To the lost democrats reading this, this also applies to you, not only to republicans. Both of you are liberals, only one of you is more honest with what they want to do with minorities.

    Not even liberals. What the US considers liberal would be considered very conservative, even in other Western countries.

    Amerikan discourse has twisted the term "liberal" to mean "broad-minded" or "socially progressive", but liberalism (usually neoliberalism) is really just the economic ideology of capitalism. If they're economically conservative and live in a capitalist country, they're liberals

    Even if you don't personally want to harm minorities, your government does. It's built into the system. You make one vote every four years. Did that vote ever include anything that would make the lives of minorities any better? Did you ever vote on anything that made things worse? Did worse things happen without your vote? How? Why?
