You like in the Oklahoma bubble. Not all conservatives are like that.

Notice that these liberals never raised any particular fuss over the leftists lying about republicans for decades, calling them names, accusing them of dispossessing seniors, poisoning the air and water, starving children, etc. et..... until the Republicans finally had enough, formed the TEA Party ("Taxed Enough Already"), and then elected Donald Trump, who began to fight fire with fire - a first for a republican elected official.

Only when Republicans started fighting back in the last few years, and winning, did the liberals suddenly decide it was a bad thing.

Leftist ideologies tend to lack logic.
So, they try to shut down anybody who challenges their nutty ideas.
Or they try to "shoot the messenger" with ad hominem logical fallacies or other bullying.
Of course most are clueless that they are engaging in logical fallacy.

As mentioned, many students at Universities are seeing the leftist insanity & turning from it.

In some places of employment, some are seeing or experiencing leftist bullying.
Google fired a guy just because he quoted FACTS from a study that some found offensive.
Leftists don't like some facts but instead of debating they go extreme.
People see this extreme reaction and realize that the left could easily turn on them too!!

Tim Allen & other conservatives in Hollywood have seen & experienced liberal crazy behavior.

I'm old enough to remember it was hard to tell the difference between the two parties. JFK today could not run as a democrat he would have to run as a republican. His statement about don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country would make Obama, Pelosi, Chuckie, and quite a few others commit seppuku on the steps of the congress.

I guess some folks think then JFK was too libertarian for some tastes with his tax cuts, lol.

Talk about a Trojan horse.
Somehow all this was supposed to be great news for us. I'm thankful that enough voters saw the light last November and hopefully they will continue to do so.
Cape Cod, open borders is not good for the every day hard working American but it's good for big business and the rich who own those big businesses who are also the people who contribute big money to politicians campaign coffers. It's not about the people, it's about who can give them more money.

You may as well wish for unicorns. Instead what we need is people to stop acting like they are the center of the world and that the nation is there to simply make them rich and service them.
Nor can you open the floodgates letting anyone and everyone in and call it socially responsible. I can't figure out why the average American supports higher taxes (more money out of their own pocket) unless you're on the take hoping that if you support higher taxes, you'll get a bone thrown your way.

"Being a conservative in Hollywood today is like being a Jew in 1930’s Germany"

Geez, these Hollywood elitist are a bunch of followers without a mind of their own. Or anything to get a job.
