These wouldn't be the first "liberals" to trample upon liberal ideals, or to pander like fools to a lowest common denominator, or to join in a push for more power for a decidedly illiberal police state.

How about we stop caring what has "appeal" to one or another artificial demographic category (as defined by public relations vultures) and start caring about right and wrong, freedom, rights, solidarity... you know, all that quaint democracy stuff.
