Their hearts and motivation are in the right place. They see pain and suffering in the world and truly wish to remedy that. Unfortunately they make the mistake of thinking that Government is somehow capable of creating a paradise if only a few more laws are passed. Conservatives recognize that mankind is a fallen creature and that government can function best by allowing maximum individual Liberty in which self interest at least can be used as a tool for good (see Adam Smith). Liberals pretend that government is somehow above self interest and corruption. They believe mankind is capable of perfection and that by replacing selfish moneyed capitalists with mythical selfless government bureaucrats they can right every wrong. It is a pipe dream, doomed to failure and disillusionment wherever it is taken to its logical conclusion in extreme socialism.How would you describe most democrats?
I have done that. And the ones I gravitate towards say that the problem was Biden pumping more phantom dollars into an already overheated economy in the midst of supply chain disruption. That is two many dollars chasing too few good equals run away inflation. Of course I am sure you can find your sources who claim otherwise. So we are right back where we started, no, and have made absolutely no progress towards a solutionPick what you want. Find a right leaning source, a left leaning source, and one you think more unbiased.
Educated= By what measure? Formal education? A piece of paper? Education doesn’t equate to intelligence, critical thinking abilities, or decision making. I have multiple pieces of paper btw so it’s not as if I’m just anti-education.Educated, urban, idealistic, forward thinking, socially aware

Urban= Fair
Idealistic=Chestfeeding. Birthing person. Men can menstruate. 7 year olds can choose their gender. Yeah, y’all have ideas for sure
Forward thinking=Try looking backwards instead. To a time when men couldn’t get pregnant.
Socially aware= More like social bullies! Agree or die! Clearance Thomas knows what I’m saying.
You want to believe that todays democrats are reasonable and rational. But your party has been hijacked. Thus why the sitting POTUS sounds more like AOC and less like VP Joe Biden from 08 to 16.
The liberal witnesses have refused to condemn infanticide, refused to define the word "woman," and claimed that men can get pregnant."We cannot share a country with these people. There can be no unity. They are lunatics and monsters."
You consider that comment to be the objective truth?
Anyone with knowledge of economics knows we are where we are because of printing too much with issues with supply.I have done that.

Except we have primaries where everyone rushes to the extremes. Biden was going to pay off student loan, go after the oil companies, and take away guns. Not originally his stance but he fell to it pretty quick in the primaries. He also appointed someone on their skin color and gender alone, which none of the others were woke enough to do.Sure it helps.
If people vote for the more moderate, then politicians are incentivized to be more moderate.
If people vote the extremes, then politicians are incentivized to more extreme.

The world is a sad and brutal place. But politicians are sad and broken people just like capitalist fat cats or selfish conservatives. Mankind does not have a political problem. Mankind does not have an economic problem. Mankind has a sin problem and the best thing government can do is put up guardrails in the form of civil society and give us maximum individual Liberty to seek our own personal salvation and redemption

Synonyms.
Educated = indoctrinated. As evidenced by the overtly liberal bias of higher level 'education', and the celebration of drag queen story time.
Idealistic = Lack of situational awareness. Pie in the sky dreams, but lack of common sense as to how to implement them. We can force everyone into buying an EV by dismantling the oil industry as an example. What happened to the JFKs that challenged Americans to put a man on the moon instead of beating them until they did?
Forward thinking = Only my ideas are worthy of consideration.
Nashville is in decline and decay?I’ll take .. What has been the determining factor for the the decline , decay , and break down of most urban cities in the US for $1000 Alex.
I would imagine the answer would be yes it I knew what the witnesses actually said.The liberal witnesses have refused to condemn infanticide, refused to define the word "woman," and claimed that men can get pregnant.
Do you consider the positions that these people have is based on objective truth?
You ain't black/taco?Not to the same degree.
Remember....IT HAS TO BE ABOUT DEGREES.
Look at what Trump said and did to people who went against him.
Compare that to what Biden and the left does.
NOT EQUAL
Other than Charlotte, every city you cited has a Republican Governor running the state. Can’t lose site of that.Nashville is in decline and decay?
Atlanta is in decline and decay?
Charlotte is in decline and decay?
Orlando is in decline and decay?
Miami is in decline and decay?
Phoenix is in decline and decay?
Every city I'm ever in seems to be growing and thriving.
meanwhile..........
Maybe take why are so many rural towns shriveling up as people flee to urban areas for $1000.
