You don't want to know what time on YA politics has taught Republicans about liberals? I'll tell you anyway....
I used to think that liberals were open-minded, easy-going people who were accepting of people and their thoughts. I used to think liberals liked to debate issues and discuss. I guess I bought their
PR.
I now think that liberals are the most closed-minded, hate-filled people I have ever encountered in my life. They accept nothing and no one but those who agree with them. They don't discuss, they insult. If they don't get their way, they become extremely bitter and do whatever is necessary, ethical or not, truthful or lies, to bring others down.
I now am more reluctant than ever to vote for a Democrat, though in the past I considered what a candidate stood for rather than with whom the candidate was aligned. (I am only going out to vote next Tuesday to vote for a Democrat, though. I won't vote for anyone else.) I am now suspicious of liberal motives and look for their agenda. My encounter on YA with liberals have made me more conservative.
