You can't fix stupid!

"Instead of open minds and lively debate, I found dogmatic progressive ideology and groupthink. One attendee told me that I, a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer, am “no better than Roger Ailes” because my company aggregates both liberal and conservative commentaries and thereby is “pushing a right-wing agenda.” Someone else said: “Trump supporters are so stupid . . . they think the tax bill was a good deal because they got back—what, a few thousand a year?”
I don’t claim to have the answers. I am, after all, a card-carrying member of the liberal elite. I went to high school on the Upper East Side, graduated from Bryn Mawr, and once made a six-figure salary at a Big Four accounting firm.
Still, I know that burying our heads in the sand and hoping everyone we disagree with goes away is not an effective solution. TheFlipSide.io has received lots of positive and constructive feedback from liberals and conservatives. But the most unconstructive criticism we’ve received comes from the left:
• “We need to convince the Trump supporters they’ve been duped.”
• “Trump supporters are not the norm; they are an aberration.”
• “You’re a traitor to the cause.”
• “Some ideas do not need to be engaged with, they need to be ridiculed.”
I am a bleeding-heart liberal, a patriot and an optimist. I refuse to believe that 63 million of my fellow Americans were “duped,” that exposing people to different viewpoints is betraying “the cause,” or that liberals have all the answers.
For all our smugness, we liberals have little to show. Republicans control the White House, Congress, and 32 state legislatures. Yes, polling data suggests we may be in for a “blue wave” this November, but we’ve gotten overconfident about polling numbers before.

Death is their only option.
For those who, like myself, want to know who actually wrote this;
Ms. Wahed is founder of TheFlipSide.io, a daily digest of liberal and conservative commentary
I’d like to see Dennis Prager debate whomever the left thinks expresses their beliefs with the most clarity on their side. I’d like to completely openly put our views up dispassionately for open public disacussion and thought.
People are duped on BOTH sides. And people sometimes are led astray by those who have personal agendas. We need to separate from personalities and deal with political honesty as it relates to the free republic that unites us all.

Remeber. They hate you. they hate us. They want you and your family - along with the rest of us - dead in a ditch. History is my witness. Prepare accordingly.
Even this liberal admits he is a bleeding heart and only admits he is willing to find other ways to gain his ends. And he calls this a warning? He is no better than any of his horrible liberal friends.
More information warfare, folks. Do not believe for a second this liberal, or any other, is willing to compromise.

Thank you, I couldn’t find her whole name
His mistake is still believing that liberals want to solve this country’s problems. They don’t. The want to use these ongoing problems as a stepping stone to personal power.
When he realizes that truth, he will have become one of us.
“Prepare accordingly.”
We are, my friend. We are.

Yeah, they hid it at the end of the column.
It must have been an oversight on the part of the amateurs who put it together.
It goes deeper than that. As Cultural Marxist they are so focused on the advancement of the other (it was supposed to be the Soviets, but the like of the Muslim Brotherhood have co-opted many with great ease) and the destruction of the “we” that the Left is descending into self-destructive madness from which nothing of this civilization can survive if they truly ran amuck as they are now ramping up to.
... well, nothing unless they are mercilessly gunned down by their fellow Citizens as they riot ... one big reason why they want to get rid of guns.

D’ya think?
America and its “liberals” need to realize that the DNC is no longer in the control of liberals.
In reality the FNC is controlled by jingoistic propagandist liberal fascists who promote only group think as promulgated by Saul Alinsky in his seminal work, “Rules for Radicals.” They have every intention of destroying America and our Constitution.
Our nations “liberals” must regain control of the DNC before they can have any chance to expand their electoral mandate.America has had enough of liberal fascism, especially after witnessing the weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, NSA,and the IRS against the People.
If you READ THIS EXCELLENT ARTICLE, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONTINUING DEATH OF “LIBERALS” AND HOW THAT HAS HAPPENED.

He’s already on the path to becoming one of us because he’s willing to consider other viewpoints.
The only way to be lifelong liberal is to refrain from that.
...said Hillary never!
All Liberals need to self abort to save the planet.
You can't fix stupid!
They hate you. They hate us. They want you and your family...dead....

Please study this post. Noumenon makes a lot of sense.
Liberal Snowflakes, please don’t cry when you “blue wave” putters out on November.
