Unfortunately, liberals have become mostly wacko. That is why ‘Liberal’ has become a word with negative connotations. The extreme religious right wing has always been the core of right-wing wackos. The transformation of liberals into “Karens” has been the failure of the mainstream liberals to maintain a core of self-respecting people who, in general, just want to help people.
Now, I can’t tell the liberals from the Wacko Liberals. There are a few semi-conservative liberals left but they are truly the minority. Both of the extremes are evil, but the right-wing religious nuts seem to be more compassionate of non-religious conservatives, and the right-wing conservatives have also been more accepting of less staunch conservatives.
Liberals, on average, have lost the ability to defend their beliefs. I have seen this time and time again in my being slightly right of center as I have been my entire life, but my move further right was not the conservatives gaining strength, but I was moved further right by the amount of leftists going off the rails.

This year is the first year in 28 years in which I did not hold my nose to vote Republican (Anti-democrat). I was never a real Republican. Although
I was always a Conservative. I was a wanna-be Hippie when I was young and at that early age did not know what liberalism was. As I grew, I learned about socialism and how it closely resembled liberalism. Then, with the Nuke plant coming to New Hampshire, I realized I was not a true hippie liberal and left the protesting to others. Good thing, too; a couple of friends at the time got arrested. It could have changed my life forever.
I ended up voting 3rd party and Libertarian for many years. Until the Clintonistas drove me to the right, and I became an Anti-democrat. The following elections, up until this year, also had the remains of the leftist loony Clintonistas. Yes, they are still there, but Trump’s failings finally put me back in the realm of being against the two-party system.
I can no longer support a corrupt two-party system. Unlike the majority of liberals, I am able to clearly defend my positions and my votes, whereas the majority of liberals are unable to do so by supporting a lying, cheating, scumbag pedophile with Alzheimer’s. And I can defend with proof each of my words describing the moron in the Whitehouse today.
I had originally asked liberals for one positive thing Biden has done while in office to make the country a better place, and after a long while, I had one answer with an actual good reply. I believe it was here in Carrol County, Uncensored, too. So now I have to ask for Two positive things. (Remember, stuff like lowering gas prices does not count since they went up under Biden).
So many items that cannot be defended, such as the lockdowns under both Trump and Biden, the monetary support of the lab in Wuhan, open borders, the ignoring of the constitution by allowing illegals to remain in this country, paying back college loans for a select group of people who made bad choices, supporting the money-grubbing medical industry in its hypocritical move to mutilate physically healthy patients, allowing males to compete in women’s sports, and this administration’s blind faith in inclusion to the detriment of this country. Biden has chosen liars, thieves, and people with much less ability than these positions require, besides the fact that inclusion seems to mean even people who are far from normal. This administration has basically claimed to want a New Normal.
I don’t know if the Liberal Hippies of the ’60s would fall in line with all the loony left has to offer today, but even dictionaries are listing the word Liberal as now having negative connotations. How did the left of the 60s, who I admired, allow their cause to be taken over, and even today, with very few leftists speaking out about the extremism going on?
