants from the SA are going to vote democrat? Bull Crap. These people for the most part are Christian and conservative. Strong Family. They will vote republican. You watch.

Even though not talking to me; I agree with your points. They won't change directions and our differences are irreconcilable. I bet sometime in the not too distant future, depending on who the President is, we may end splitting the nation. The dems will have to move to dem states and republicans will have to move to conservative states. The alternative would be straight up war in the streets with riots with lots of burning, collateral damage and killing. The far left already has a mob mentality so it isn't much of a hike to get to rioting.

I propose they get Washington state, Maine, and Minnesota. We get the rest. Build walls around those states with big beautiful gates for trade. ;)

Good observations. I also worked with and socialized with liberals for several years back in the ‘90s and early ‘00s.

Something to add to your observations is that they are terrified of offending anyone. The group think promotes acceptance of deviance with no moral debate allowed.

Challenging their views, in their minds, is a “sin” and blasphemy. It doesn’t take much to get expelled from the circle for “heretical” thinking.
