[Dad was my hero]

I think you misunderstand the differences between the right and the left. The right doesn't think what other people have/own is really theirs. The left believes - because that is what they've been told for the last couple decades that what others have is really theirs and they are getting tired of waiting for it and all the prosperity they've been told will come with it.

And they've also been told that they don't have to hear anything they don't want to hear and their feelings are paramount.

What they've been taught and told by their politicians has been a recipe to brew a disaster.

The right believes in the ballot box and representative government and (unfortunately) that words have meaning and politician's promises should be taken at face value.

Then you are saying most GOP politicians are leftists.
