..they don't have any brain cells, what do you expect?
When did being a liberal become such a bad thing? lefties this, lefties that.
Remind me how much of the globe we controlled at the height of the British Empire?![]()
One guy with an axe? An extremist idiot perhaps.
Right wingers bought GUNS to a "peaceful" protest in Charlottesville
Anything more need to be said about that?
When they stopped being liberal.
Liberalism has been utterly corrupted. Modern liberalism is extremely illiberal - it's authoritarian, intolerant and bullying. It goes as far as embracing concepts such as thoughtcrime and precrime. It goes as far as embracing violence as a political tool. It no longer has any connection to what used to be called liberalism.
People who like what used to be called liberalism need a new word because that one is ruined.
In this particular case there were actual fascists and neo-Nazis, but it's important to remember that usually "liberals" use those words to mean "people who don't obey us". There's hate on both sides. There's irrational prejudice on both sides. There's threats and violence on both sides. There's blame on both sides. It's more one-sided in Charlottesville, but in a wider context there's blame on both sides. Or there should be. The fact that the "liberals" (who are extremely illiberal) have far more power and favour far more fashionable irrational prejudices shouldn't make them less blamed, but of course it does.

Identity politics is a bad thing imo.
Young America's Foundation (YAF) is a conservative youth organization, founded in 1969, whose self-described mission is to ensure that "increasing numbers of young Americans understand and are inspired by the ideas of individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values."[3] Alumni members include Jeff Sessions, Stephen Miller and Tom Clancy. [1] Donors include Pat Sajak, the Koch brothers, and Amway billionaires Richard and Helen Devos.
Abu Ghraib
D'Souza has argued the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal was a result of "the sexual immodesty of liberal America." He further asserted that the conditions of prisoners at Abu Ghraib "are comparable to the accommodations in mid-level Middle Eastern hotels." [50][51]
?Did you miss the /s?
We've got Indian far right now...
some of the mainstream media are doing a good job of driving people to the conspiracy sites like infowars or extremist sites like breitbart, it is quite easy to see, from social media, that calling the latest incident in Boston a 'white supremacist march' is rather disingenuous, especially after the organiser was clarifying to them that he's not and he doesn't want it to be that at all:

I mean at the previous march at least they had actual Nazis, this youtube clip is rather amusing too, unfortunately they swear way too much in it to post or link here but it is worth a watch, they're happy to scream Nazi and just eject some guy who clarify a bunch of times that he's not a nazi and just wants to talk to them
