Look at what's happening in Europe because it's the same thing as here. The agenda of the Left here and there has resulted in exporting jobs and accepting hoards of third world immigrants which have spawned horrific waves of drug dealing, rapes, and property crimes. Overall in America crime has declined in the past thirty years, BUT immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaca, Russia, and other THIRD WORLD countries are the communities responsible for the explosion in drug use AND the other crimes resulting thereof.
If it were not for these immigrants and the drug problems they've created our crime rates would be even much lower than they are, DESPITE the fact that overall crime is down.
But in Europe the Far Right is surging, just as BREXIT and Trump are successes also. This is because the agenda of the Left has resulted in these twin harms of crime and unemployment, and common, ordinary people are reacting.
But the basic problem with the rancor of the present time is that the Left, both here and in Europe, doesn't view these differences as disagreements over politics or policy.
To the Left they view those maintaining traditional values or policies as part of a horrendous past of Patriarchy, Oppression of Women, Gays, and all Minorities.
To the Left the past was a horror of tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, homophobic, racist and sexist white male knuckledraggers who oppressed everyone else and the last years has seen social "progress" in repressing their power and displacing their IMMORAL views and behaviors.
To the Left these are matters of basic moral values, or ultimate right versus ultimate wrong.
So if you disagree with them in their minds you are an evildoer, a fascist who must be silenced. If they don't silence you then you will attract other like minded followers and the next step will be that you will take over the levers of power and reverse all the social gains of the last few years.
And then you'll instigate a "genocide" against everyone else.
This is why they are so passionate.
I disagree with them but I respect their sincerity. I understand that they honestly think they are doing the right thing.
But they will never accept that I also am trying to do the right thing.
And that's where the problem lies.
