As an actual liberal it disgusts me that leftists have hijacked that label. Liberals should be arguing with conservatives about tax policy and government spending. Instead we have to align with conservatives to prevent our children from being forcibly transitioned and indoctrinated with a false history. One positive side effect from the conservative POV would be that if we do end up beating back the leftists I won’t be much up for quibbling about tax code.
Hell, at this point if it’s the far right that finally says enough and rises up...well, at least fascist countries don’t tend to starve.
It all pushes me farther right out of spite and necessity as well. I’ve come to realize that we do need a moral revolution in our country and not just a political one. I really don’t think the government has a business in people’s bedrooms, but pushing LGBT nonsense 24/7 to the public isn’t right. Even my gay friend hates the LGBT community now. I’ve never been one to call someone a murderer or a whore for having an abortion, but to think of it as normal and “just a clump of cells” is not right in any way. These people don’t even consider it as an unfortunate mistake. Those are the things that need to change.
Any liberal who has the ability to think critically and actually has principles is probably already here. They just aren’t going to be as loud about certain things (like abortion for example) as the conservative conservatives.
I have heard it said this way: The left violates the liberal ethic of individual agency and violates the conservative ethic of individual responsibility.
It’s also ironic that we call them liberal when the “iron fist of the government” is the antithesis to having liberal freedoms.

How can Conservatives and Liberals unite? I want this badly.
