1. Liberals as Historically Significant
Before those assholes on the other side brainwashed an entire generation into believing "Liberal" was a dirty word, Liberals, both
Republican and Democrat gave America its middle class. The break up of monopolies, child labor laws,women's right to vote, the right to collective bargaining and to form Unions, six day and later five day work weeks, paid holiday, overtime pay, work place safety, the right to strike, minimum wage, social security, unemployment compensation,
workman's comp, Medicare, equal rights for women, civil rights for all minorities regardless of race or creed, and the list could go on and on. The very definition of "liberal" means the advancement of our civil liberties and standard of living. By impugning what liberals stand for, the assholes have convinced many Americans to vote against their own ,best interests, and the assholes laugh at all of us, all the way to the bank.
