2016 - the year that the left took a right good hammering.
why is being a liberal such a bad thing in america?
surely wanting people to be treated equally, not being crappy to sections of the population deemed 'different' should be something civilised people aspire too?
I just cant get my head round how being nasty to certain groups of people makes a better society?
The American Liberal agenda is seen as being an excuse to be immoral, water everything down, break down traditions, barriers and the rule of Law. It may start off with some honourable intentions but it quickly transcends into authoritarianism and ultimately Totalitarianism and war.

I suggest we all start learning Mandarin.
I can't speak for America only myself, but a reason to oppose "liberal" politics is that often it demonises people because they complain about a problem associated with some touchstone of identity politics dogma.
The perfect example of this is when Gordon Brown was caught on audio calling a woman a bigot because she had dared question unmanaged immigration. It was a problem for her but the establishment view is that she is wrong and a bigot and therefore here complaint is without merit. Because that has been the default political position on many issues for decades now there are a very large cohort of people who think of themselves as decent and fair but who have been branded bigots or deplorable because they have concerns that are being deliberately ignored. The surprise is that it has taken this long for them to reach a tipping point.
But..but... what around the "progressive majority"?

Majority??? Generation ********* has taken a hammering this year simply because they exist in a bubble because they precisely think that everyone thinks just like them. They were in tears at work the day that Briexit happened. I took today off so i gather they're in tears again. Glad i'm not there today
