As I have noted repeatedly, liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism — as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin, and others have come to recognize.
The left has never believed in free speech and has suppressed dissent wherever it has assumed power. Free speech is a pillar of liberalism, and it has always embraced dissent.
The left rejects the anti-racist ideal of color-blindness. Colorblind is the liberal racial ideal.
The left supports racial segregation — such as all-black dorms and separate black graduations. Liberals have always advocated racial integration.
The left has always loathed capitalism. Liberals were always major advocates of capitalism — recognizing that only capitalism has lifted billions of people out of poverty.
The left has always been anti-Israel. Liberals have always been fervent supporters of Israel.
The left has always held America in contempt. Liberals loved this country. A liberal wrote, “God bless America.” No leftist would write such a song.
Leftists want to defund the police. No liberal does.
The list of liberal-left differences is as long as the list of left-wing positions.
Yet, it is liberals who keep the left in power. Were it not for the liberal vote, the left would have no power.
Why do liberals vote left? Why do liberals vote for those who have contempt for virtually everything they, the liberals, hold dear?
The question is all the more apt given that it is conservatives who protect virtually every liberal value. It is conservatives who seek to preserve free speech, racial integration, love of America, a strong Israel, and capitalism.
So why do liberals vote for the left, for the very people who hold liberals and their values in contempt?
There are two primary reasons.
One is brainwash. Liberals are brainwashed from childhood into believing that the right is their enemy and that pas d’ennemis a gauche (there are “no enemies on the left”). That is why there is no left-wing position, no matter how destructive or vile, that could move a liberal to vote Republican or identify with conservatives.
The second reason is fear. Liberals fear they will lose friends and even family if they do not vote Democrat or if they publicly criticize the left. And this is not an irrational fear.
America and the West are being destroyed by the left. But this destruction of the universities, the high schools, art and music, journalism, and of freedom itself could not take place were it not for liberals.
The fate of America and the West lies largely in the hands of liberals. There are simply not enough leftists to destroy our most revered institutions. They need liberals to serve as fellow travelers to accomplish their ends.
Should the American experiment fail — and it may — that profile in lack of courage, the liberal, will have made it possible.
so the left equal communism
Anyone still voting for the dims know what they’re doing. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise. At least in my personal life the line in the sand has been drawn. Anyone in the family who crosses the line….
That may sound harsh, but the dims are evil and if you have one in your family, they will sell you out so you must cut them out. Revolution is Hell.

PSALM 2.
“The fate of America and the West lies largely in the hands of liberals.”
The author wrongly presumes there are a significant number of liberals in existence who hold the keys to changing the course. I disagree. There are few liberals today, their numbers are insignificant. Else they would be speaking up about what is happening.
Ahhh, but fear to upset family and friends is the reason they don’t speak out. After all, they had no problem speaking up in the past. TV show Archie Bunker captures exactly how liberals deal with family who don’t agree with them. Reality is that most liberals have evolved into leftists, which is many were in the first place. They use the Trojan horse tactic.
And, logic tells us what? M: Leftists are evil. m: Liberals vote for evil. C: Liberals are evil.
Not something we already didn't know.
True, but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of it.
You are what you vote for.
I agree with you. My brother told me he voted for Obama twice, that was the last time I spoke to him. I told him as a veteran he was doing the same as spitting in my face. If we do not hold the line against evil it will engulf everything.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. The left is highly infected.
Liberals are Evil and keep voting for leftists.
I think that’s more accurate.
Didn't go over particularly well then or now.
The problem with voting pragmatically is you are what you eat and now that meal is still being force fed to us again and again.
Just sayin.
Prager being a shill again. The man is not very bright, his propaganda is so clumsy.
Pretty simple. If you’re still a registered democrat, you are anti American and a communist
Bingo.
When they fully embraced intersectionality a few years back they became totally evil..
Imagine you are a member of the LuggButt community; gay, married, hard-working. Yada, yada. Then, a few members that have been in the group all along announce that NOW is the time to agitate for normalization of paedophilia. ‘Cause, yah know, all love is love; and consent is implied if the kid doesn’t REALLY object.
If you don’t object, or at least leave the group; you have become part of evil.
Something similar to that happened all across the left political group.
Just like it happened in the ‘30’s Germany.
If you are not familiar with history, this is what always happens.
