The current left wing elite and their supporters prefer the opposite. You see, a blue society who is reliant upon government that is reliant upon the rich is essentially controlled by the rich unless the government empowers itself and becomes a police state and seals it's borders and makes it virtually impossible to leave freely or escape.Quote:Conservatives aren't afraid of other opinions. We may not be interested in them or view them as legitimate or applicable or relevant but we aren't afraid of them. How many conservatives are you aware of who couldn't handle opinions and placed a liberal on ignore? Have I ever cowered to your opinion or a liberal group who shared your opinion or a rather large forum that was packed with liberals who shared the same negative opinions as you about conservatives?
The current right-wing elite prefers that liberalism become irrelevant so that Americans can accept that the only way in which to survive is to defer to the all-powerful elites of ownership and management. Such people are closer to the sorts of aristocratic elites who dominated political life in much of central Europe before World War II than to what I would consider conservatives -- and they were the backers of local fascists who destroyed democracy.
