That sounds more believable. The liberals becoming more open about their beliefs? They don't have beliefs, just mimic the media.

Never heard a liberal suggest it, so you are clearly confused about who is who, and who wants what.

It's beyond obvious it's an anarchist chant.

Yup. Its gotten to the point where if I know somebody at an even casual aquaintence level WITHOUT knowing their political beliefs, I can be assured that they're either conservative, moderate, or independent. If the person is a liberal they WILL let you know very quickly. Its rather tacky and classless I think the way liberals have gotten so "In your face" and outspoken in thier politics.

Many liberals will whine about how Trump and his supporters are"Nazis" and cry about some supposed unfairness that white men have, or the "evil" of capitalism, or how terrible they think America is, and they think nothing of how crazy and extreme they sound. They don't even care or know who their target audience may be, they just feel entitled to let all their ugly opinions hang loose out in the open. They're like a 400 lb person wearing a bikini.

Yep. They used to pretend that there weren't any socialists on the left, or that there weren't any communists on the left, or that there weren't any globalists on the left...they would argue and fight you to the bitter end to lie to your face about that.

Now that they had their little taste of it all with that loser Obama for 8 years, where they were licking their chops, so sure they had indoctrinated enough people, they are pissed that they lost.

Now they're angry.

And angry people can't help but reveal exactly who they are: traitors and in some cases, domestic terorrists (antifa).

Cat's out of the bag, they can't go back on that now. Their emotions got the better of them, and they will ensure continued losses.

I was convinced he would never win the first one.

I live here, and CA has gone bonksht socialist. NO Republican will win here in the near future, and the west coast states have become so loaded up with east coast and mid-west liberals that they shot themselves in the foot as far as the electoral college goes. Now they want to secede (more craziness) which would ensure the demise of the dems.

We may not see another Dem president for awhile simply because of that fact.



You are one of the few honest liberals that admit illegal immigrants are more about the votes than protecting American sovereignty.

That base may be growing, however it is now becoming a trickle. I'm not so sure you are expanding the base as more and more moderate liberals are becoming Libertarians, if not outright jumping ship altogether. Keep thinking positively. We'll know in Nov 2018 which of us is correct.
I live here in California too and we both know seceding in not going to happen nor is it on the radar screen of anyone except those who falsely believe Trump had a higher inaugural turnout. And far from shooting themselves in the foot, if you haven't noticed, our coastal red states are slowly turning their neighbors purple.

Sad to say, but you are one of the many dishonest conservatives who love to misrepresent what liberals say and believe. FYI, we're a nation of immigrants, the vast majority of which are legal and who care about protecting American sovereignty.

Yes, we liberals do tend to thinking positively while conservatives continue to paint such a bleak view of America. And you're correct, we'll know in Nov 2018 which approach is the correct one...

I am a dedicated Leftist Liberal and I have never heard a Right Winger even come close to knowing my beliefs. However being called a traitor because I am a Liberal both insults and angers me. I am a Vietnam Veteran and consider myself to be a Patriot. I took an oath to Defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I have never released myself of that oath.

So none of your posts in here have revealed any of your beliefs? We have all expressed our opinions and beliefs in here otherwise why would we even be in this forum?


As a patriot and a veteran you must be opposed to illegal immigration, amnesty and are pro-securing our border and the enforcement of our immigration laws, right? That doesn't fit the leftist, liberal mindset.

Default Are Liberals Becoming More Open About Their Beliefs?

Actually, they always have been. And all the while, they're the most closed-minded people in America.
