I agree but from experience trying to rationalize with Liberals/ Progressives, it would not sway many, if any, of them a bit.

There is one old guy holdout Liberal among the group of older guys I socialize with. He drops into our spot when he's in town, every other month or so. For years people (he likes) have gently been telling him: "You aren't a liberal and you shouldn't be a Democrat anymore".

This last week he said, while he thought Trump went to far in his rhetoric, he was going to vote for him because Lizzie Warren is a Socialist and he could never vote for someone that far left.

There are still a lot of people who don't understand what the modern Democratic party really is all about, and we have to find better ways to get the message to them. I think that seeing a hard-hitting condemnation of the Leftist media - by a highly regarded Leftist media star himself is about as good as it gets.

But ultimately, you are right, it's very hard to convince most leftists of anything.

Thanks for sharing that.

Right on about finding better ways to get the message to them. I think getting the message to them in a way that they can relate to on a personal basis is best. They cannot see the big picture so it must be brought down to a personal level that they can relate to.

The Media is the biggest enemy. Damn them to hell and may they pay for what they’ve done to our country.
