(36,457 posts)The liberal wing of the party has been told to keep quiet for decades. We're told that America isn't liberal, by both republicans & democrats. And yet when I show that Joe Conservative essay to my republican family & friends & ask them what they disagree with, they don't say anything. Why? Because deep down they want their food, drinking water, & medications to be safe. They want their bank account insured. They want affordable education & healthcare for their family. They like their weekends & paid holidays. The like their Social Security & Medicare. We need to remind them who got those things for them. It sure wasn't the republicans.
Instead of telling the left wing of the party that America isn't liberal, maybe we should educate Americans & show them just how liberal they are. Our side has ignored hate radio for 40 years & we still do. This is where the unreasonable hatred of democrats started & now it's morphed into an entire media machine. This nation will remain divided until our side acknowledges the danger that the right wing media machine has become & challenges their lies.
