They're happy, have good lives, and have no desire to harm anyone. I understand you can't accept that because of your belief system, and I'm fine with that. But did you ever wonder why no one ever comes hear to talk about how much they hate liberals?
I already know your answer.
I've had a lifetime full of hearing all the ways nice friendly folk (some of them my family) hate liberals.
It's all horseshit. Currently they think NYC and other cities are being occupied by armed "migrants" and you can't walk down the street without being mugged. They think immigrants sit around all day doing nothing while gobbling up welfare; that is completely bogus based on any immigrant I've known. They think colleges are some leftist, marxist training yard where students are forced and brainwashed to to hate America. Again, complete shit. Students everywhere are free and encouraged to think for themselves (and that of course is bad, because they might begin to question good ol America's policies and Jesus both...)
You think they want to have an honest conversation about their grievances? The hell they do. They want to rant, and score. I've had many such conversations, most of them around the time of the Iraq War part deux. Rant, rant, rant, and any facts or news that went against what they already "knew" to be true was fake. And anyone going that way hated America and was branded a traitor, hated the troops yada yada. I should know.
One that cracks me up is the "green agenda", I hear that from the right these days. That nefarious liberal environmentalism that wants to save humanity's place in the ecology before we are toast. The planet will endure; we may not. How evil of them. Meanwhile the fossil companies are buying up influence like there is no tomorrow, which is a-ok.
And hey--if your marriage is hurt by gay people also wanting to tie the knot, your marriage is shit. Just sayin'. And wasn't a big complaint about gays always that "they are promiscuous!!"
In short the kindest word I can say about rural people complaining from afar about "liberals" is that they are ignorant. And they can't say they aren't trying to hurt people, when they vote for the party that expressly is trying to hurt people. You can't have that cake and eat it too.
